Private Instruction
What you may not know is that the whole concept of a Yoga
"class" is relatively new as compared to the history of the practice.
Private sessions embrace the original format of teaching Yoga with personalized
one-on-one instruction.
The reason you see so many styles of Yoga classes is that
there are so many types of people, all with different proficiency levels. As
our bodies and minds develop and change over time (at different rates!), each
person's Yoga practice needs to respond to those changes to remain effective.
Regardless of level, age or stage of life, private lessons
provide the perfect setting to address your individual goals and needs.
New students - Your
instructor will introduce you to the fundamentals of yoga postures and
breathing techniques, selecting postures which meet your specific needs,
offering hands on adjustments to ensure that you develop a safe and beneficial
yoga practice.
Experienced students -
Explore specific areas of interest, work on mastering more advanced postures or
learn to overcome any fears that might be holding your practice back.
All students - You
can work with an instructor to develop a customized daily practice, which can
improve the quality of your life.
Personalized yoga lessons are the most effective form of
Yoga, and the quickest way to reach your goals.
Reasons to Consider Private Yoga Sessions
- You
are brand new to yoga. Would you like to join the neighborhood yoga studio
or attend yoga classes at your gym but are just too shy to jump in?
Private sessions are an excellent way to begin your own yoga practice.
Develop your confidence by learning the fundamentals of yoga at your own
pace. Ask questions when you like, take your time learning the poses, rest
when you need to, and receive the individualized attention that you may
not feel comfortable asking for in a group setting.
- You
would like to deepen or strengthen your practice. Perhaps you are
interested in understanding more about the ancient and broad teachings of
Yoga. You may want to investigate more difficult poses or receive complete
and detailed adjustments. Or there may be specific practices such as
pranayama (breath work) or meditation that you would like to add to your
practice. Private sessions allow us to tailor the teaching to your
specific desires and inquiries.
- You
would like to develop a home practice. You may be a beginner or
experienced yogi who understands the benefits of a daily practice, but
would like assistance developing one. Together we can create your own practice,
working on your areas of interest such as alignment, sequencing,
pranayama, meditation and/or the philosophical aspects of yoga.
- You
have been away from yoga for a while. You’ve had an active practice in the
past but are just getting back into yoga, perhaps due to an illness or
injury. Private sessions can allow us to reintegrate your body back into
your practice while taking special care of your physical or emotional
needs.
How do Private Yoga Sessions work?
We meet at the Yoga H’om Studio, at your home or place of
business. We will begin by discussing your needs, concerns, questions and
goals. Then we work together, considering your individual situation, to develop
a practice that is perfect for you.
How many times should we meet?
Ideally, we should plan to meet weekly or bi-weekly for a
certain period of time, usually 3-6 months. This allows us time to reach your
goals and address any deeper issues that may arise. However, we can work
together to create a program that works with your schedule and budget.
Can I get an in-class assistant?
Experience a magical transformation with the gift of an in-class private assistant.
Make the most of your yoga class with the undivided personal attention and guidance of a certified Yoga H’om teacher. During any scheduled yoga class the comfort of a teacher’s hands will guide your body with skillful adjustments in your physical postures. This kind of individual attention will help you break through both physical and emotional barriers so that you can experience the bliss of each asana. Through this special technique defenses and barriers are relaxed leaving you with a sense of freedom of both mind and body. Contact Donna to schedule your personal experience for just $40.00 or buy now and schedule your personal assistant later.
What about group private lessons?
Practicing with a group gives us a chance to develop healthy
habits with friends, family, or co-workers and to bring more mindfulness and
respect to those relationships. Group practice also offers a chance to inspire
or be inspired by those around you. These sessions can be held in one of the
participants’ homes or at the Yoga H'om studio.
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.
