Private instruction is useful in learning to adapt group class postures to serve your individual needs.
Common goals of private instruction
- Home Practice Development: Students frequently want to practice yoga more often than they can come to group classes. Practicing at home is a useful and cost effective supplement to group classes at the studio. A home practice consultation includes evaluation of your personal goals, strategizing how to make your practice consistent, and a written practice plan. We will guide you through the practice once so you leave familiar with how to practice on your own safely and effectively. Home practice consultations are most effective when done in conjunction with group yoga classes.
- Personalized Yoga Coaching: Group class students frequently benefit from personalized help to deepen their yoga practice. Coaching sessions include feedback on how to properly perform yoga postures and adaptations for the client’s individual goals and body. Students who have attended coaching sessions report that the sessions help them make huge strides in improving their yoga practice.
- Therapeutic Instruction: Some individuals have needs that are not met by group classes. Examples of past client issues include: stress management, sports training, managing menopausal symptoms, arthritis, infertility, cancer recovery, Cerebral Palsy, and Multiple Sclerosis. Other issues are neck, back, and other acute and chronic physical injuries.Special needs instruction is best when done in a series of at least 4 sessions. Many students have a workable plan after 4 sessions. Others prefer to continue working one on one indefinitely.
