What to Expect From Private Yoga Training

While group classes are an effective way of practicing yoga, yoga is a personal practice. Students looking for personal guidance can supplement their yoga classes with private instruction.

Why Choose a Private Session:

• You are a new student (especially if classes seem overwhelming or intimidating)
• When yoga practice has reached a plateau
• An injury, a disability or illness recovery
• Encountering the same blocks or problems
• Starting a home yoga practice
• Reducing daily stress

What to Expect
In a private training session, yoga is applied uniquely to each person. Sessions allow students of all levels to explore specific areas of interest such as alignment in asanas, meditation, philosophy, etc. Generally some time is spent in discussion, isolating structural issues, assessing abilities, improving the body's form and technique, working on breathing exercises, enhancing relaxation/meditation methods, and learning how to listen to the body's signals.

Yoga postures and breathing exercises are selectively chosen and developed based on an individual's specific needs, goals, and preferences. Clients learn and practice these techniques at their own pace and within their own limitations. Attentively guided by verbal instruction, imagery, demonstration, and hands-on direction, the students can enhance their yoga practice in a way that is not necessarily attainable in group classes.
