C.Shaw Lathrop Health Consulting

Introduction: Private instruction is useful for developing a home practice and for learning to adapt group class postures to serve your individual needs. It is especially beneficial for individuals who want to practice yoga at home or those who have special health concerns or injuries. Each lesson is tailored to your unique interests and needs. Our private clients typically have one of three 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, strategizing how to make your practice consistent, and a written practice plan. Shaw will guide 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. * Personalized Yoga Coaching Group class students frequently benefit from personalized 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 Needs Instruction Some individuals have needs that are not met by group classes. Shaw works one on one with students who have a variety of needs. Examples of past client issues include: • Stress management • Sports training • Managing menopausal symptoms • Arthritis and other acute and chronic physical injuries About Shaw: Shaw Lathrop is a certified yoga instructor who has been practicing and teaching yoga for the past ten years.
