The individualized attention of a private lesson (or small group private class) will deepen your understanding of how to use yoga so that your home practice is truly healing and nurturing.
If you are a beginner (or new to Iyengar style yoga) private lessons will also help to prepare you for group classes.
Private lessons can be structured various ways. I can plan the lesson around any questions you may have; how to use props; how to use the yoga-wall ropes; how to set-up special props for Restorative Yoga, Supported Backbends, Supported Inverted Poses, etc.
In a private lesson we can focus on a specific category of poses: Restorative Poses, Standing Poses, Forward Bends, Back Bends, Twists, Inverted Poses, Lying Down Poses, Hip Openers, etc.
Private lessons are highly recommended if you have back, neck, knee, shoulder, wrist, or hip problems or are recovering from surgery or injuries. Or if you are coping with health challenges such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, arthritis, osteoporosis, parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, high blood pressure, headaches, etc.
A gentle, restorative yoga practice may help ease pain and replenish energy in women coping with breast cancer.
I also teach yoga for scoliosis, all ages, including children and teenagers.
For women: Yoga for all the stages of life. Prenatal Yoga. Yoga for menopause.
As part of the first lesson, I will recommend a personalized sequence of poses to practice at home. Follow up sessions will fine-tune the postures that were given in the first session and to add any other appropriate postures.
