Private Yoga & Nutrition Consultations

Private Yoga

Private instruction is useful in developing a home practice and in learning to adapt group class postures to serve your individual needs. Working privately affords you as the explorer the opportunity to go deeper into your practice at your own pace.

Common goals of private instruction

Private clients typically have one of 3 goals:

Home Practice Development: Students frequently want to practice yoga more often than they can come to group classes. Practicing at home is a useful and cost effective supplement to group classes at the studio. A home practice consultation includes evaluation of your personal goals, strategising how to make your practice consistent, and a written practice plan. Casey guides you through the practice once so you leave familiar with how to practice on your own safely and effectively. Home practice consultations are most effective when done in conjunction with group yoga classes.

Personalised Yoga Coaching: Group class students frequently benefit from personalised help to deepen their yoga practice. Coaching sessions include feedback on how to properly perform yoga postures and adaptations for the client’s individual goals and body. Students who have attended coaching sessions report that the sessions help them make huge strides in improving their yoga practice.

Special Health Concerns or Injuries: Some individuals have needs that are not met by group classes. Casey works one on one with students who have a variety of needs. Examples of past client issues include: stress management, sports training, managing pre-menstrual symptoms, arthritis, and cancer recovery. Casey also works with individuals with neck, back, and other acute and chronic physical injuries.

Special needs instruction is best when done in a series of at least 4 sessions. Many students have a workable plan after 4 sessions. Others prefer to continue working one on one with us indefinitely.

Nutrition & Dietetic Consultations

There are many diets offered to the public as “the answer” to individual problems, but these diets ignore the fact that we are all different and have very unique physiology and lifestyles.

The raw food approach, traditional calorie counting, the blood type diet, low carbohydrate high protein, veganism… these different approaches work wonders for some but leave others wondering where they failed. Or they may work intially but then lose their effectiveness or even become harmful if continued.

As a nutritionist and holistic dietitian, my objective is to help you reach your health goals by offering a personalised  approach to wellness which incorporates intuitive eating, natural foods and joyous lifestyle changes. 

I will work together with you to develop daily improvements that you can feel comfortable with and that are realistic.  I believe that the focus on wholesome, nutrient-rich, real foods is the best possible way to become healthier, have more energy, decrease your risk of chronic diseases, and feel your best. 

My specialties include weight loss, detoxification, natural energy enhancement, vegetarian/vegan nutrition, optimising digestion, chronic disease prevention and reversal, and healthy weight management.

A Green Smoothie Nutrition & Dietetic consultation will teach you how to develop a way of eating that is individualised to your specific needs, rather than trying to fit you into a general prescribed diet. Ours is a multi-dimensional nutrition approach that caters for all needs, life stages, and capacities for positive change.

Private consultations help you to determine the approach that will work best for you and suit your lifestyle. Depending on your needs, you will:

  • set achievable goals
  • learn to truly listen to your body
  • learn to be selective about sources of nutrition information
  • understand intuitive eating
  • receive valuable education on food, nutrition, & cooking
  • understand & reduce your cravings
  • obtain digestive health
  • reduce your toxic load
  • increase energy
  • reduce stress
  • manage your weight
  • improve your relationships, career, & physical activity
  • create a lifestyle change for yourself that lasts forever!

 

All of this will be done with your specific body-type and lifestyle in mind. Do you love snacking? Ok. Do you want to cook delicious food that the whole family will eat? Done. Are you keen to deeply cleanse your body using juices, natural or raw food? We’ll show you how. Are you busy and eat on-the-go more times than not? We’ll make it work for you.
