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:
This half-hour consultation is offered without charge to discuss individual requirements.

requency of lessons:
A student usually meets their teacher every two to three weeks. However, as they become more familiar with Yoga practice, this can be reduced to every five  to six weeks. 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  practice are experienced.

The home practice can vary in length from 10 minutes to an hour, depending on how much time the student has available. Normally, the practice is from about 25  to 45 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.
