Private instruction is a remarkably effective and efficient paradigm for learning yoga.

The idea of a "yoga class" is relatively new. Traditionally Yoga was taught one on one or in small groups and tailored to the specific needs and proficiency of each student.
 
In a private session we individually address proper alignment, breathing techniques and the full range of biomechanical injuries and limitations. Private lessons are for all levels of students from the complete beginner to advanced students and yoga teachers. Ongoing private lessons are designed to continually deepen and refine the students practice.
 
You can also create your own group – Celebrate a Birthday, Anniversary, Bachelor or Bachelorette party, or any other occasion for a one time group lesson or gather a small group of friends to meet regularly.

5 Reasons for private lessons

1. To understand the basics of Yoga - This type of session will equip you with the necessary tools to begin a consistent practice and inspire confidence in a larger group class. Most importantly, it will teach you to move safely within your body, learning to use your breath and sensations to guide you in and out of postures.
2. To develop a home practice - It is important to supplement group classes with a home practice. Practicing even just a few yoga poses at home on a regular basis will reinforce what has been taught in class and deepen your experience of Yoga.  In this session you will be guided through effective postures and sequences including feedback on alignment, technique, timing and modifications to design your home practice.
3. To address special needs - Some students have needs that cannot be met in a large group class. Some of these needs may be based on body type, health issues, limited movement due to injury, stress management or a variety of other circumstances. Special needs students can work through several sessions to develop a plan or can continue working privately.
4. To deepen your practice - This is a way to make large strides in and refine your practice. This is ideal for students who feel as if they have reached a plateau in their practice or who yearn for more in depth understanding of Yoga. A session will include advanced techniques and modifications and may include pranayama, kriya and meditation.
5. To relax - The name Shavasana comes from the Sanskrit words Shava meaning "corpse", and Asana meaning "posture" or "seat". Shavasana is complete relaxation and is considered the most important part of a yoga practice. Lying in a supine position, the arms and legs are spread at 45 degrees from the body, the eyes are closed and the breath is deep.  The body is progressively scanned for muscular tension and is consciously released. All control of the body, breath and mind is surrendered. Shavasana allows the body to release, realign and rejuvenate. The practitioner receives gentle hands on adjustments and aromatherapy using essential oils throughout the session.
