Samantha Williams, E-RYT 500 and owner of Bold Coast Yoga, will offer two yoga programs, a 200-hour yoga teacher training course and a Yoga for Self-Care Support program, beginning October 1 via Zoom and at Cobscook Institute in Trescott. The 200-hour training program, now in its sixth year, is for those who want to learn more about yoga, or want to become yoga teachers, while the Yoga for Self Care Support program is for those who want to start a regular yoga practice, or enrich their self care practices.

200 hour participants will be guided through a wide range of yoga-focused topics, including anatomy, alignment, teaching techniques and methodology, and yogic philosophy. This curriculum has been approved by Yoga Alliance, so those who complete the program will be able to register their certification with Yoga Alliance. Pre-registration for the teacher-training program is required by visiting www.boldcoastyoga.com or calling 207-214-6516.

New for 2022, Yoga for Self Care Support offers students an opportunity to delve deeper into yoga, with a flexible schedule, for their own personal knowledge. Students will discover how yoga practices can fit into their own lives, while also exploring how to create a supportive self care routine.

Ericka Marshall, graduate of the yoga teacher-training program said, “Sam is an incredible instructor. She creates a safe and welcoming environment in which students can feel safe to learn and ask questions…I have learned so much during this course that it has changed the way I think and act off the mat. She brought such an amazing opportunity to Washington county, a very rural area that needs more yoga!”

Samantha Williams, E-RYT 500, ACE-CPT, has completed over 2,000 hours of specialized yoga and wellness training, and will serve as lead trainer for both programs. Visit boldcoastyoga.com for more information, and to register.
