SAMANTHA MEE

Samantha Mee is a seasoned healing arts practitioner with over a decade of experience integrating body, mind, and spirit through a diverse array of holistic modalities. As a yoga instructor, ayurvedic consultant, reiki healer, licensed massage therapist, sound healer, intuitive astrologer, and acudetox specialist, she brings a deeply intuitive and trauma-informed approach to each session and offering.

Known for her grounded presence, compassionate touch, and soulful guidance, Samantha weaves together the physical, energetic, and emotional layers of healing to create a truly holistic experience for every client she serves.

CINDY LEVINE

Cindy believes yoga is a mirror for life off the mat. Every class she teaches is built around a theme designed to stay with you long after class ends — woven through a practice that moves between moments of stillness and moments that ask you to find your edge.

Known for a presence students describe as sweet but firm, like a maternal figure, Cindy has a gift for saying exactly what someone needs to hear, often without knowing it in advance. Her focus is teaching students to breathe with calm even in life's most challenging moments — on the mat and off it — so they can meet everyday stress with less reactivity and more mindfulness.
