This 1-hour, on-site class offers basic yoga and/or pilates instruction, enabling participants to return to work with a calm focused energy. All classes consist of breathing exercises, warm-up stretches, flowing sequences, and exercises that build strength and stamina. Each session ends with a relaxing guided meditation designed to decrease stress and promote physical and mental wellness.
Yoga classes incorporate an eclectic approach with emphasis on energy flow, alignment, and breath awareness. Pilates classes focus on diaphragmatic breathing, kinesthetic awareness and core strength. Yoga and pilates can be combined into one class. Benefits include improved physical fitness, mental clarity, stress reduction, self-awareness and general well being.
While group classes are an effective way of practicing yoga, yoga is a personal practice. Students looking for personal guidance supplement their yoga classes with private instruction.
Some reasons why students choose a private session
What to Expect
In a private training session, yoga is applied uniquely to each person.
Sessions allow students of all levels to explore specific areas of interest
such as alignment in asanas, meditation, philosophy, etc. Generally some time
is spent in discussion, isolating structural issues, assessing abilities,
improving the body's form and technique, working on breathing exercises, enhancing
relaxation/meditation methods, and learning how to listen to the body's signals.
Yoga postures and breathing exercises are selectively chosen and developed
based on an individual's specific needs, goals, and preferences. Clients learn
and practice these techniques at their own pace and within their own limitations.
Attentively guided by verbal instruction, imagery, demonstration, and hands-on
direction, the students can enhance their yoga practice in a way that is not
necessarily attainable in group classes.
