Lakshmi Dasaka blends global corporate strategy, consulting, and entrepreneurship with a lifelong passion for mindful wellness. An Army BRAT, she grew up moving across India—learning to adapt with ease and lead with empathy. In her 30s, she saw a gap: fitness spaces for this stage of life rarely balanced strength with calm. That vision became SAMA—a science-backed, community studio where movement, breathwork, and meditation help members live better and age gracefully. For Lakshmi, wellness isn’t just physical—it’s about showing up for yourself, every day.
