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.

✨ Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or scattered? ✨

If your nervous system has been working overtime—and self-care keeps getting pushed aside—you’re not alone. I’ve worked with several clients and students this week who are overwhelmed, burnt out, and in need of a reset. I created something I’m excited to share that can help.

FREE LIVE SESSION:
🌿 The Grounded Reset: A 30-Minute Nervous System Reset
🗓 Saturday January 10, (Tomorrow)
🕧 12:30 PM (EST)
📍 Online -
Recording Available

This gentle session is designed for women over 40 who want to:
• Reduce stress without pushing harder
• Feel calmer and more centered in their body
• Support their nervous system naturally
• Practice self-care that actually fits real life

No yoga experience or flexibility required.

Just a quiet moment to reset and reconnect.

You’ll leave feeling more grounded, supported, and steady—physically and mentally.

I also learned if you joined the waitlist but did not “subscribe,” you won’t receive the emails for the challenge. Let me know if you’d like to br added to the Facebook group and I’ll post them there too.

Saturday's Session is live at 12 pm, with the replay available.

Now, here's today's challenge practice:

Linking Shoulders & Breath

This practice calms the nervous system, lowers stress hormones, and helps relieve tension you might be holding in your shoulders.

How to do it (1 minute total)
1. Sit or stand comfortably
Let your feet be on the floor. Soften your shoulders. Lengthen your spine just a bit—no forcing.

2. As you inhale slowly through your nose, raise your shoulders up toward your ears.

No forcing, you might think of allowing your shoulders to "float" up.

3. As you exhale slide your shoulder blades down your back.

You might imagine tucking your shoulder blades into your back pockets.

Repeat 3-5 times.

Why this works
Inhaling while gently raising the shoulders and exhaling while lowering them helps relieve stress because it works on the body before the mind has to catch up.

Here’s what’s happening:
Raising the shoulders on the inhale makes tension visible. Lowering them on the exhale teaches the body how to release it.

Every exhale is an invitation for the shoulders—and the nervous system—to soften.
