Samaneh Mojaveri (Sam) is a Persian Yogi & Cultural Nomad, certified E-RYT 500+ Yoga and Meditation Teacher, and the visionary founder of RUMInation. Coming from the Kriya Yoga lineage, her journey began at the Sivananda Ashram in Kerala, India, and deepened through years of dedicated study with her mentor, Manish Pole. For Samaneh, yoga is not merely a practice but a lifelong path — a way of embodying the essence of life itself.

A passionate advocate of art and culture, she sees yoga as a living form of poetry. Through RUMInation, she weaves together traditions using the vibrant languages of folk music, dance, and storytelling, creating spaces where cultures meet and converse. Her extensive travels across Iran and India have shaped her commitment to building bridges between civilizations and honoring the shared spirit of their artistic and spiritual heritage.

An accomplished art curator and organizer of some of Dubai’s most distinctive musical and wellness gatherings, Samaneh seamlessly merges spirituality, culture, and creativity. For over 4 years, she has led RUMInation, inspiring communities through her dedication to holistic living and the celebration of diverse cultural expressions.
