My focus as a yoga instructor is to safely, gently introduce you to whole body movements within your abilities with an understanding of your short and long term goals.

Lack of yoga experience or other physical activities does not have to a barrier to begin moving your entire body. 


My Client Assessment 

One significant service i offer males and females of all ages is an evaluation of their heath symptoms that may include a number of medical conditions for some individuals [heart attack, diabetes, weight and balance issues].

These health symptoms often indicate how you feel at any time during each day -  they reflect on what current strength, balance, flexibility, breathing or other issues you may be experiencing. 

To address your needs, to focus on your issues I ask you to share personal information. 

Written and verbal responses to questions about past and current health issues are discussed.

Inquiries about a client's health symptoms, history discloses:
  • medications used possibly for high blood pressure, cholesterol and arthritis, other conditions
  • physician advised restrictions for specific medical reasons
  • body pain (acute, chronic), various trauma or injuries, surgical procedures  
  • past, recent incidents restricting physical activities
These confidential discussions are essential to inform how best to address the identified short and long terms goals through my customized one-on-one or small group instruction at your home, in my yoga studio or elsewhere.

A major component of your assessment involves a whole body evaluation - identifying the current limits of movement for different parts of your body, determining regional flexibility and possibly balance, breathing issues.

I provide each client with a written assessment along with other documents - your evaluation serves as a basis to asses the progress you will experience as a consequence of our interactions.

The frequency, duration of your yoga sessions is based on your interests, availability.

From A Female Client Testimonial


"At the time I met Bob I was at an unhealthy weight, had incurred a myocardial infarction at the age of 56 and was diagnosed with type II Diabetes.

Through Bob's consistent, positive feedback and encouragement, he retrained my attitude while i retrained my body!!

I am now stronger, flexible, better balanced and most importantly able to keep up with my two young grandsons.

Bob is an outstanding master of his craft; incredibly bright with a treasure trove of health and fitness knowledge."

The progress made with this person can be yours.
