Custom Coaching

One-on-One Support

Ever wish you could spend extra time with a favorite instructor, making sure you're nailing your form, taking a certain movement or pose to the next level, or setting personalized wellness or nutrition goals? Custom Coaching at the Y is for you!

Work individually with a wellness coach who will create a plan to meet your specific wellness goals.

Before purchasing a Custom Coaching package, schedule a free Intake Appointment. This session will cover health history, goals and scheduling needs so that your coaching experience is the right fit for you. Each Custom Coaching session is 1 hour.

Meet Our Custom Coaches

Anders Kinavey Wennerstrom

Anders offers a compassionate and contemplative space for an individually tailored practice. Drawing on experience in yoga, co-active life and leadership coaching, and applied compassion practices, sessions can be more conversational or movement-based, depending on your needs. Whether you're navigating stress, building self-awareness, seeking a more embodied practice or looking for focus, we can integrate contemplative practices, yoga postures and coaching conversation to support your well-being. No experience or flexibility required—just a willingness to pause, notice, and be honest with yourself. 

Arielle Bertolone

Arielle has been teaching yoga since 2010. Over the years, her teaching has evolved from a power-focused practice to one that is focused on energetics, one’s internal world, and understanding the importance of the nervous system for a vibrant, embodied life. She encourages practitioners to approach their practice with compassionate curiosity, allowing each time one gets on their mat to be something unique. "I would love to help you find a balance of strength and softness in your own life. I personally have found these to be important components for a resilient body and mind. I can serve many populations and adapt routines to fit your needs, from exploring meditation to incorporating resistance training. Let's create a movement practice that is sustainable and dynamic for your unique body and nervous system."

Brant Rogers

Brant supports people who want to live with greater clarity, well-being and meaning. In coaching sessions, you’ll explore practical ways to meet your life with more presence—physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Your sessions may include mindful movement, gentle strength training, yoga, meditation or supportive conversation—depending on what you need most that day. With decades of experience in contemplative practice, teaching and working with people from many walks of life, Brant meets you where you are and helps you reconnect with your own strength, wellness, balance and purpose. Each session meets you exactly where you are. Brant’s role is to walk alongside you with steadiness and care, helping you reconnect with your own inner resources so you can live the life you most deeply want to live.
