Samantha Carney, Teacher and Inspirer

Samantha is a passionate yoga instructor with 16 years of experience. With almost two decades of competitive cycling and marathon running under her belt, she has come to appreciate the many benefits that yoga can offer to athletes. Originally from Gettysburg, Samantha spent much of her childhood traveling the world with her military family.

In 2000, Samantha discovered yoga as a way to deepen her workout routine beyond the gym. She quickly became hooked and in 2002, she completed her certification as a group fitness and yoga instructor, with specialties in Boot-Camp, Circuit Training, Spin, and Hatha Yoga. While her love of yoga initially grew out of her physical fitness training and competitive racing, Samantha has since become enamored with teaching Vinyasa and Ashtanga yoga to students of all levels. She is certified by SCW fitness and holds three yoga certifications that are recognized by AFFA, ACE, AEA, NASM, and ACSM.
