Schedule Your Appointment

One of the biggest reasons that prevents potential students from trying or attending a yoga class is the intimidation or anxiety they feel about joining a large group to practice, this goes especially for beginners. Perhaps classes they’ve taken in the past were too challenging, too fast, or too crowded leaving them overwhelmed and frustrated. Private yoga lessons solves that by bringing you a level of attention that is unfortunately impossible through group-based yoga classes. Online private lessons are an ideal investment where you can learn modifications and safe progressions at your own pace so that eventually you’ll be more readily able to participate in group classes with confidence faster, efficiently and injury-free!

– You are having difficulty starting and gaining momentum for your yoga practice.

– You find the videos are too easy or difficult, and generally hard to follow.

– You require modifications due to a pain/injury you might be experiencing.

– You find accountability could be useful with practicing regularly.

– You are curious about experiencing some of the many benefits of a private yoga lesson.

One of my favorite aspects about having a yoga practice is the requirement for little/no equipment.  Although equipment requirements are minimal, here are my recommendations:

• Yoga mat – is essential and highly suggestible, but honestly not absolutely required. Practice on a bare floor or carpet if that’s all you got, just have some ample padding for your knees and wrists using perhaps a blanket or sweater.
• Yoga block – or two is really handy. It’s used to sit on for seated postures or most commonly used for assistance when balancing and helps bring the floor closer to the hands in certain postures for stability. If you don’t have blocks, maybe a couple of thick hardcover books, maybe a durable shoebox, or even a sturdy water bottle is helpful.
• Yoga strap – is useful for extending the arms and when you need a longer reach. I’ve even dedicated an upcoming class to using them throughout the practice. Alternatives to yoga straps, can be a towel, but for times where a towel isn’t long enough, belts and ties are some resourceful alternatives.

Here are my recommendations for an ideal computer setup:

• Skype: Please make sure you have Skype installed on your computer, laptop or tablet. Skype is a free video call service that allows him to connect with you anywhere in the world. To sign-up for the free service, visit: www.skype.com
• Audio Setup: Just like in an actual group-based yoga studio class, students don’t necessarily ‘see’ the teacher since most of the yoga class experience is based on listening for cues and instruction.  So the quality of your yoga sessions with me will largely depend on the quality of your audio speakers.  The best recommendation I can give is to attach an external speaker to your at-home yoga setup.  This way you can move freely without having to fuss with headphone cords attached to your devices.  If you need more clarity on how to setup your space best, let me know and I’ll be happy to guide you.

• If you’ve had a recent back, shoulder, wrist, elbow or neck injury (please consult with your doctor)
• Those who have had recent back, shoulder, wrist, elbow or neck surgery (please consult with your doctor)
• Individuals who suffer from chronic pain or illness that affects your ability to exercise or invert upside down
• Women who are pregnant (or trying)
• Those you haven’t been cleared from your doctor/physician for strenuous exercise (please consult with your doctor)
• Individuals who have high blood pressure

And lastly, you should have a green light from your doctor, physician or health care provider to make sure participating in yoga is good for you to do right now. If you have a unique situation, maybe you’re recovering from an injury, recently had surgery or would like to learn modifications that’s specific to you, please contact me to discuss a more tailored, safer and supervised alternative.
