Sami Lead Yoga Teacher and Social Media Manager

Sami is a highly experienced yoga teacher with an international background. He is committed to healing the mind through good actions, love and compassion. His only purpose is to spread the knowledge that it is possible to find genuine and lasting happiness by taming and training your own mind. His practice is known for being wise, focused and fun. He has explored different kinds of practices, searching for a lighter body and mind and dedicated his studies to Traditional Hatha, the alignment of Iyengar and the flow of Ashtanga Vinyasa. To settle his mind and find balance between the sun and moon, he dedicates his continued education to studying Yin Yoga, Qi Gong, Vipassana and Shamatha Meditation and Buddhist philosophy. He noticed that Yoga adapts itself according to the practitioner and social aspects. Translating this knowledge and making it available to our current time is wisdom. Our generation has different needs than the past generation. We are colourful, diverse, inclusive and accepting. Some of us notice that the world that we live in needs rest, silence and awareness. In order to heal ourselves, we need to heal our community, the environment and the society that we live in. Yoga is about that. The healing path is grounded on healing others. Sami is a free soul. Always on the road and experienced with different cultures, he has become a citizen with no borders. It is hard to say where he is really from. He was born in Brazil and carries that playful and enthusiastic joy. Also, his practices are noticeably a great influence of Arabic culture and wisdom, especially with their warm hospitality and generosity. All that combined with ancient wisdom, discipline and respect only found in Asia. Sami’s trainings were held in India, where he regularly returns to renew his knowledge and vows. His experience includes teaching in different countries, such as India, Egypt, Morocco, Malaysia and Brazil. He has a business background which can be helpful to ground our energy. Be prepared to laugh, work seriously, flourish your potential and find confidence in your vulnerability. His practice is a journey to the inside, healing yourself through healing the ones around you, whoever they are, whatever motivation they have, all beings matter in his practices. Qualifications:

Lou – Student Support Coordinator & Certified Yoga Teacher 

Hi I’m Lou! I’ve practised yoga for most of my adult life, after a chance encounter with it during a university class.
Some years later, I trained as a yoga teacher in India and began teaching in Brighton. Life then took me in a different direction, and I went on to start a sustainable fashion business, which became my main focus for a time.
Throughout it all, I’ve been deeply grateful for the grounding presence of yoga and the doorway it opened into spirituality. It has been a constant thread in my life—supporting me through change, challenging moments, motherhood, and the natural process of growing older. Yoga has helped me understand myself more deeply and return to what truly matters.
It’s now an honour to work as Jessica’s PA at Middle Path Movement—you’ll most likely hear from me if you get in touch via email
I truly believe in the work we do here at MPM: supporting transformation, building strength and confidence, and ultimately helping each of us return home to ourselves.
