Samantha Ortiz is a trauma-informed yoga teacher from the Bronx, dedicated to creating spaces for healing and self-discovery. As a Latina and first-generation Puerto Rican, Samantha’s personal struggles with anxiety, a strong inner critic, and perfectionism led her to yoga and meditation as tools for transformation and resilience. Samantha specializes in offering loving-kindness meditation (Metta), a practice that fosters compassion, warmth, and goodwill toward oneself and others. As someone who has worked to embrace all parts of herself and build a more compassionate relationship within, she guides others in reconnecting with their inner light and sense of worth. With a focus on nervous system regulation and compassionate self-exploration, Samantha’s mission is to help individuals reconnect with their inner light and honor all parts of themselves.

I feel when I experience, and I also feel again when I remember, and when the experience was intense, the feelings of the memories of the experience are intense. Some feelings are pleasant, some disturbing. Finding perspective and clarilty allows me to move through life with relative calm. Thank you!

Thank you! On the outside, seen by others, my life is good. I'm a success. I have a family, a career, a home, and all I need. But inside, I'm still sometimes feeling eight years old, scared I'll be seen as not the man who thrives but the little boy, scared and unsafe. Change takes courage. Change takes time. Change takes honesty. Change begins today.

Right on time. I relate very strongly. Wanting to surrender to the unknown and unknowable but at the same time seeking answers, wisdom, direction. Waiting is hard. But, it seems, sometimes necessary.
