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.

Yoga, Use Of Props At Any Age

I wanted to share some inspiring words accompanied by an instructive image as a New Year approaches  

The message, based on experience, is that a gentle, safe form of yoga can be done with the use of props at any, all ages by males and females 

I received Coralie Nideur's written comments on September 9, 2014 - at the time she was a 73 yr. old yoga student i had the pleasure of instructing

Coralie's words are reproduced below:

"You are never to old to begin an exercise program. I decided to try yoga with Bob a year ago.

My goal was to maintain flexibility and balance as I love to garden and want to remain active.

We begin each session with an evaluation of how i am feeling  and if i have any pain ( I have Osteoarthritis). Bob then modifies the yoga exercises depending on what the issues of the day are. 

He might use a chair, couch, blocks, rolled blanket or strap. I get the benefit of a full stretch without the fear of any injury.

Props Bob Uses With Clients
May Incude
Chair, Blocks, Strap, Elastic Bands
 Blanket, Roller, Tennis Ball
Dumbbells, Mat, Knee Pads

It has been a wonderful productive year and i feel fit and flexible. I would recommend Bob to all my friends and all seniors." 

As 2015 approaches, i continue to meet with Coralie and her friend Barbara - focusing on their interests, we continue to have fun while enhancing our mobility, maintaining our health

Coralie and Barbara - both in their 70's - have become stronger, enjoy greater balance, are more flexible and know ways to calm their minds, focus on their breathing

Yoga As A Lifestyle Choice

Bob Crowther has enjoyed 1000 yoga classes as he starts his 50th month of yoga activities. 

My evening yoga class today was the 1000th session i have attended since my first class - less than two days before my 50th month begins.

As i approach 64, i continue to experience the many physical, mental health benefits from my hatha yoga practice. 

My experiences can be yours as well. 

I encourage males and females of all ages to take the first steps to become more mobile doing a gentle, non-impact and safe form of yoga.

Health, pain symptoms including various medical conditions (heart attack, diabetes, arthritis, obesity, others) can be addressed through yoga.

Enhance your strength, balance, flexibility, breathing and calm your mind.
