private instruction

what is private instruction?
Private instruction is an individual yoga session that focuses on your specific needs.

what can i expect from a private session?
A short time at the beginning of each session is generally spent in conversation to determine how you are doing and what you need from that particular lesson. The rest of the time is used for yoga practice: postures, breath work, deep relaxation and/or meditation. To the degree that you are comfortable, hands-on corrections and assisted postures may be part of the session.

can i take notes or tape the session?
You are encouraged to take notes during your sessions and to ask questions as needed. While taping a session is permitted, I have found the tapes difficult to hear because we may be moving about the room.

why the different prices?
Active students pay a discounted rate because they support the studio with regular class attendance. More importantly, my work with active students is made easier by the fact that I am familiar with their individual needs and they maintain a fairly regular yoga practice. I am happy to offer even further discounts for a 3-month commitment to private instruction because we can accomplish so much more with frequent and consistent sessions.

student comments about private instruction

It was invaluable! I use many of the exercises, especially at school or in stressful situations. ~Demi
It has helped strengthen my lower back and increased my flexibility. The class focuses solely on all my “sore spots” so when the session ends, I feel relaxed, refreshed and much more at peace. ~Ellen
Private yoga sessions address my individual level and where I need to start. ~Susan
Barb helped me heal a shoulder injury by leading me in a series of postures which focused on that part of the body. Week by week the stiffness and pain went away completely! ~Heidi
I like knowing that my [yoga] routine is especially designed for my own particular body and the way it works. ~Bobbie
It has been very helpful in getting me started practicing yoga at home. ~Susanna
The studio became a sanctuary, Barb became a friend, and the practice became a discipline that will be part of the rest of my life. ~Jan
