About this retreat
Bold Coast Yoga School is an RYS 200, and RYS 300, offering teacher trainings, classes and continuing education workshops, online and in Downeast Maine. Samantha Williams, E-RYT 500/YACEP is the lead trainer for both programs. Samantha studied vinyasa and restorative yoga extensively, and uses her background in movement science and biomechanics to emphasize safe and effective asana. In addition to focusing on physical alignment, the yamas, niyamas, and yoga sutras are incorporated into both programs, bringing yogic philosophy out of the books and onto the yoga mat.
Bold Coast Yoga School offers unique, modular 200 and 300 hour programs which allow students flexibility to study when it suits their schedule, with live group or individual Zoom meetings with Samantha for mentoring and support. BCYS currently has two self-study openings.
For those who wish to study in person, Downeast Maine offers unspoiled beauty, miles of stunning rocky coast line interspersed with sandy beaches. Samantha found this to be the ideal setting for establishing a yoga school, as the stunning natural setting provides the perfect backdrop to the transformation that occurs when an individual participates in a yoga teacher training program. Contact us for upcoming in-person dates.
