Scheduling a private yoga session

Historically, yoga was taught on an individual basis, teacher to student.  This enabled the teacher to customize a yoga program to meet the specific needs of each student.  However, today, group classes prevail for many reasons, including economics, student demand, and because it’s easier for students to dip in and try yoga in a group.  There’s less commitment, and students can try different styles and teachers until they find their best fit.

However, a private session is an excellent way to move your yoga practice forward.  You may schedule a private session if:

  • You are new to yoga and you are not sure which type of class to try, or feel nervous about trying yoga for this first time in a large group.
  • You want one-on-one help with certain poses or sequences.
  • You’ve hit a “yoga plateau” and are not sure why your practice is not advancing.
  • You are working with an injury and need to learn how to adapt/adjust your practice.

Whatever your goal with a private session, make sure to communicate it clearly to your teacher.  Your teacher will want to know:

  • What you hope to accomplish with your private session(s).
  • State of your general health.
  • What, if any, yoga experience you’ve had.
  • Any concerns you have about your practice/yoga in general.

To find the right teacher, ask around for recommendations.  Then, make sure any instructors you contact take the time to talk to you before trying to schedule an appointment.  You want to make sure you find someone you feel comfortable talking to.

Then, agree on a practice space.  Whether it’s in your home or in a public location, get rid of any distractions…cell phone, computer, etc., ensure against interruptions (kids, pets) and set an intention to give your practice your full attention!
