PRIVATE YOGA INSTRUCTION with Johanna
WHO NEEDS PRIVATE YOGA INSTRUCTION?
Both novices and seasoned practitioners may find the individual
attention offered in a private yoga session useful. For new students, private yoga instruction offers a safe and comfortable
environment with the personal guidance you need. You will learn how to safely enter, hold and exit each posture,
developing a basic understanding of the practice so you can go to a group lesson with confidence and safety. For all students, the one-one one instruction and hands-on-adjustments offered in a private lesson facilitate
a stronger visceral understanding of correct alignment. It also may facilitate greater opening of the energy channels
and musculature, allowing students to deeply release and increase the flow of energy (prana).
WHAT WILL MY LESSON INCLUDE?
We will create a lesson tailored
to your needs after discussing what you want to achieve through the practice. Sessions may be slow and focused on stretching/
opening, or faster, flowing, strengthening, cardio-invigorating, or a combination of the two. We may include pranayama (breathing
practices), meditation, and/or yoga philosophy.
The practice
will end with a long savasana (or as one of my teachers, Baba Hari Dass calls it, "pariyankasana" --"laying
in the lap of mother earth"). During this reclining relaxation posture I often use essential oils, light touch
and crystal or tibetan singing bowls to facilitate deep release- a great way to ease into a massage session! |
