Samantha Grudzien

Samantha began practicing yoga the summer before her sophomore year of college as a suggestion from her mom who noted that she always seemed "grumpy". Later that year, Samantha would move back to Ann Arbor to take her first vinyasa class at TBY and instantly recognized the emphasis TBY placed on correct body alignment. She completed 200-hr YTT in the Winter of 2018 as a way to deepen and understand her own practice and body. Through years of practice and renewed self-love, Samantha aims to help students receive the same love and acceptance yoga brought to her. As a student herself studying to complete her PhD in Neuroscience at UMICH, student's can expect an educational and self-focused practice designed to give students an understanding of the foundations so that they have the capability to explore their own practices safely.

Fun fact - Samantha is a triplet and has a little brother.
