Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a group yoga class and a private yoga session?

A group class is usually taught with a more generic sequence though it may target specific areas that many students may have issues with. These classes are also usually found at a lower price because there are more students in the class.

A private yoga session is completely individual and unique to your level, goals, and needs. During private sessions, you get one-on-one attention and it is significantly easier to ask questions during the sessions when concerns arise. Private sessions usually cost more because of the one-on-one attention and individualized nature of the session.

Both options are amazing, so it depends on what you are looking for.

Are private yoga sessions appropriate for me if I have never done yoga before?

Private yoga would be PERFECT for you. Each session is personally tailored to your level, goals, and needs.

I am recovering for a recent injury/surgery so I am not sure yoga is right for me?

As a private yoga instructor and physical therapist assistant, I am uniquely positioned to be able to help you on your journey to recovery. As long as you have been cleared for activity by your physician/surgeon, we can work together to design a completely individualized practice to help you meet your goals.

I live with chronic pain, would private yoga sessions be beneficial?

Yes! Private yoga sessions would be the ideal way to begin or deepen a yoga practice when living with chronic pain. Each session will be paced and created to meet your needs that day. No two sessions ever have to be the same.

How do I schedule a private yoga session?

Before jumping straight into private yoga sessions, I schedule a Free Intro Call with each potential client. These calls are done over Zoom so that we can see each other and chat to get to know each other better. This will also allow us to more specifically discuss what you are looking for in your private sessions.

At the end of the Free Intro Call, we will set up your first private session!


Do you offer in-person or virtual private yoga sessions?

Currently, I only offer virtual private yoga sessions over Zoom. All you will need is a stable internet connection and a free Zoom account. The link for each session will be found in a confirmation email you will receive when we schedule each session.

How do I set up for a Zoom private yoga session?

Find a quiet space in your home with enough room to move and where the device (phone, tablet, computer) you are using can be far enough away that you are visible on camera from head to toe so that I am able to see how you are moving to best help you during our sessions.

What do equipment I need for my sessions?

Though not required some basic yoga equipment is recommended for our sessions. Most of these items will be available anywhere that general fitness/workout equipment is sold though below are some examples of more standard household items that may be substituted.

  • yoga mat and/or a towel - ideally you want a non-slip surface and possibly something to cushion you against the floor

  • yoga blocks - blocks are used to make poses more accessible by bringing the level of the floor up; stacked books can work well if blocks are not available

  • bolster - a bolster can make certain poses, such as lying on your back, more comfortable/tolerable though a pillow or rolled blanket can work just as well

  • yoga strap - a strap can act like an extension off your arm allowing to clasp your leg, foot, or other hand more comfortably; a belt or long towel may also work

What is your cancellation policy?

Life happens and sometimes we have to cancel or reschedule our plans. These scheduling changes directly impact my ability to assist other clients on their wellness journeys. In the event that you need to cancel your appointment, I ask that you provide at least 24 hours notice. If you cancel your appointment within 24 hours or do not show for your appointment, it may result in you being charged the full amount.

Are you available for group sessions and private events?

Yes. Please contact me directly about your event so we can chat about the specifics of content of session, number of participants, and pricing.

 

Still have questions?

Please reach out to me directly so we can chat and I can answer any questions you may have that were not addressed above.
