About Sam - CORE yoga

Sam Edwards: Founder CORE yoga

As a student of Jason Crandell (ERYT 500hrs), Sam teaches yoga with the same approach as she follows in her personal practice.  An evenly paced vinyasa flow yoga that incorporates mindfulness & technical precision.  A satisfying mélange of power & yin to help balance body, mind & soul from the everyday stresses of life & training.  Sam loves to run, swim and cycle and has found her yoga practice instrumental in her ability to complete many races over the last few years; including her most recent Ironman achievement.  She uses her experience as an endurance athlete & yogini to help her students to develop proprioception; to improve their functional strength, flexibility & mobility through conscious movement & breath.

Sam is consistently developing her knowledge and understanding of both yoga & the human body through her trainings since 2012 (200hrs Yoga London; 100hrs Advanced Anatomy Yoga London; 200hrs Yoga for Sports YSS; 300hrs Jason Crandell Advanced Teacher Training; 40 hours Yin & Meditation Sarah Lo) and through other developmental courses working with internationally recognised teachers including Tom Myers, David Svensson & Jill Miller.

Before Yoga become her main focus Sam also trained with Triathlon England as a Level 2 Coach & with FASTER as a PT & Functional Performance & Running Coach
