Offerings

All sessions offered, with the exception of Community Classes, are customized to the client/client’s needs and goals. During your Consult Session we discuss exactly what you’re looking for and how best to achieve it. Sessions can center around any one of the offerings described below, or any combination thereof. 

For group sessions, including larger corporate bookings, no Consult Session is required; a simple summation of the group focus will suffice. Whether it’s a fun and positive gathering of friends, coworkers coming together to combat the physical and mental stressors of their job, chair yoga and breathwork for seniors - or anything in between - the ideal experience is only a request away.

Yoga Asana

Yoga consists of eight limbs, or vital aspects. In western cultures, Asana (physical postures) is by far the most recognized and practiced of these. Cultivating a regular Asana practice can help to 

  • Improve balance, strength, and flexibility

  • Manage and ease chronic pain

  • Increase heart and respiratory health

  • Promote relaxation in the mind and body

  • Improve quality of sleep

  • Manage stress

  • Increase physical and mental energy, boosting alertness and enthusiasm

  • Promote better self.care and cultivating deep.seeded self awareness and love

Breathwork & Meditation

Breathwork, or Pranayama, and Meditation are two more of the eight limbs of yogic practice. Breathwork utilizes various techniques to control and connect with your breath. Cultivating a consistent pranayama practice has numerous health benefits, including:

  • Stress relief

  • Improved cardiovascular health

  • Increased respiratory function and capacity

  • Profound embodiment

  • Enhanced cognition

Meditation may be guided or free flowing; be focused or maintain the simple, yet lofty, pursuit of relaxing the mind. Regardless which of the many versions of Meditation work best for or call to you, regular Meditation can help to:

  • Improve sleep

  • Reduce stress

  • Manage anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and withdrawal

  • Assist in overcoming poor habits and cyclical thinking

  • Connect you more deeply with yourself

Mobility Training

Mobility Training focuses on maintaining and improving range of motion and ease of movement.

Whether you’re an athlete looking to improve recovery time and performance or someone looking to reduce chronic pain and improve your ability to perform daily activities - mobility practices are vital to reaching your goals, reducing risk of injury, and improving blood flow. 

Other benefits of mobility training include:

  • Joint health/movement without pain or stiffness

  • Improved balance and stability

  • Better control of body and movement

  • Less fatigue 

  • Reduced muscle tightness

Stretching & Flexibility

Holistic Lifestyle Coaching incorporates any and all of the Offerings detailed on this page as well as sessions that focus on supporting you through the mental, emotional, and more mundane aspects of your pursuit of Optimal Living. 

Nutrition Philosophy & Cooking Classes

What we eat plays a tremendous role in how we feel. 

As with all of our lifestyle choices, what and how we choose to eat is a very personal decision. There are, however, foundational facts regarding nutrition that we can all use to guide our choices as we pursue healthier lives and bodies. Increasing water intake, incorporating more fruits and vegetables, and foregoing processed foods in exchange for Whole Foods are prime examples. 

Knowing what and how to cook can be a challenge in a culture so heavily reliant on take-out and boxed goods. Cooking classes that incorporate basic nutrition philosophy and meal prepping can help support and inspire you as you discover what works best for you, your body, and your palette. 

All Cooking Classes are available as online sessions only, with the exception of long-standing clients who have purchased packages or group bookings.
