Nina Samaco

Nina is a clinical psychologist, a yogi, and a former Philippine national athlete for the air rifle shooting and fencing teams. Upon retiring from competition she discovered yoga as an excellent way to retain her flexibility and strength while taking care of her injuries. And, as her yoga practice expanded she discovered the emotional and psychological benefits. In 2013, she began teaching yoga as a form of therapy while working with children. The results were positive and encouraged her to complete her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Yoga Tree in San Francisco. She is currently working on her 500-hour certification and has studied under Jason Bowman. Nina is a versatile teacher, who adapts her style depending on the needs and abilities of her students. She is comfortable working with seniors and athletes recovering from injuries. During her free time, Nina holds Run-Yoga classes along the beach.
