about us
We help people reconnect with themselves, each other, and their environment.
We want to live in a world where more people feel at home, in their bodies, in their communities, and in their purpose. Cafe Namaste is a place to reconnect: to what matters, to one another, and to the joy of being alive.
We offer inclusive, intentional wellness experiences that make yoga feel real, rooted, and reachable. Our vision is to become a trusted platform for soul-centered wellness around the world, starting here, in Miami.

from rooftop class to wellness lifestyle.
It's a way of life...
Cafe Namaste began in the summer of 2019 with a rooftop yoga, coffee, and brunch series in downtown Miami, designed for beginners and built around connection.
What started with a few mats, good coffee, and the desire to create something more meaningful has grown into a holistic wellness platform offering yoga classes, community events, lifestyle programming, and accessible education across South Florida.
We didn’t start with a studio. We started with a desire to connect. And we’re still here to help people feel more at home, with themselves, and each other.

Samantha Reynolds
Yoga educator. Community builder.
Samantha Reynolds is the heart behind Cafe Namaste—a yoga educator and global citizen with a deep respect for tradition and human connection. After living in the Czech Republic and Rwanda, her journey turned inward, leading her back to the U.S. and into the wisdom of yoga.
With a background in international development, higher education, and 500+ hours of yoga training, Sam blends global perspective with grounded, soulful presence. She created Cafe Namaste to help people, especially beginners, experience yoga as a way of living, not just something you do on your mat. Rooted in traditional teachings and lived experience, Sam brings humility, heart, and joy to every space she holds.
“I didn’t create Cafe Namaste for myself. I built it for people who were brand new to Yoga."
why cafe namaste?
Cafe cultures meets Yoga.
We chose this name with intention. Namaste means “I bow to you” in Sanskrit and it's a reminder to meet each other with presence, humility, and respect. You might hear it in Yoga classes, but it's also a respectful greeting in India.
We envisioned a space like a neighborhood cafe, not for noise or nightlife, but for connection. A place where the teachings of yoga, thoughtful conversation, and community could live side by side. Not just a practice, but a way of being, on and beyond the mat.
Namaste reminds us to lead with respect.
To see the goodness in each other.
And to honor the ancient roots of the practice we share.
