Private lessons
Private yoga lessons place your learning, your questions, your needs, and your goals at the center of a relationship with an experienced and qualified teacher. Private lessons benefit both beginners seeking a foundation in the practice of yoga and experienced students looking for a deeper understanding of the practice.
Why take private lessons?
At any stage in your learning process, Gretchen can help you:
Learn poses, modifications, and the use of props to support a current injury or chronic pain
Learn key actions and sequences to achieve more advanced poses
Learn the basics of Iyengar Yoga so you can step confidently into a group class setting
Develop and deepen your personal practice with ongoing support and accountability
I love my private lessons with Gretchen!
She is a phenomenal Iyengar yoga instructor, very precise and methodical in her demonstration of the poses. I love the way she gives specific instructions to make sure I’m maintaining perfect alignment and posture so as to get the full benefit and flexibility from the yoga poses we are working on. She has helped me develop a customized home routine for my specific needs and goals. I have had chronic shoulder pain for years which I have been able to bring under control with my home routine. We have taken several private lessons as a family and my 9 year old daughter adores joining me for a yoga lesson in the comfortable cabana, I’m glad she is getting to experience the benefits of yoga from a young age! We end our lessons with a deeply calming meditation and I always leave feeling energetic, relaxed, refreshed and happier - like I was a couple of years younger or had just returned from a mini-vacation and I find myself eagerly looking forward to the next lesson!
