Are you body aware?
When you first start an exercise program, it is important that you are self aware. Alignment, biomechanics, and functionality of your joints are vital when selecting the appropriate program for yourself. Starting an exercise program is an important element for having success in health and wellness however there is much to consider before implementing a plan to accomplish your health goals. Sometimes your body goals can become compromised when you misunderstand length tension relationships, joint spaces, and planes of motion while moving.

Nutrition and a healthy attitude towards food is what you need to have a truly content experience with a healthy lifestyle.

Doing Yoga and Pilates in a chair can help all people young and old, understand how they hold themselves while under tension. This session is one I practice with people who have several injuries or need simpler instruction in how to connect to their body, with out placing a tremendous amount of pressure on the joints and sensitive structures of the body. Does your mother or father need to workout but they cant because of pain, exhaustion, or an overwhelming sense of doom? This session is for them. : )
Anchoring, decompression breathing, and Integration are the principles of Foundation Training. Foundation training, is essential if you are experiencing back pain, compression, and muscular imbalance. Combine this practice with strength condtioning and endurance training, and watch your athleticism flourish. Not only will your ability to absorb force increase, but you will also create a much better relationship with breathing and expansion. This session is a must and if you work with me, you will always have elements of FT in your session. Posture is everything.
“The molecules that makeup cells and the cells that comprise tissues continually turn over; it is the maintenance of pattern integrity that we call ‘life’. The pattern is a manifestation of structure and structural stability results from the establishment of spatial relationships that bring individually destabilized structural elements into balance.”
-Donald Ingber, MD, PhD
Prioritze Recovery
Restorative yoga, meditation, and assisted stretch give your nervous system what it needs to recover from stress induced by workouts and life. Your athletic performance, can only be as strong as your recovery program. Recovering is a skill that like any other must be developed.
Healing is an Art: An insight to Recovery and Meditation
Healing is a delicate process, of introspection, regulation, and self-expression. What can you do to stay in your most awakened self? What kind of process do you need to create for yourself to stay in your best mental, physical, and emotional state? Healing happens when you learn to regulate and recover. Practice wholehearted self-discipline and self expression, this can be found by simply practicing breath. What is a healing art? A healing art is any and every art on earth. Invite yourself to participate in recovery, it is work to dedicate time to your recovery practice. Recovery is just as important, if not more important than productivity. The way you choose to recover is instinctive and is an art in and of itself. Your healing is a gift to the whole world but first it must start as a gift to you. "Those who mind,don't matter, those who matter don't mind."Be you.
ABOUT: Kasey E Ryan
Hello I am Kasey Ryan, I have been crafting my wellness career in NYC, since 2004 and feel blessed to have worked with many individuals, businesses and clinics. My inspiration to continue in the health/fitness industry is encouraged by witnessing and being part of a society that struggles with chronic physical/mental illness, disordered eating, addiction and lack of focus, (to name a few).
My credentials include and are not limited to, a BA in musical/ performing arts, (RYT) Certified Yoga Instructor (Vinyasa-Restorative-Pre/post Natal), Certified Pilates Instructor (PMA) (Mat-Apparatus ), Certified Nutrition Coach, Certified Personal Trainer (NASM) (corrective exercise-weight loss specialist-fitness nutrition specialist-virtual training specialist), Certified Steel Mace, Kettle bell, club bell and club bell vinyasa, Certified Meditation Coach (Radiance Sutras School), Ethics and Contemplation(Tibet house), Transcendental (Maharishi Institute) Certified Melt Method Instructor(hand and foot-Fascial Stretching) and Foundation Training.
Functionality and proper mechanics are what I value most when designing fitness programs for individuals. Chronic pain, is associated with poor diet, stress, dehydration, poor movement patterning and poor sleeping habits. Many of us struggle with pain and in ways we don't even realize until we start choosing healthier paths. All of us deserve to feel, look and be the best version of ourselves.
My MISSION: to motivate you to develop more self awareness, through practicing alternative health modalities, so you may focus on what truly matters in your life.
I value discipline, straight forward communication, and ACCOUNTABILITY.
That being said, if you choose to schedule an appointment with me, please understand I require 24 hours notice for changes and cancellation. Any appointment changed or cancelled in less than 24 hours will be charged in full.
