Although our classes are small and intimate at Your Inner Yogi, some individuals find that private sessions are more appealing. Unlike basic classes, private sessions are one on one experiences with an instructor.

Benefits of Private Yoga Sessions

Focusing on Personal Goals

Private yoga sessions offer students the ability to focus on personal interests, concerns or goals. Instead of following along with the yoga instructor in a class setting, a private session allows an individual to set specific goals and plans, such as personal goals for flexibility, strength or meditation.

An instructor teaching in a private setting takes information about the yoga practitioner’s goals and creates a personalized routine based on the information.

Creating a Personalized Schedule

Although the experience itself and goal planning are important, making the time to practice is a vital element of yoga. If it’s not possible to get to a class, then joining a class is not the best choice. In such an instance, a private session can accommodate even the most hectic of schedules.

Private sessions work around personal plans and scheduling conflicts. Taking sessions at any time of the day or night, depending on work and/or social obligations, allows more flexibility in one’s yoga practice.

Overcoming Health Concerns

Injuries and health concerns can make a normal yoga class impractical for some participants. A yoga instructor teaching several students at one time cannot always focus on individual needs or ensure that the poses will not further injure or strain a particular person. Furthermore, health concerns like pregnancy, diabetes or heart disease may require special alterations to one’s yoga practice.

When health concerns are a potential issue, it is best to have a private yoga session. The instructor can work around the problem and avoid further complications.

Developing a Plan for Personal Home Yoga

Practicing yoga at home is not always wise until after working with a professional because home practice without any initial instruction can lead to accidental injuries.

A private yoga session makes it possible to create a plan that is appropriate for practicing in the home at a future date.

Working on In-Depth Practice

Although beginners can benefit from private sessions to gain confidence and learn safe practices, private sessions also are beneficial for advanced practitioners. Private instruction can allow one to take their yoga practice to the next level. Advanced classes, in a group setting, might not offer the level of challenge and planning that is required for more advanced practitioners.

It is beneficial to work with a private yoga instructor. In many cases, it will result in better skills, a greater level of confidence and fewer complications. Likewise, private yoga sessions may be the right approach to getting started or taking one’s yoga practice to the next level.
