Private Ayurvedic Yoga Instruction

My customized yoga programs run deeper than just physical poses. I combine many styles of yoga (Yin, Restorative, Hatha, Power, Vinyasa, Nidra) and create flows from an Ayurvedic perspective, which takes into account each individual’s unique constitution (Prakruti), what imbalances one is experiencing at the time (Vikruti), as well as natural factors like the time of day and the season of the year.

During our sessions, you will learn to embody Ayurvedic wisdom not only through the physical practice of asana, but also through breath work, mudras, mantras, and guided meditations. These are all designed to cultivate mind-body-spirit connection and create balance and harmony within. You will learn how to recognize physical and emotional imbalances and how they manifest in the body, understand which types of practices nourish and support you, and cultivate presence, awareness, and compassion as you breathe and move with guidance and intuition.

My goal when we work together is to create a customized program that is tailored specifically to your body and your imbalances. Each yoga session is carefully crafted to include specific asana to either ease physical discomfort, increase stamina and flexibility, calm or energize the nervous system, ground the body, calm the mind, or whatever it is you are in need of at that specific time. In essence, I will offer you a combination of body-mind-spirit practices so you can fully embody the experience and take what you learn during the practice off the mat and into your daily life.

Why Should You Consider Private Instruction?

• You want to learn more about how yoga & Ayurveda can support and enhance your practice.
• You want to tailor your practice to your Ayurvedic constitution.
• You want to learn more than just the physical practice of asana.
• You want to find balance through a variety of practices (mudras, mantras, meditations).
• You’d like to deepen your practice – physically, mentally and spiritually.
• You want to maintain your own consistent, safe, intuitive, and well-informed practice. 
• You want to practice at your own pace and according to your own schedule.
• You prefer a session tailored to your specific needs as opposed to practicing in a group setting.
• You are a yoga instructor who would like to enrich your own practice or what you offer to students.
• You have a chronic health condition that requires specific modifications.

How is a Session Structured?

Each Ayurvedic yoga session will start with a 5-10 minute check-in to discuss any changes in energy, your body or mindset. Understanding which imbalances are expressing themselves that day will help me to ensure that each practice is customized to your specific needs. We will then focus on breath work, mantras and/or mudras before moving on to the physical practice.

What is a Discovery Call?

A discovery call is simply a conversation – and it’s free! It’s your chance to ask me anything – from my credentials to past experience, to specific details about any of the coaching programs that I offer. It could also be a chance for us to get to know each other, to see if we mesh well and if we are on the same frequency. I am a firm believer in the idea that we connect with specific people for a specific reason, sometimes without even being able to verbalize that reason. It’s just a feeling. If I’m not your gal, that’s totally alright! I will wish you the best on your journey to wellness and self-discovery. On the other hand, if there is an energetic spark or if what I say resonates with you, I would be more than humbled to work with you and create a program that will help you feel more connected, supported, and balanced.
