Exploring Life & Business with Samantha Simpson of Samantha Simpson Coaching

Today we’d like to introduce you to Samantha Simpson. They and their team shared their story with us below:

Samantha Simpson, a posture & yoga coach, and speaker located in Indianapolis, teaches you how to hold your body in a new way that promotes physical healing, emotional resilience, confidence in your body, boundless energy, and social brilliance. She is a devoted practitioner and teacher of Bowspring yoga focused on empowering women, athletes, adults, and teens.

A long-time practitioner and teacher of modern postural yoga, Samantha discovered the revolutionary Bowspring posture and movement system in 2017 and has since devoted her life to learning and sharing her passion for this healing modality. She combines experience from her extensive training in behavior therapy with natural healing, meditation, and breathwork modalities to inform her work as a holistic body and mindset coach.

Her journey has led her to heal from chronic depression and anxiety, ADHD, IBS, and pelvic floor dysfunction and it is her mission to share this information with others.

Samantha is a devoted U2 fan and has been known to queue for three days for a coveted front-row spot at a concert.

She has traveled as far as Paris to see them in the front row. Once, Bono even handed her his harmonica!

Samantha also enjoys cultural events in her city and she is passionate about live theatre.

She loves challenging herself with new athletic activities in the Bowspring posture such as acrobatics, ice skating, slackline walking, and dancing.

She hopes to one day try surfing; although she has never surfed, she knows she will be able to hang 10 on her first try with the power of the Bowspring balance in her toolbox.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?

We’ve been impressed with Samantha Simpson Coaching, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
As a posture and yoga coach, Samantha Simpson uses a modality known as the Bowspring Postural Method. Introduced to the Bowspring in 2017, she researched the new practice and was intrigued by what she learned. She implemented the posture into her daily activities and experienced life-changing results immediately. Now she devotes herself to teaching the Bowspring practice so that others may reap the positive benefits to the mind, body, and soul.

So, What Is Bowspring? “The Bowspring Method is based on a curvy, dynamic, and open posture that aligns the body in a position of readiness. The alignment allows us to move with lightness and fluid power like a graceful animal. The postural template of The Bowspring can be applied to any yoga pose, or functional or athletic movement for optimal performance and can help relieve pain associated with patterns of misalignment. The Bowspring alignment is accessible to people of all ages worldwide and can be applied to all daily activities such as walking, sitting, and standing. Bowspring classes are now taught in cities in North America, Europe, and the Far East. The system was founded by Desi Springer.”

Samantha first learned about Bowspring from an Airbnb guest that knew her as a yoga teacher. Her guest suggested that she tilt her pelvis forward in her practice, instead of tucking her tailbone. Considering that all of her previous yoga teachers, physical therapists, and proponents of the old postural method insisted that you tuck your tailbone or keep your pelvis in a neutral position, she felt reluctant about this new posture.

Out of curiosity, Samantha looked up the Bowspring method and learned it was a new and innovative practice originating in Denver. After she researched the new practice, she felt compelled enough by her findings to experiment with the new posture.

The next day at her nine-to-five job, she spent her time walking around with an anterior pelvic tilt. At the end of a typical day, Samantha felt heaviness and fatigue in her pelvic floor, as well as abdominal pain & disturbance, and lower back pain.

To her surprise, at the end of the day experimenting with this posture, she felt a lightness and relief in her legs, hips, lower back, and all the way down to the heels of her feet, a sensation she had never felt before.

It was at that moment that she knew this posture was the real thing and was eager to study the practice even more.

Learning & Transitioning to the Bowspring. Immediately, Samantha dove into studying the Bowspring practice.

Within a few weeks, she realized she no longer felt it ethical to continue teaching modern postural yoga and resigned from all her yoga teaching jobs, with the exception of one she believed would be receptive and open to this new practice. After about a year of transitioning from yoga to the Bowspring method, she now exclusively teaches Bowspring and is the only teacher in the state of Indiana.

At the time when Samantha was learning the Bowspring, there were no other teachers near her area, so she practiced remotely with instructors in Denver, California, and Canada. On her Bowspring journey, she traveled to Denver, Austin, and Chicago to study Bowspring with the source and founders John Friend and Desi Springer. Currently, she continues working with her instructors and participates in weekly virtual group classes

Bowspring and Its’ Positive Physical & Mental Impact. Samantha practices the Bowspring for the same reasons she was practicing yoga; to experience peace through mindful body movement and exercise. She prefers Bowspring over yoga because she feels her body opening up and healing; her posterior chain is stronger (glutes, hamstrings, trapezius), and she no longer succumbs to hyper-mobility with the Bowspring method. The practice has changed Samantha by making her more socially adept, and a better communicator, and she feels more confident in herself, everything she does, and everywhere she goes; feelings she lacked when practicing modern postural yoga.

The versatility of Bowspring is astounding; it can be applied to any activity you partake in, whether it be athletic or sitting at a desk. Bowspring makes every movement more functional.
