Customised Personal Training
Personal (one-on-one) yoga training offers several powerful benefits compared to group classes. Here’s why many find it worth the investment:
Personalized Attention & Custom Support
-
Tailored to your needs: A teacher can design a unique sequence based on your goals—be it flexibility, strength, stress relief, or rehab from injury.
-
Live feedback: You get immediate guidance on alignment, breathing, form, and posture—something not possible in packed group classes.
-
Hands-on adjustments: With permission, your instructor can offer gentle, tactile cues to enhance posture precision and deepen stretches.
Safety & Injury Prevention
-
Injury-aware modifications: If you're managing chronic pain or recovering from injuries, props and modified poses can be integrated safely.
-
Reduced risk: Close supervision helps correct faulty form that might otherwise lead to injury during unguided practice.
Faster Progress & Goal-Oriented Focus
-
Accelerated improvement: With individualized instruction, practitioners often advance faster—sometimes in just a few lessons.
-
Tailored milestones: Instructors can focus on your specific goals—like mastering a headstand, backbend, or reducing back pain.
-
Accountability: Regular private sessions help maintain discipline and ensure consistent practice.
Mental Clarity & Emotional Well‑Being
-
Safe personal space: One-on-one allows emotional safety—no need to worry about how others perceive your practice.
-
Deeper mindfulness: Without distractions, you can fully focus on breath, awareness, and presence.
-
Stress relief benefits: Yoga’s mental health improvements—relaxed mind, better mood, lower cortisol—are enhanced in private, focused settings.
Convenience & Flexibility
-
Schedule-friendly: Sessions can be arranged at times that suit your personal or work routine.
-
Location choices: You can practice at your home, office, or a studio—whatever feels most comfortable.
Summary: Is it right for you?
Choose personal yoga if you:
-
Want fast, safe progress on specific goals
-
Need posture correction or injury adaptation
-
Thrive with direct feedback and hands-on guidance
-
Count on convenience, privacy, and mental well-being
-
Value emotional safety or mindfulness without distractions
Stick to group classes if you're content with generalized instruction, budget-conscious, or enjoy social energy.
Tips Before You Book
-
Discuss your goals, any injuries, and what you’d like to focus on.
-
Clarify if you want hands-on adjustments or prefer verbal cues.
-
Ask about pricing—expect private sessions to cost more than group classes (often £30+ depends upon location, timing etc).
-
Try a few sessions—it’s common to use private lessons for targeted support a few times a year.
