What to Expect in a Private Yoga Session

Fully Customizable

My first priority when working with private Yoga clients is to gather full understanding of the clients reasons for pursuing one-on-one Yoga and any goals they might have for how this practice can support them in their daily life. Private Yoga sessions are heavily rooted in the physical movements of Yoga and pull inspiration from mobility training. This combination of movement practices can improve flexibility and increase strength to support healthy joints and optimal movement patterns. Each session will help the client progress their individual goals while simultaneously meeting them where they’re at on any given day, meaning the approach is flexible and always adaptable.

Holistic Approach

My approach to Private Yoga sessions will always keep the whole person in mind. Each session incorporates breathwork, mindfulness techniques and self massage, all of which are scientifically proven to regulate the nervous system and help relieve stress.

Science-Backed

I have extensive training in movement science and a passion for helping others increase their movement awareness. My goal is to support you in your pursuit of pain management, stress relief, injury prevention and/ or recovery. A private Yoga practice with me, will help you build habits to support long term health.

You've heard the saying "If you don't use it, lose it". This can very much be applied to our body's ability to move in all of the ways it was designed to.
