Individual Tuition

Traditionally Yoga was taught on an individual basis and it is still seen as an important way to explore Yoga. Individual lessons provide an opportunity to adapt the practice to the student's current state of health, life-style, interests and needs – it is in fact the ideal way to apply the principles of ‘viniyoga’.

Within these one to one meetings, a practice is developed and personalised for the student to use regularly at home. The teacher guides the student through the practice, carefully ensuring that it meets their needs and that they are comfortable with the techniques used. The practice respects the student's limitations but can also, with time, stretch their abilities.t

Initial Consultation:


The first lesson allows time to discuss the student's needs and expectations. A short home practice will be offered and this will be reviewed and refined in the sessions to come.

On-going Lessons:
requency of lessons:
The frequency and overall number of the lessons can vary, but a  minimum of six sessions is suggested in order that the benefits and potential of  regular practice are experienced.

Home Practice:

The home practice can vary in length from 10 minutes to an hour, depending on student's needs and circumstances. Normally, the practice is from about 20  to 40 minutes.


 You may find individual sessions particularly useful if you
:

Have problems with mobility or energy and find a group class very   challenging

Are very clear what you would like from yoga eg stress management,   meditation,relaxation, weight loss

Want support in dealing with a specific health problem – this can be    physical,mental or emotional

Want to deepen your experience of yoga by regular practice that is   appropriate to your unique needs and circumstances

Students attending a group class may find it helpful to have a one-to-one session  from time to time, as a support for their personal practice.
