Private Sessions/One-on-One Instruction
I'm excited to offer you personalized, mindful, embodied service on an individual basis, to help foster a radical, compassionate shift and change in your wellbeing.
My goal in teaching yoga in general, and especially in "one-on-ones" is to serve you, the student, directly, with wisdom and empathy, helping you foster a grounded, wise, empathic, harmonious sense of being in the world. I've taught yoga since 2004, most of it in as a Mysore style Ashtanga teacher, which is essentially semi-private yoga in a group session - which means I have more than average experience with direct, personalized, one-on-one teaching, along with a wealth of hands-on, practical knowledge through working with thousands of yoga students over the years. My methods of teaching are imbued with stability, wisdom, compassion and lightheartedness. Having lived a yogic and Ayurvedic lifestyle for well over a decade, I bring this practical knowledge to both group classes and to private sessions, too. If students wish it, I draw not only from my own experience as a teacher of asana and pranayama and Ayurveda, but also my lifelong scholarship and study of a wide variety of transformative, spiritual, insightful, challenging, edifying writing and thought. I love to empower students to be their own healers, and often recommend appropriate books, spiritual texts, authors and essays, podcasts, art, music - and especially, other teachers and experts I know from my decades in the yoga world who might serve as resources for your journey, guiding students especially towards brilliant but often overlooked BIPOC/LBGTQ writers, teachers and leaders, too. One-on-one study with me gives students the opportunity to ask questions and seek personalized guidance for a variety of needs and concerns - not only for asana practice, but also:
I'll curate a simple, practical and sensible path for you, rooted in my almost 30 years of study and practice of asana, pranayama, svadhyaya (scriptural study) yoga nidra and Ayurvedic self care. Why work with me?
And, I don't just teach Ashtanga yoga, but also offer therapeutic yoga in a modality called SRY - Supreme Release Yoga - as well that is outstanding for alleviation of issues related to hypermobility. |
