Private Yoga Sessions
These sessions can be designed for either the beginner or advanced Yogi. The intention is to help you live well – at home, work, and play - to feel the best you can physically, mentally, and emotionally, using Yoga as the tools to get there. Private classes are ideal for people with pain, injury/illness, and/or those looking for more relaxation, strength and ease of movement in their lives. The sessions will help you reduce pain, teach you proper body mechanics and body awareness as well as helping to regain functional movement. If your desire is to deepen your personal understanding of Yoga or motivate you to practice at home, private sessions are ideal. Sessions are therapeutic in nature - focusing on awareness and relaxation, while gently increasing strength, stability, and mobility. Programs are designed to meet your specific needs – whether you wish to improve your sport(s), your home life, or your ability to perform your job with greater ease of movement.
Sessions occur in-studio and are typically 45-60 minutes. Semi-private sessions with 2-4 people are also available.
