Big Changes for Sama Yoga's Rebekah Jacobs

Sama Yoga’s Rebekah Jacobs Leaves
Bedford Post Job

New Canaan Yoga Studio Gains More Classes by Its Owner

NEW CANAAN, CT, September 27, 2018 — Sama
Yoga’s owner and director Rebekah Jacobs has just
announced that she will leave her other role as
director of The Yoga Loft at Bedford Post Inn, owned
by Richard Gere, at the end of the month, allowing her
to spend more time at Sama Yoga in New Canaan,
including teaching additional classes.

“After eight years as the director of the yoga
program at Bedford Post, and now three years doing
two full-time jobs, and raising a young family, it was

time to prioritize,” Rebekah said with a laugh. “I want to focus my time on my own
studio. I’m so proud of the work we are doing at Sama, it truly is a space for every body.
I believe yoga should be accessible to all, every body, age and ability, and that’s what
we are doing at Sama.”

Rebekah currently teaches at Sama Yoga on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays
at 9:30 and will be adding Fridays at 11 to her teaching schedule there. Good news for
her local followers.

“I’m thrilled to be spending more time at Sama now,” says Rebekah, “I can finally
take a breath myself! The studio is kind of like my baby, and in fact it was named for my
firstborn Sam - it has a very special place in my heart.”

While under her leadership, Richard Gere's Bedford Post Yoga Loft earned accolades as “Best Yoga Center Westchester,” and was featured on CNN and New York Magazine, and other local media.
