What is private yoga?

Come to my zen studio and deepen your practice YOUR way. Private yoga lessons also 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 lesson allows an individual to set specific goals and plans, such as personal goals for flexibility, strength or meditation.

Examples of yoga classes include Vinyassa Flow, Kundalini yoga,restorative yoga, among others. Hybrid yoga styles include aerial yoga or incorporate Thai Yoga Bodywork or reiki.

Do you want your yoga instructor to become part of your overall wellness plan? I do wellness coaching as well as reiki and thai yoga bodywork.

This moderately-paced Hatha Yoga class, adapted to western students living active lives, incorporates creative sequencing of postures and exploration of breath to support steadiness of mind and to awaken energy flow in the body while simultaneously releasing chronic tension and developing body awareness. Some postures are led with longer holding, to encourage the body to release deep-seated tension, re-activate muscles that are working inefficiently and restore movement patterns that support longevity.
Posture modifications are offered to suit all fitness levels.

About Aerial Yoga
Aerial yoga is a combination of traditional yoga poses done on the floor, and postures practiced using a soft fabric "trapeze" (called an aerial fabric hammock or sling) suspended above the floor. This is the same fabric that aerialists use in the circus, but in aerial yoga our body weight is distributed between the fabric and the floor, allowing us to access traditional yoga postures in new ways.

Aerial Yoga was designed for anyone of any age or fitness level. Complete beginners to yoga and/or aerial will be right at home. Students range in age from teens up to 70's, with everyone working at their own level. If you have physical limitations or concerns, consult your physician first and also feel free to contact the studio's Certified Aerial Yoga Instructor for more information.

Benefits of Aerial Yoga
Decompression. Many newcomers enjoy working with the fabric because with the help of gravity there is very little pressure or stress on the joints, especially the spine. Inversions are accessed easily with no strain on the neck, back, or shoulders.
Alignment. Gravity eases us into optimal alignment with very little effort, and deep postures can be accessed through relaxation and deep breathing. Our relaxation response is heightened by the unique sensations accessed in aerial yoga.
Strength. Hanging in the fabric makes our core muscles fire. It is so much fun you don't even realize what a great workout you're getting. Transitioning in and out of the aerial yoga postures builds upper body strength, and resting in the postures heightens relaxation for a balanced effort overall.

Private classes are also available for anyone of any experience level who wants a little extra personalized instruction.
