All Your Questions Answered
Q. How do I get started?
We start with a phone consultation to make sure we are a good fit. On our call, we will discuss your specific needs and availability. From there, we can schedule your Introductory Session.
Q. What should I wear?
Comfortable clothing- fitted or loose, your choice! The important thing is that you can move freely without feeling restricted. Plan to be barefoot (unless we are doing Restorative or Meditation, in which case you might want to have socks available).
Q. What supplies do I need?
You'll need a yoga mat, two blocks, a hand towel and a blanket. You may also want to consider a strap and bolster. No worries if you don't have everything for the introductory session. We will be glad to discuss before you rush to purchase anything.

Q. How do I prepare for our sessions?
Before each session I encourage you to consider one of the core values of yoga, the concept of Saucha2. Saucha is the Sanskrit word for cleanliness, or purity, and it teaches us to respect both our bodies and environments to promote a sense of calm. Please wear clean clothes to practice and minimal (if any) fragrance. Ensure your mat and props are clean. Physical disorder affects the mind, so please eliminate clutter to create a reasonably neat practice area.

Q. Where do you teach?
We work mostly within a 20-mile radius of our cozy Soul Deep Sanctuary in North Caldwell, NJ. If you are slightly outside our zone, we may be able to accommodate you with a slight adjustment to our rates.
Q. I've never done yoga before? Can I take private lessons?
Absolutely! We love working with beginners.
Q. Can I schedule semi-privates with a spouse or friend?
We prefer to work with people one on one to deliver the most personalized yoga experience. However, we will consider semi-privates on a case-by-case basis and adjust rates accordingly.
Q. I just want to take one private yoga class. Can I do that?
We work with clients committed to meeting with a private yoga instructor on a weekly, ongoing basis. We do not offer single sessions at this time. However, if you are looking for an instructor to lead a workshop or one-time class at an event, let's talk!
Q. What are your rates?
Private yoga rates are comparable to other wellness services such as psychotherapy, physical therapy, massage or personal training. We'll give you a quote during a {phone consultation}.
Q. Can I purchase private sessions as a gift?
Wonderful idea! However, keep in mind that we work with clients committed to practicing on an ongoing basis, not for one-off sessions.
