"You do yoga in there?" This question came from a naturopath at Glow on Saturday. This question made me realize that there are a lot of people (including people I work with) that do not understand what I do. This got me thinking... maybe I should explain it. Duhr.
My clients learn to correct imbalances through Ayurveda and yoga. Whether they want to lose weight, clear skin, improve digestion or reduce stress, Ayurveda and yoga provide so many natural ways to make that happen. I am an Ayurvedic Health Coach and Hatha Yoga Teacher. Many people understand the yoga part and think that I teach group classes at a yoga studio. I do some of that at the Hatha Yoga Center in the summers, but mostly I work with individuals. Why individuals, you may ask? Often yoga classes can not address all the varying needs of all the different students including injuries, tightness and emotional issues that may come up. I work with people one-on-one and design our sessions based on their dosha, the season and what they need that day. I have a gorgeous room at Glow with a big window and enough space for us to meet and practice yoga.
Based on client needs, I design a 6 session package. This way we can see growth and change over time. Although plans vary from person to person, here is a typical 6 session package for Ayurvedic Health Coaching:

Based on client needs, I design a 6 session package. This way we can see growth and change over time. Although plans vary from person to person, here is a typical 6 session package for Ayurvedic Health Coaching:
First session: Dosha constitution assessment (that means we determine your unique mind/body type). We discuss simple lifestyle and nutrition tips that can make a big difference in digestion.
Second
session: We discuss an Ayurvedic seasonal routine, and I provided
recipes based on your dosha.
Third session:
Learn pranayama (breathing)
techniques and meditation for stress
reduction and weight loss.
Fourth
session: Practice
yoga and pranayama techniques together.
We discuss issues related to work and how to create life
balance. I also teach mantras for mental
focus.
Fifth session:
We practice more pranayama and yoga together.
Sixth session: To conclude the package, we celebrate successes. I lead a guided meditation for healing after yoga practice. At this point, we decide if more sessions are necessary to reach goals. Some clients see me on a weekly, bi-weekly or seasonal basis.
