About my class and techniques:

Everyone has a natural constitution. Our modern day existence  causes imbalances and create disturbances to all levels of our physical, emotional and mental beings. By identifying our constitution with a Vinyasa yoga approach and developing our personal practice, we can reduce these imbalances. Private yoga instruction is one-on-one time with the instructor. The yoga instruction is tailored to the individual needs of the student. Expect concentrated focus on what's holding you back in your practice and life. Each private is unique. Some time will be spent in discussion, some isolating structural issues, some working on pranayama (breathing). The lessons are especially helpful in order to get started with yoga or if students have special requirements and feel more at ease in a private teaching surrounding they feel the need to receive the utmost attention during their yoga education. Students with a well developed practice can use the sessions to explore more advanced postures. Students are always encouraged to come prepared with a list of questions or goals.
