Sam Graham

Sam Graham began practicing yoga sometime between the New Wave and New Age eras, and has been teaching at a variety of Los Angeles area centers (including Silverlake Yoga, where he's been an instructor since the center opened in 1995) for longer than he'd care to remember. He specializes in beginners classes, but is experienced at teaching all levels. And while he takes his yoga very seriously, he also tries to inject some humor and irreverence into his classes, believing that students who are relaxed and enjoying themselves will get more out of their practice. Sam has also spent more than a quarter century as an author, journalist, speechwriter, and Emmy-nominated screenwriter. Aside from yoga, his true passion is music. A guitarist, singer, and songwriter, he has been leading a working jazz trio since 2002.
