INSTRUCTORS

Samantha Briatico has dedicated her life to the journey of self-awakening. She left her home in the USA with a spirit of adventure to travel the world and revel in new experiences. She settled in Perth, Australia and deepened her yogic studies delving into asana, pranayama and meditation and is now registered at the 500-hour level. She has studied Ashtanga Yoga in India, and her current practice is a beautiful integration of movement practices, yoga asana and lived mindfulness. Sam is passionate about women finding ways to move and breathe, and her own journey has led her to find depths of strength and resilience that inspires her students. She is the Founder of Zara and Co., an online community to help families who have experienced loss and stillbirth, and recently began her doula journey. Samantha teaches in Australia, Europe and Asia and is a proud mother to young Noah who has accompanied her on her travels throughout the world. Motherhood has been her biggest teacher. Sam delivers Mindful Birth in Australia and Asia, is a yoga teacher mentor and continues to learn innovative approaches to support women throughout the cycles of life – including through ecstatic dance to help women connect with their inner knowing and wisdom. She is also the Founder of Birthing in New Earth.
