Private Sessions

Body Lovin’ Journey

One of the most transformative experiences of my yoga practice was when I spent some time working one-on-one with my yoga teacher. During our time together, I was really able to build my confidence — both on and off the mat — because our time was dedicated to my individual needs and desires for my practice.

Surprisingly to me (at least at the time), it was also a time of great healing. I started my sessions hesitantly and reluctantly, with lots of apologies, excuses and shame about my body. As we went along, though, I felt excited to explore more poses than I’d previously felt comfortable with. From that safe space, I was able to slowly unfurl, both physically and emotionally. I was totally delighted by all the things I never knew I could do! And this delight translated into a warmer relationship with my body that has been growing ever since.

“Anna’s classes are inclusive and tailored to those of us in the curvy category. I was hooked after one class. I then became a private session client.  I never dreamed I would enjoy moving my body the way I do under Anna’s guidance. She has a unique understanding of me and my needs, emotionally and physically. For me, our sessions provide deeper understanding of the benefits of yoga, a budding friendship, and a little talk therapy mixed in! I truly bless the day I met Anna.” ~L.E.

What can you expect from a private session with me?

• Magic! (I kid, but only a little.) Seriously, though, private sessions are where some deep transformation can happen. With the time and space to focus exclusively on you, we can really kick your practice into high gear — whether that means building a yoga practice from scratch, learning poses that feel best for your body, shaping your practice around a particular health concern or (even better) some combination that best works for you!
• Before you get started, I will send you a questionnaire to learn more about your vision for your practice.  Your answers will be the start of an ongoing conversation about the best ways yoga can be a vehicle for meeting your personal goals.
• During each 60-minute session, we will begin with centering to get really grounded in your body. From there, we will work with particular poses to address the goals you identified.
• After each session, I will email you some poses to practice on your own home. Over time, you will build up your repertoire and home practice.
• In-between sessions, I am always available by email or phone to answer questions that may come up.
