Yoga can be practiced in many places. Some practice alone at home, others prefer the yoga studio, and some people want private yoga lessons. No longer just for celebrities and wealthy yogis, a growing number of teachers are offering private lessons in the comfort of your home.
People take private lessons for several reasons. Busy professionals and working parents may choose to take a private lesson because the group lessons at the studio aren’t compatible with their schedules. People with specific health conditions, limitations or those requiring special attention and assistance may choose a private lesson to give them the attention they need.
There are many benefits to private yoga lessons, particularly if you are new to the practice and want more attention to help you learn proper alignment, or if you have a specific condition that requires modifications or prohibits certain asanas.
Private yoga lessons offer the time and space to learn and perfect each new asana at your own pace. You won’t be struggling to keep up with the pace of the class or feel unsure about our position in each pose. Your private teacher will set the pace of the lesson to your needs, so you can master asanas in your own time.
People notice improvements shortly after beginning private yoga lessons. You will find that with personal attention and guidance, your flexibility, strength, balance and endurance are improving rapidly. Because you have the full attention of the teacher, you can work to quickly overcome your specific areas of weakness.
While all yoga offers health benefits, overall health may be further improved through private instruction. Yoga offers specific benefits for people with MS, chronic injuries, cerebral palsy, depression, anxiety and a broad range of other physical and emotional problems. Private yoga instruction allows you to focus on asana that offer the greatest benefit for your condition.
