Bold Coast Yoga

Bold Coast Yoga Samantha, E-RYT 500 Offering 200-hour YTT, classes, and workshops to support optimal well being I've been practicing for 17 years and counting.

Offering 200 and 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training, workshops, and classes on the Bold Coast of Maine. My classes emphasize my philosophy: "Be kind and present in all you do." I believe that when we are fully present in our bodies, fully present in this very moment, that presence opens us up to the spiritual. I have also learned the importance of self-compassion, and emphasize ways to practice kindne

ss toward one's self. My background includes personal training and corrective exercise, which allow me to teach the asanas (physical poses of yoga) both creatively, and safely. My style is a mix of gentle-yet-challenging, alternating focus between the breath, our experience in the pose, and our alignment. I believe that yoga is for every body, it's just a matter of finding a style that suits you. I'm an E-RYT 500, and Bold Coast Yoga is a RYS 200 and 300, so completing our 200 or 300 hour training will allow you to register with Yoga Alliance. I'm also a Mom, and my daughters are among my favorite teachers, as is my fiance.

The most important element in Yoga & Mindfulness- and potentially in life.

What is the most important element in yoga and mindfulness?

Self compassion is a game changer for any new habit or movement practice. It’s not to say self-discipline and self-reflection don’t matter- they do- but having a solid foundation in self compassion helps us use self-discipline and self-reflection as tools to grow.

Ten years ago, I took a big leap of faith. I was a new mom, a yoga teacher and personal trainer, and I was about to announce that I was offering Washington County’s first Yoga Teacher Training.

The original idea was to train more people to teach yoga well, however, the program became so much more.

Over the past decade, I’ve had the honor of supporting dozens of students in growing their confidence, resilience, self-trust and ability to be present.

In that first class, I began assigning students the “homework” of starting a 5-minute home practice. They could practice longer of course, but setting the baseline as 5 minutes made it doable, even on busy days.

Those 5-minutes sessions remain in the program 10 years later, as students discover that just 5 minutes of yoga can:
- reduce stress in ways you can feel
- improve concentration and mental clarity for hours
- improve mobility & posture
- help practicing yoga become a habit

As I gear up for our next 200 hour training, (starting in October) I had an idea to share the magic of short practices with my community; I’ve been building a Mini-Class library & membership!

Inside the Mini-Class library, you’ll find bite-size yoga, mindfulness, breath work, and stress relieving movement practices that fit into your life at 5, 10, or 30 minutes long.

If a collection of short, nourishing classes sounds like something you'd love, let me know in the comments with MINI, or send me a message. I'd love to share more of the mini-class magic!

I am still learning this- self compassion has been an antidote to perfectionism for me and many of my clients. I highly recommend Kristin Neff Ph D.’s work in this realm. Have a great weekend, and be kind to yourself- you deserve to be treated with compassion too.

I needed this reminder today, maybe someone here does too. ❤️
