Resistance Training

 

Use of cables, free weights, elastics, bodyweight exercises, TRX straps, BOSU, & balance tools.

 

 

Health and Weight Loss

​Unique to each individual's needs, I utilize the formats and techniques that the individual prefers, or is best suited for, in order to create habits that lead to positive health changes.

 

Olympic Weightlifting

 

Body changing exercises revolving around use of Clean, Jerk, & Snatch.  Foundational exercises are taught alongside resistance training and power assistance movements are taught to enhance the overall skill of the individual or technique pertaining to a functional activity

 

Yoga

Outside of the classroom Yoga may be taught alongside other training goals or stand alone for those to deepen their personal practice.  Versed in Vinyasa(movement/flow) and Hatha(longer holds, less transition) as well as several guided meditation techniques.  Personal practice design is available with 100% unique tailoring to the individual. Focus in my practice of Yoga is always on proper alignment, connection to breath, and unique physical concerns.

Corrective Exercise

 

Neuromuscular stretching, Chronic or Acute Injury Recovery, Functional rehabilitation, Active Release techniques, foam rolling techniques.  May be stand-alone or alongside other training practices.  

 

 

Flow Arts Instruction

Also known as “object manipulation.”  Learning how to move your body around an external object serves to enhance dancing, functional coordination, or other skill development.  My specialties are the Rope Dart and Meteor, with the ability to teach basic skills in Poi, staff, and sword.
