PRIVATE LESSONS

Why take private lessons?
Private lessons are the most comprehensive way to learn and progress in the challenging practice of Ashtanga Yoga. They benefit people in all stages of practice.
For beginners, privates allow greater emphasis on fundamental techniques that form the basis of safe, steady progress. For people who wish to attend Mysore class as early as possible, privates facilitates the independence necessary for that class.
Occasionally, longtime practitioners may reach a point of stagnancy, which privates can remedy. Similarly, experienced practitioners can receive completely individualized guidance and attention from an instructor that fosters a more refined approach, which advances practice even while in class.
Privates are perhaps the best approach for people who suffer from injuries or major health issues. We have taught students with all types of physical and emotional concerns, and our highest priority is helping people create and sustain a theraputic practice. For example, severe health conditions often require modifications for many poses. The process of establishing a personalized practice can facilitate healing and, with consistency, transcendence of many limitations.
