Hey all... happy weekend :) Hope you are relaxing and enjoying time with those you love.
Today I'm excited to introduce you to Sam, one of my lovely sponsored yogis. Sam has been practicing yoga for over 8 years, in a variety of styles: Bikram, Kundalini, Dhyana, Hatha, Dahn, and Yin. She also enjoys Pilates, cooking, working out, dancing, traveling, writing, painting, photography, and learning new languages.
When I read Sam's application for Sponsored Yogis, her compassion really resonated. As she says:
What is unique about me is my love for people and the ability to connect with anyone I encounter. I am an open spirit and I am willing to lay it all on the table. This characteristic easily puts others at ease, often moving them to do the same.
My ability to connect with people from all backgrounds in short periods of time is partially due to growing up as an Air Force brat and living everywhere from Tucson, AZ to Incirlik, Turkey. My friends, family and coworkers are throughout the world.
My background is in international security, Middle East, religion and sociology. I currently work for a government contractor in a typical DC job, and do freelance translation and editing on the side.

As part of the Sponsored Yogis program, Sam received some rockin' yoga wear from Prana Vida. Here are her thoughts on the gear...
I was so excited when I received my package from Prana Vida!
Amelia sent a pair of flow capris in Evergreen and a headband, racerback tank,
and leggings in Fireside. Everything was true to size, great quality, and the
material was so soft and lightweight.
I’m usually hesitant about buying pants or shorts with a
foldover waistband, but I was pleased with the flow capris in Evergreen. The
foldover waistband stays put throughout my practice, and the slit on the side
keeps me cool and comfortable.
Prana Vida sells such fun patterns! I found the patterns to
be a nice change from my usual black tank and black yoga pants. If you see a
pattern that you like on the site, don’t wait to order what you have your eye
on because the pattern choices change frequently as new ones become available.
I definitely recommend checking out Prana Vida Style!
Sam has some awesome posts in the works about gratitude and life coaching -- stay tuned for those. Much love to all my sponsored yogis, and all of the amazing sponsors who donate to the program. Namaste.
