Private Yoga Instructors in Staten Island, NY

My approach to teaching yoga asana is through my understanding of anatomy and biomechanics, incorporating playfulness using various props to guide your body into its ideal alignment as we flow through a number of dynamic sequences. My passion and my mission is to transform my students into the best versions of themselves through the practice of yoga, helping them to live comfortably in their bodies. Each yoga sequence will be guided with safety and compassion as students explore the fun of yoga.

Hi, I'm Caroline Joseph. HEALTH COACHING IS MY PURPOSE. YOGA AND MOVEMENT ARE MY MEDICINE. I’m a triple certified holistic and integrative nutrition, health, and wellness coach and a certified yoga instructor living in beautifully chaotic New York City with my dog, Finn. Here are some of the things I realized through the process of healing myself holistically from an autoimmune condition and working with my clients: - Customization: There is no one-size-fits-all approach to eating, health conditions, and wellness. - Accountability: Sometimes we know what we should be doing, but we're just not doing it. (Work stress! Family priorities! Not enough hours in the day!) - Information Overload: There is so much information out there that can be overwhelming and conflicting it can be confusing knowing where to start or what's true. - Holistic Approach: Health is holistic and all-encompassing and includes so many different areas of our lives, including areas that may not be so obvious. - Overcome Obstacles: With work and daily life, stress can overshadow taking care of our health. - Sustained Change: Getting to the root cause of issues is the only way to create sustainable, long-term change. Quick fixes don't work. - Goal Setting: We all have different goals, but we all want to feel great in our bodies and get there in a way that’s empowering, exciting, and enjoyable. A Holistic and Integrative Nutrition, Health, and Wellness Coach is a guide who empowers you and provides ongoing support and guidance as you set goals and make sustainable changes that improve your health and happiness. We will create a plan that is specifically tailored to you and address your goals, which may include, but are not limited to: - Weight loss - Stress/anxiety management - Eating for a better mood - Sleep hygiene - Gut health/the microbiome - Chronic and autoimmune conditions - Health maintenance, optimization, and longevity Together we will: - Bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be - Decipher your body’s unique needs - Create a tailored plan that is enjoyable and easily integrated into your life - Set your personal goals and work towards sustainable change - Root cause of your issues, overcome obstacles, and modify as needed - Monitor progress and maintain accountability What you get: - Four 60-minute sessions per month - Communication between sessions - Resources and information geared toward your learning style such as articles, handouts, podcasts, recipes, videos, books, and more - Services specific to your needs, including but not limited to: - Pantry and fridge makeovers, grocery store tours, and helping you learn how to read food labels | Grocery lists, cooking demos, recipes - Understanding supplements - Going through menus prior to eating out - Meditation and relaxation techniques Yoga is a big impetus for change through creating mind-body awareness. So many of us allow the stress of our daily lives to consume us to the point that we ignore warning signs our bodies are telling us about our health, mental or physical, until an issue becomes a full blown problem. And too often we allow the conditioned mind to go unchecked and perpetuate unhealthy patterns that keep us stuck or not feeling our best. What we give our attention to is what grows and manifests. And often we’re not even aware of where our minds are time traveling to. It is only when we foster this self-awareness, coupled with desire, that true change and growth can happen in every aspect of our lives and our being - physical, mental, relational, emotional, spiritual, and environmental. My specialties in yoga include vinyasa flow and core work, yin and restorative yoga, breath work, and meditation. I include modifications for accessibility, props, relaxation techniques, and aromatherapy when appropriate. I work virtually and in person. IMPORTANT: I work in person all year round in Manhattan and Brooklyn ONLY. I also work in person between Southampton and Montauk ONLY between end of May through October. My only exception for working in person outside of the above areas is large group events within driving distance from Manhattan and I need at least three days notice. I do offer all of my services virtually. I would love to be able to work with anyone from anywhere in person, but unfortunately that’s not possible.
