Beginner training plan
Your first classFirst lesson is an introduction to the practice where we learn to get to know each other and what you as a client wants to achieve with your practice.
Class 2-3Sessions will be created based on goals. They will be built to gradually increase in difficulty to challenge the client in an appropriate way. We are looking for a balance and gradual progression
Class 4-10We will continue in the same manner as classes 2-3 and make adjustments based on what we are noticing throughout the practice. At this point we might have noticed areas that needs special attention or a change in the practice.
Class 11+Communication will be key and we will continue to assess and adapt the sessions as needed

Rachel
I’ve practiced yoga on and off for years, but persistent back pain had made me hesitant to keep a consistent practice. After working together in private sessions, I’ve noticed a significant improvement—not only in my flexibility and strength, but in how my back feels throughout the day. Each session is thoughtfully tailored to what my body needs. Instead of pushing through discomfort, I learned how to move with better awareness, improve my alignment, and build stability without aggravating my back. The combination of mindful movement, breathwork, and relaxation has made a real difference in both my physical pain and overall well-being. If you’re already familiar with yoga but dealing with chronic back discomfort, I highly recommend these private sessions. The personalized approach has helped me get back to enjoying my practice with much more confidence.
Brent
As an athlete, I wanted to improve my flexibility and sharpen my focus, and these sessions have exceeded my expectations. I’ve noticed better mobility, quicker recovery, and feel much more present during training and competition. The combination of movement and breathwork has made a real difference in both my performance and mindset. Highly recommend to any athlete looking for an edge.
Lisa
I had never done yoga before, so I was a little nervous about starting. After just five private sessions, I already feel stronger, more flexible, and much more connected to my body. Every session was personalized to my level, and I never felt intimidated or overwhelmed. The instruction was clear, patient, and encouraging, making it easy to build confidence each week. I also noticed a big difference in my stress levels and how much better I felt afterward. If you’re a beginner and have been putting off trying yoga, private sessions are absolutely worth it. I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction, and I’m looking forward to continuing. Highly recommend!
Rose
As a senior and a beginner to yoga, I was looking for something gentle and safe, and these private sessions have been wonderful. Every lesson is adapted to my ability, and I always feel supported and encouraged. After just a few sessions, I’ve noticed better balance, less stiffness, and more confidence in my movements. I leave each session feeling relaxed, refreshed, and grateful. I highly recommend these private sessions to anyone looking to improve their health in a calm, caring environment.
Ben
I started with no meditation experience and have now completed five private sessions. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but each session left me feeling calmer, more present, and better able to manage stress. The guidance was gentle, clear, and never overwhelming. It’s become something I genuinely look forward to each week
