Private Yoga Lessonsyog
Private Yoga lessons can be either one on one yoga lessons or with a small groups of up to five people. Having a one on one lesson can benefit your yoga practice immensely.
Traditionally yoga was always taught one on one however as a more cost effective measure for yoga students through group sessions, they have become the normal expected practice. You can now expect for yoga classes to have 15 to 20 students with some city classes containing 30 or more.
When Should You Have Private Yoga Lessons?
It is a good idea to have one or two private yoga lessons a few weeks in to yoga practice once you have tried yoga a few times and have decided that this is something that you want to continue with. Yoga is very enjoyable and can also be very challenging. The use of a private lesson or two will give you a good head start in your yoga practice.
Another time private yoga lessons can be very beneficial is when you have had a break from your normal yoga practice for an extended period of time. Perhaps you have had an illness, injury, pregnancy, a long vacation or just life got to busy and you gave yoga a miss for a while. A private lesson or two can get you back on track really quickly.
What are the benefits of private lessons?
Private Yoga Lessons give you space in which you can connect more with your own body, mind and spirit as well as getting individualized attention from your yoga instructor.
During your private lessons your instructor will be able to see areas that need improvement and can structure your private lesson to include postures, poses and breathing exercises that are tailored to suit your individual needs. The benefits of learning yoga one on one is that you can progress further and more quickly by practicing postures and the breathing exercises at your own pace.
What Can I Expect to Pay?
Costs can vary greatly for private lessons however, if you speak to your yoga instructor they may be able to give you an idea of what a one on one lesson is likely to cost and also how the cost would reduce if you had one or two friends join you for a small group lesson.
As a general idea of cost, you should expect to pay $50.00 to $150.00 per lesson. There will sometimes be a minimum expected, for example a yoga instructor may only charge $50.00 for a 45 minute one on one lesson, but there may be minimum of three private lessons that must be booked and paid for.
How Many Private Yoga Lessons is Enough?
A minimum of 4 lessons is usually recommended with those who would be considered as having special needs through illness or injury. A minimum of 2 lessons would usually be enough for those wishing to have a home consultation just to improve home practice or to return to yoga practice after an extended break.
Yoga is a wonderful way to get in tune with your body, mind and spirit, keep fit and find balance and it is considered to be vitally important to enjoy your yoga practice. One of the best ways to get the most out of yoga is to think about the benefits you will gain by having one or more Private Yoga Lessons.
