June 2026 Student of the Month Sam

Meet Sam

Hi! I’m Sam, and I moved to Vegas from Florida 10 years ago for a hospitality job. Since then, I’ve met my husband here, got married, and now we’re having our first baby this month! Vegas has been very good to me! 

When did you start taking classes with PYLV? I started around 21 weeks. Before I was pregnant, I took hot yoga and was struggling to find a studio where I knew the positions and exercises I was doing were pregnancy safe. I found PYLV online and loved it from the first class! Angela’s an awesome instructor, and has been great at modifying positions as I’ve progressed throughout my pregnancy. 

What have you learned since taking classes with PYLV? Angela always starts each class asking how we’re feeling and will incorporate poses and movements to help alleviate any challenges. I’ve learned even more about the importance of breath (that I’m hoping will kick in during labor) and pelvic floor health. 

What is your favorite yoga pose? Tree pose 

How has your practice impacted your parenting? N/A- I will say, as I’ve been going through my first pregnancy, I’ve had anxiety & stress, and taking PYLV each week has been a great outlet for me. It’s helped me stay centered and focus on my physical/mental health for both me & baby.  

What would you tell a new parent considering taking prenatal or baby & me yoga classes? Do it! It’s been an amazing addition to my pregnancy journey, and I look forward to future baby & me classes.
