Private Prenatal Yoga Classes

Private instruction is useful in developing a home practice and in learning to adapt group class postures to serve your individual needs. Useful for individuals who want to practice yoga at home or those who have special health concerns or injuries.

Private classes may be useful for those who want to practice yoga more often than they can come to group classes. Lessons include evaluation of your personal goals, strategizing how to make your practice consistent, and a written practice plan. Coaching sessions include feedback on how to properly perform yoga postures and adaptations for the client's individual goals and body. This personalized attention will help to deepen your yoga practice. Some individuals have needs that are not met by group classes.

Private instruction is best when done in a series of at least four sessions.
