Who Benefits Most from Private Yoga Instruction?

Private yoga is not a group class experience—and it’s not meant to be. These sessions are designed for people who need individualized attention, customized movement, and a slower, more intentional pace. Whether someone is brand new to yoga, healing an injury, or seeking deeper mind-body integration, private sessions meet people exactly where they are.

Beginners Who Want a Strong Foundation

Many clients begin with private yoga instruction because they want to understand how yoga actually works before stepping into a group class. In private sessions, we break down postures from the ground up—how to place the feet, stack the joints, engage the core, and move safely with the breath. This gives beginners confidence, body awareness, and a clear understanding of alignment before entering a dynamic studio environment.

Injury Recovery, Chronic Pain & Limited Mobility

Private yoga is especially powerful for those navigating:

• Low back pain

• Sciatica

• Neck and shoulder injuries

• Limited joint mobility

• Arthritis and general stiffness

Sessions are not vinyasa-based. Instead, we work in a classical, therapeutic approach—slow, deliberate, and highly customized. Poses are built piece by piece so that bones stack properly over joints and muscles stabilize the body safely. For anyone healing from an injury, clients must have clearance from their medical provider before beginning movement work.

Group Class Students Seeking Deeper One-on-One Support

Some students attend regular classes but want more personalized instruction they simply can’t receive in a room full of people. Private yoga sessions allow us to refine alignment, build strength intelligently, and address personal movement patterns that are difficult to correct in a fast-paced group setting. This dramatically improves confidence and performance in public classes.

Anxiety, Stress & Learning to Be Present

Private yoga is also a powerful tool for nervous system regulation. Many clients seek one-on-one sessions to support anxiety, overwhelm, and chronic stress. The work emphasizes breath awareness, mindful movement, and present-moment attention. These sessions help clients step out of mental loops and into embodied awareness. This approach aligns deeply with the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, focusing on presence as a pathway to healing.

Shoulder Injuries & Upper Body Rehabilitation

We also see many clients with:

• Rotator cuff issues

• Frozen shoulder

• Postural imbalances from desk work

Private yoga allows us to rebuild stability, restore range of motion, and re-educate movement patterns safely—something that cannot be rushed in group formats.
