Private Yoga Sessions
1-on-1 at home
Private sessions are a special opportunity to work closely with a teacher who shows up 100% for you. Historically, the student-teacher relationship played a fundamental role in the study of yoga. The ancient teachers guided each student individually through life challenges and spiritual discovery, using Asanas (physical poses) and Pranayama (breathing exercises) in preparation for long periods of meditation.
Frustrated or COnfused Trying to follow group classes? wondering if you're doing poses safely?
Our work together will be a personal and reassuring process with 1-on-1 attention guiding you every step of the way through your practice.
We will create a sacred space where you can move and breathe in a way that improves your flexibility and strength, as well as reduces tension, anxiety and stress.
No Fear. No Limits. No excuses. You need to be a beginner before you can be anything else.
Every journey starts by embracing wherever you are now. From there, we will customize our sessions to inspire and support your practice to meet your unique physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
Private sessions are guided by your needs and draw influence from styles including:
Vinyasa (active, flowing, warming)
Yin (slow, deep stretching)
Restorative (resting with supportive props, calming)
If you are seeking a practice that is less physically demanding, we offer Guided Meditations and Energy Healing sessions.

Most Useful Props for Everyone
Yoga Mat Jade Harmony is my personal favorite. 68” length is standard.

Other Stuff to Consider
Yoga Strap 6’ or 8’ with metal D-ring
Blanket(s) Mexican-style heavy weight blanket (approx 54” x 78” and 3.2 lbs)
Yoga Bolster Bolsters are great, but we can use your blanket as an alternative.
Guided Meditation
Learn how to find the balance between Sthira and Sukha. These are the feelings of steadiness and ease, stability and peace, as described by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. Using the breath as our guide, we will explore our way into a meditative state, without the distractions of a whirling mind and restless physical body.
We will use the physical yoga poses, called asanas, to strengthen areas of weakness and soften areas of tension, embracing acceptance as we move closer to equilibrium. Discover how it feels to allow things to just "be", to cultivate balance in your life, both on and off the mat.
Energy Healing: Reiki + Yoga
Experience the powerful union of these two ancient traditions. The unique combination of Reiki + Yoga helps to open and clear the energy channels in the body and increase the flow of universal life force energy (called Prana in India and Ki in Japan).
This soothing practice combines selected yoga poses, each held for several minutes, with a Reiki treatment offered by your practitioner to support and boost the body's natural healing and cleansing processes. Remove blockages, restore balance and open the doors to mindfulness, intuition and inner peace.
How Reiki + Yoga works:
We begin with slow, intentional breath and guided meditation, followed by a gentle, flowing asana practice. From there, we ease into stillness, finding a comfortable supported seat or reclined position. The practitioner's hands will be positioned over your body, with or without touch. We concentrate on the Chakras, energy centers along the spine, and on the main internal organs. As the receiver, you need only to be open, release expectations and enjoy the relaxation!
Reiki Principles:
Just for today, I will not worry. Just for today, I will not be angry. Just for today, I will do my work honestly. Just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings. Just for today, I will be kind to my neighbors and every living thing.
