Sam Schenck first stepped onto a yoga mat during breaks from her dance training, searching for a way to stay in shape. What made her stay was the contrast - unlike dance, yoga didn’t demand perfection from an outside eye. Instead, it gave her something that felt completely her own. With a BFA in Dance, Sam has studied the body and its mechanics intently, and she brings that depth of knowledge to her teaching, alongside her 200-hour yoga teacher certification and 450-hour classical Pilates certification. Students can expect a powerful yet soft space, full of choice, honesty, and permission to listen inward.

Off the mat, Sam is always creating - crocheting, throwing clay, or sewing (a skill her mom insisted on when Sam once dreamed of competing on Project Runway). For her, Grace & Glory Yoga is a place to arrive exactly as she is, and she hopes her students always feel the same.
