Personal Coaching with Bob Speck

Bob has been helping people grow and realize their full potential for over 40 years. Using a down-to-earth practical style of communication and a wisdom that comes with many experiences (and age), Bob has recently been offering one-on-one personal coaching to a limited number of Heart of the Village Studio members. Seeing the unique potential in each student, Bob’s work is student-driven to empower and inspire each student to realize their goals in life! Whether a student's intentions are to find peace of mind or enduring happiness, to increase strength or flexibility, or to build personal power or resilience, Bob helps guide and support each student along their way.

Heart of the Village Yoga Teaching - If your goals are to develop yoga practices which are relevant to you and your current life situation, Bob will help you develop your practice. Bob can draw upon his expertise in Power Yoga, Vinyasa Flow Yoga, Restorative Yin Yoga, Aerial “Anti-Gravity” Yoga, Adaptive and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, Yoga Nidra, or Bhakti Yoga. Lessons often begin with breathing exercises and mindfulness-based practices to focus attention on what’s important in the here and now, and evolve to physical practices which are designed for each student’s unique body.

Bringing Heart to Life Coaching - If your goals are to reduce stress and struggles and find a more lasting happiness and peace of mind, Bob will draw upon various teachings from ancient Eastern and Indigenous cultures in ways that will help bring these teachings to life. Often times, our struggles in life can be shifted by how we see things - our perspective or point of view. Bob will guide you through a Four Perspective approach to help you find your way and stay on course.

Functional Strength Training - If your goals are to have specialized training programs designed for your body, Bob will utilize his background in personal training, functional strength training, pain-free performance, and sports coaching to develop exercises just for you. Whether your intentions are to be more lean, to move with more ease, to be stronger, or to perform better, Bob will coach you through body-weight and functional-strength-building routines, weight-training methods, and day-to-day training programs, all of which are designed to progress over time.

This class has similarities to a traditional on-the-mat power flow yoga class, except swings are used to provide support and allow further exploration of traditional yoga poses, in addition to strength-building exercises. Suspended swings and accompanying straps are used to provide support for traditional postures, most often with feet on-the-ground, as well as to provide support for inversions, full-body stretches, and partially- or fully- suspended bodyweight exercises. A video of this class will be available for viewing for 1 day after class. This class is intended for experienced participants who have practiced power aerial yoga before, preferably at HOTV Yoga, and have their own safely-supported aerial equipment. Participants agree to support swings no higher than hip height from a structurally-sound support, and use at their own risk. The surface below the swing should be level and have adequate traction for standing postures, and cleanliness for lying-down postures. Hand weights such as kettlebells or dumbbells may be used as an option for experienced practitioners.
