Personalised Yoga Lessons for Recovery, Support or Development
In modern life Yoga practice can be applied both developmentally or therapeutically to enhance health and well being from many different directions, such as to support our efforts to:
Positively influence our well-being
Improve personal fitness levels
Enhance personal energy levels
Help mental or emotional stability
Cope with excessive stress
Prepare for birth and post-partum.
Reduce dependency on social and medical drugs or overeating
Learn to care for health issues such as back pain, arthritis, asthma, circulatory or digestive disorders etc.
However certain situations may be best suited to individual Yoga Lessons and require practices developed within the privacy of Personal Yoga Tuition.
Who are Yoga Lessons For?
Private Yoga lessons are available for people with specific interests or needs where the advantages of working with Yoga individually would be more beneficial. Traditionally Yoga was often taught on an 121 basis and this is still seen as an important way to explore Yoga practice according to the person and their situation.
“Whether or not I like it, I should know where I am.
Otherwise we try to draw the line from where we are not to where we want to be.”
- TKV Desikachar
Whether your interest is Yoga exercise for fitness, learning Yoga postures or Yoga breathing techniques for mental and physical health, needing a practice for meditation, or for Yoga as therapy for body or mind, or a practice tailored to your energy and aims; one to one lessons offer time to discuss your hopes and issues around the questions of Yoga practice and what you wish to change.
Individual Yoga lessons also provide an opportunity to adapt and over time develop the Yoga practice, firstly to respect the Yoga students limitations and then to stretch their abilities. Here time can be given to exploring the students needs and develop a practice appropriate to their lifestyle, interest and commitment.
“The target of Yoga is ‘svatantra’ which means to discover our own technique.
‘Sva’ means itself and ‘tantra’ means technique.
The techniques are in oneself and we must discover them;
if not we will depend on others.
I am sick and I go to the doctor;
but finally I must become my own therapist.
This is ‘svatantra’.” TKV Desikachar
