Instructors
Samantha Romagnoli
Sam is your yoga instructor certified with 200-hour certification from Barcelona and 20 yrs. of yoga experience. Her journey into yoga started in America Florida, where life changes called for a needed escape and yoga seemed a sensible choice. A distraction at first but it then turned into a lifestyle choice. Hot Hatha Yoga was a life changer.On returning back to Europe she decided to try different types of yoga, culminating in a teaching course in Barcelona in Vinyasa yoga. After meeting an amazing group of people and fuelled with enthusiasm teaching became the next sensible career choice.
