Yoga must be made to suit the individual, not the individual to suit the yoga.

Yoga Therapy/ Private Yoga Session- Private practice for Individual Needs
There are many reasons to consider a private yoga session. In fact, this was the traditional way yoga was taught—one-on-one, directly from teacher to student.
Today, yoga is often practiced in studio settings, offering a variety of classes and styles. While this approach can be beneficial, it may not fully address personal goals or specific needs. For those seeking a more individualized experience, private sessions provide an ideal solution.
Private yoga sessions offer a unique opportunity for focused attention and personalized guidance. This tailored approach fosters greater progression, growth, and the development of a personal practice that aligns with your specific goals, abilities, and circumstances.
Yoga Therapy is a comprehensive healing practice that integrates the full spectrum of yoga techniques and the wisdom of Ayurveda to promote health and healing on an individual level. Unlike approaches that focus solely on specific health concerns, Yoga Therapy addresses the whole person—considering who they are, how they are affected, and what they need to achieve balance and wellness.
While yoga in general is inherently therapeutic, group classes are designed to serve the collective needs of the group. This format may not be ideal for individuals with specific injuries, health conditions, or unique personal requirements.
