Private Yoga

One-on-one yoga, much like personal fitness training, is tailored to your specific needs. These 60-, 75-, or 90-minute sessions allow you to work privately with a yoga teacher (pick your favorite one or else we can help you choose), to create a practice that makes sense for your body and your level of experience. While all yoga supports you physically, emotionally, and spiritually, one-on-one yoga lets you work on what makes sense for you—at your own pace. There are several reasons why you should add private sessions to your weekly practice. They're helpful if:

• You're a beginner and you want to get started in yoga without being overwhelmed or intimidated
• You want to go to the next level in your practice or work more in-depth
• You have injuries (back, knee, shoulder) or health concerns (women's issues, stress, arthritis, chronic headaches, insomnia)
• You want to work toward a specific physical goal such as increased flexibility, balance, or strength; target problem areas like tight hips or hamstrings or weak knees, or increase your mental focus in a particular sport or activity
• You want to add yoga to your weight-loss or strength-training program
• You want to cross-train for marathons or triathlons
• You want to learn more about yourself—gaining awareness without judgment

You can also sign up for semi-private sessions (for you and a friend) or invite up to 3 others to join you. Not quite sure how to get started? Take advantage of our free 20-minute yoga assessment. Just make an appointment through the yoga department (or your membership representative). One of our private yoga teachers will spend time with you, talking about private yoga sessions and the daily group classes, and help you pick the right style of yoga and the program that works best for you.

Cost

The cost for a single private yoga session starts at $85. Package discounts are available for 6- and 12-lesson packages. Semi-private and small group sessions are also available at discounted prices.
