How private yoga sessions work

  • Start with Self yoga sessions can be conducted online, in the comfort of your own home.

  • Each session lasts up to one hour in duration but can be tailored to your personal needs.

  • Each session is personalised with your level of experience, comfort, safety and needs in mind.

  • Sessions integrate mindfulness and gentle movement to foster healing and well-being.

  • We offer flexible scheduling to fit your lifestyle and time zone.

  • Your yoga instructor is a fully qualified trauma-informed and yin yoga teacher with over 600 hours of teaching experience

  • You have the option to choose between one-on-one or arrange your own group of up to 3.

  • Private yoga can be combined with supporting psychotherapy sessions.

  • Continuous support and follow-up are provided to track your progress and address any concerns.

Every session is designed based on these 6 principles:

1. Safety – each class provides a psychologically and physically safe environment.

2. Trust and transparency – each class includes a breathing practice, yoga poses, and a short meditation. All of these practices are an invitation and you can always choose not to them if that doesn’t resonate with you on a given day. My belief is that you are an expert in your mind, body, and your experiences. In the trauma informed yoga practice students are encouraged to remember about their personal agency every step of the way.

3. Empowerment and choice – each class offers plenty of various options to meet everyone’s unique needs. You can choose whatever feels good for you at a given moment.

4. Collaboration – each class starts with a check-in. I’m always open to hearing your feedback and learning more about your specific needs.

5. Refraining from hand-on assist.

6. Respect for diversity – all cultures welcome.
