WHY NOT OFFER (1) HOUR SESSIONS?
It's Time-Efficient. The model uses the bare essentials needed to help the client move toward measurable results within the time frame.
It's Value-Based. Short sessions can make movement more affordable and reduce barriers to entry. Furthermore, a 30-minutes or less approach produces multiple visits with a coach, providing the consistency it takes to ensure lasting results.

ARE 20-Min., 30-MIN., or 45-minute SESSIONS EFFECTIVE TO MEET MY GOALS?
Yes! Although many people are worried that about if the time will be enough, they are later convinced that their time and effort is maximized to produce results.
- Effective, short sessions on a consistent basis, can prove the same or better benefits as longer sessions by creating.a more focused experience for the highest quality output (result from effort). Furthermore, it minimizes the risk of something getting in the way of longer sessions.
- Sessions can fit in the busiest of lifestyles. More and more people are working from home on projects with the stress of deadlines and obligations around-the-the clock. There's also the constant influx of emails and notifications of posts and tweets from friends, family and co-workers. Pushing wellness activities and self-care to the bottom of the priority list becomes more probable and far too easy, especially when the thought if working out or fitting it in your schedule feels like climbing a mountain.

HEALTH COACHING
What is The role of a health & wellness coach & Typical cost?
Consider the Health Coach your generalist for healthy living.
Health coaches work with people who want to lose weight, get or stay physically fit, or or manage health conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol and more. They may also partner with physicians to help implement prescribed lifestyle changes. In addition to working on the physical component of your wellness, health coaches also partner with you to help you improve your emotional well-being, reduce stress, and make positive, lasting changes in your diet and lifestyle. Instead of struggling to take on physically and emotionally challenging changes by yourself, you can work one-on-one with a professional to create a tailored plan that will help you set and meet your goals. Holistic coaching can bring together a variety of elements such as self-care, healthy eating, physical fitness and stress reduction to help identify a strategic and safe plan of action for postive results.
A health coach provides overall coaching in multiple areas; whereas a trainer drills down in to the specifics of physical fitness and a nutritionist provides personalized guidance for meal planning, weight management and healthy eating. Unless a health coach holds specific education or certification(s) or licensure, they do not develop specific exercise programs or prescribe diets. This is especially relevant if you're looking for guidance for a health condition (like diabetes or high blood pressure) or an injury.
The cost depends on the extent of goals and the coach's background, credentials and approach. Prices per hour can range anywhere from an average of $45 per hour to over $200 per hour, with the variance reflecting factors such as location and the coach's education and training. Online programs and group coaching session can often be more economical than in-person private coaching. Since coaching is an ongoing relationship, not a one-time service, most coaches offer 3-month, 6-month or monthly program plans that feature cost reductions based on package duration.

what is the difference between a certified health education specialist and a certified health coach?
A Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) has met required academic preparation qualifications and successfully passed a competency-based examination administered by the National Commission for Health Education Creditialing, Inc., which is also accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). He/She must hold a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree in health education or a baccalaureate degree or higher with specific coursework in the field. Credentialed CHES (Patient Health Educators) are recognized health care providers. CHES possess skills that promote working in interdisciplinary teams, care coordination, quality improvement, community engagement, community needs assessments, and health coaching. Patient health education is a long-standing regulated and recognized health care specialty. Health educators teach people about behaviors that promote wellness. They develop and implement strategies to improve the health of individuals and communities. Patient Health Educators work closely with physicians to support individuals in reaching their health goals, providing individual guidance for concerns such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, weight management, nicotine addiction, stress management and more.
A Certified Health Coach empowers clients to adopt and sustain healthy lifestyle behaviors that prevent, mitigate and even reverse chronic diseases. A health coach can assess overall wellness, educate, motivate and provide guidance to help you uncover why you are struggling and discover what works best for you to implement manageable and lasting changes - whether your goal is to lose weight, manage stress, increase energy, improve your diet, or some other health and wellness goal(s). A Certified Health Coach has met the education preparation qualifications and successfully passed a competency-based examination. Higher education degree requirements and certifications vary depending on the certifying agency. The gold standard are programs accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) or a training program approved by the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC). The NCCA validates that a program meets the same standards for reliability, validity, and evaluation of those qualified to practice in a given profession as the certifications for nurse practitioners, occupational therapist, registered dietitians and physician assistants.
The American Medical Association (AMA) defines "Health and Well-being coaching" as a patient-centered approach wherein patients determine their goals, use self-discovery or active learning processes together with content education to work toward their goals, and self-monitor behaviors to increase accountability, all within the context of an interpersonal relationship with a coach. The coach is defined as a non-physican healthcare professional certified by either the (NCCA) approved National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (CHES). or the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC).

what is a biometric screening and why is it important?
The Biometric Screening provides information about your risk for certain diseases and medical conditions. Knowing your numbers is an important step to health because it helps you understand where you can take action to improve your health.

What can you expect DURING A DISCOVERY CALL/ INTRO COACHING SESSION?
The first coaching session typically occurs after a introductory call where briefly discuss your goals and how you see your future.

We'll discuss how a coach and client work together, how often to meet, and how to move forward towards your success.
What happens after the first session?
Each subsequent session will focus on how you want to move forward with your goals. The coach will ask questions to help you formulate ideas that work for you and play to your strengths for goal accomplishment.. You'll start creating an action plan with specific steps, and your coach will provide evidence-based guidance and resources, in addition to support to help you monitor your progress.
What kind of goals do i need to set?

What Yoga Props Might i need during class?
The recommended yoga props will be listed in each class description. Below, you’ll find a short explanation of each prop, along with an at-home substitute.
Yoga blocks: These are used for balance and support; if, for example, your hands can’t reach the floor in a particular pose, you can place them on the block instead. If you don’t have a yoga block, a stack of hardcover books make a good substitute!
Yoga straps: These are used to deepen your practice, helping you stretch and settle into poses that would otherwise be out of reach. Straps are particularly helpful for yogis with tight hamstrings and shoulders. If you don’t have a yoga strap, a belt or sturdy scarf will do!
Yoga bolster: This pillow-like prop provides extra cushioning to make restorative poses more comfortable — especially when you’re holding them for a while. If you don’t have a yoga bolster, try using a small pillow.
Yoga blanket: This is great to have on hand to cushion your knees or wrists, taking pressure off those joints and preventing discomfort. We also love to use a yoga blanket to keep us warm during savasana at the end of class. (No yoga blanket? No problem. Any blanket works!)

how should i properly hydrate to prepare for class?
Even though you won’t be practicing hot yoga at home, it’s important to hydrate before, during, and after class. Even a lower-intensity flow might make you sweat! We recommend drinking at least 20 ounces of water 2-3 hours before class (for reference, the average plastic water bottle holds 16 ounces). During class, feel free to take water breaks whenever you feel thirsty. And after class — drink up! You need to replace the fluids you lost by sweating.
i'm recoverying from an injury. Is it safe for me to take your classes?
Yoga can be very beneficial for people looking to regain muscle and flexibility following inactivity. However, yoga can sometimes make injuries worse. If you’re recovering from an injury, it is recommended that you speak with your doctor before participating in a yoga class.
i am new to yoga in general, where do i start?
First of all — welcome! I'm so glad you’ve joined our community. If you’re feeling energized and want to build strength, I encourage you to check out a power flow class. Recovery yin is a great option if you’re looking for a gentle practice to relax and breathe. If you’re new to yoga, I recommend starting with a Beginner / Level 1 class — perhaps one that’s shorter in duration. And in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

A program provider or host organization can also partially or fully subsidize the cost to the participants through scholarships and sliding fee scales. The CDC has estimated the average cost of program delivery to be about $450 per participant annually, however the cost to participants will reflect the above factors.

WHAT IS THE PREVENT T2 CuRRICULUM?
The National DPP lifestyle change program is based on a 2002 research trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine that showed a 58% reduced incidence of type 2 diabetes in participants who went through a structured lifestyle intervention compared to those who received placebo treatment at an average follow-up of three years. Since this study, the program has been successfully translated into a variety of settings and patient populations and been adapted to be delivered through digital and distance learning modalities.
The PreventT2 curriculum, launched in March 2016, is based on the original 2002 Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) trial and follow-up studies for the prevention of type 2 diabetes (T2). This curriculum still promotes modest weight loss (5%-7% of current weight if overweight or obese) and increased physical activity through a 12-month lifestyle change program. The curriculum also reflects new literature on self-efficacy, physical activity, and diet.
