While every class is unique, here are a few elements you can expect to find in all my private classes:

• Deep listening to your needs of the day

• Opening mindful breathing and grounding practice

• Warm-up and stretches adapted to your needs and to the focus of the class

• Cues and hand-on adjustments to deepen your understanding of each posture and help you tune-in your body

• Focus on breath and movement coordination throughout the class 

• A sequence that evolves class after class based on your needs - unless you are joining in the Ashtanga path (see below)

• Yoga drills and a workshop-style approach to work on new or more challenging postures

• Closing traditional yogic breathing practice (pranayama), guided relaxation and rest. 

Ashtanga students: 
Ashtanga Yoga is traditionally learnt and practiced in a Mysore room, whereby students evolve at their own pace under the expert eye of the teacher, building from one pattern of asana to a more challenging pattern of asanas until proficiency is attained.

In a one-on-one setting, I provide the same individual guidance and physical adjustments you would receive in a Mysore room as well as my undivided attention. I teach all the postures of the Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series.
