Benefits of Private Sessions

I am teaching a Private Session today, and I spoke with someone recently about private lessons, so decided I would write down some of their benefits for this blog.

Several simple and compelling reasons come to mind:

a. These lessons take place at your convenience, both at a convenient time and place. While it is an advantage to be in a studio, it is possible to have a lesson at your home or work site as long as there is an open space large enough for two mats. One hour sessions are optimal, half hour ones can also work.

b. The content can be adjusted to fit your physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Do you desire more rigorous asana? No problem. More meditation? Always a good idea. 

c. Chronic health conditions can be handled in a private setting much more easily, with more depth and comfort for the practitioner.

d. Developing a personal practice can be a goal for your private sessions, or the private sessions can become your personal practice, the way one would work with a Personal Trainer at a fitness center on a regular basis.

The benefits of Private Sessions are almost always worth the increase in cost. The value of individual attention, coupled with scheduling convenience mean Private Sessions can be very worthwhile.
