Private Yoga Sessions
When we meditate, we’re creating a situation in which there’s a lot of space. That sounds good but actually it can be unnerving, because when there’s a lot of space you can see very clearly: you’ve removed your veils, your shields, your armor, your dark glasses, your earplugs, your layers of mittens, your heavy boots. Finally you’re standing, touching the earth, feeling the sun on your body, feeling its brightness, hearing all the noises without anything to dull the sound. You take off your nose plug, and maybe you’re going to smell lovely fresh air or maybe you’re in the middle of a garbage dump. Since meditation has this quality of bringing you very close to yourself and to your experience, you tend to come up against your edge faster. It’s not an edge that wasn’t there before, but because things are so simplified and clear, you see it, and you see it vividly and clearly.

Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, Vol. I
Having the full attention of a teacher can reap large rewards. I can help you address posture issues, breathing, stress and anxiety, or problem areas of tightness, injury or pain. Private instruction can help you go deeper in your self exploration and understanding. If you wish to have a personal yoga practice, I can tailor a program that’s right for you. You can come just once or as often as you wish. My studio is small and intimate with lovely light, and I have a closet full of props to enhance the benefit and safety of certain poses, and for restorative yoga.
Private instruction is $75 per hour. Semi-private (2 students) instruction is $100 per hour.
Cancellation policy: to avoid charge, please provide at least 24 hours notice.
