Meet Quamay “i3” Sams

Yoga Educator • Movement Artist

Quamay Sams, E-RYT 500, teaches strength-based yoga built on isometrics and end-range control. He is over a decade into teaching and a student of Jason Crandell, and in that time he has managed studios, led teacher trainings across the country, and taught retreats and intensives internationally, most recently on the Portuguese coast. His teaching lives at the intersection of biomechanics and traditional practice: isometric strength, end-range control, and the nervous system patterns that decide how much of your body you actually have access to.

Hypermobility made depth easy for him, and for most of a decade he chased it the way yoga culture told him to, until he stretched his way into SI joint instability while teaching full time. Getting out of it took a different kind of programming inside the same practice, and that rebuild became the i3 Yoga System.

He teaches from the belief that a student who understands the mechanism corrects themselves. Every cue has a reason behind it, the kind of teaching that keeps making sense in your body long after class ends.

His goal is to hand the dedicated student the anatomical education that usually only reaches teachers — the practitioner who wants to understand their own body without enrolling in a teacher training to do it, and who plans to keep practicing for decades.
