Learn the appropriate practice designed for your

UNIQUE condition.

There are many benefits to be gained from attending group yoga classes. However, an ideal way for many people to learn yoga and develop a personal practice for their individual needs is through private instruction. In a private yoga lesson, your individual needs will be discussed and assessed. From this, an individual practice of postures and breathing will be developed and taught; one that is appropriate for your particular needs. Individual needs to be considered might include general health, specific injuries or conditions, age, strength, flexibility, and life circumstances. For the novice it is considered best to have personal lessons with a respected teacher to make sure you are enjoying yourself, comfortable with every aspect of the pose, gaining the most benefit while eliminating risk of injury. For the more advanced yoga practitioners–who have perhaps accumulated a number of postural and kinetic deviations depending on how habituated to a certain routine you’ve become–precise, personal yoga sessions can make the shift happen naturally and easily in your practice. For centuries yoga was always taught one on one. Teacher carefully guiding student in precise personalized lessons to assure steady, progressive progress.

Reasons to consider private lessons:

• Privacy
• Personal attention
• Certified Yoga Therapist
• Development of a personal practice for your individual needs
• Benefits for injury, illness, stress and emotional difficulties
• Convenience of lesson times made by appointment
• Set and accomplish goals with guidance and support
