Although My Happy Yoga Place has many beginner-friendly classes, one of the best ways to get started with yoga is by having a one-on-one session. Think of it this way, if you've never experienced yoga before, you don't know what to expect, what the poses are, how to do them and it might be a challenge to follow along in class. By taking a one-on-one session, you can take your time to learn the proper technique of each pose, the names of the poses, the benefits of each pose and how to effectively transition into them. All at your own pace with proper guidance and personal instruction.

The frequency of which an individual desires to have a one-on-one session will be based on several factors. This might be based on personal preference of having use of the studio to themselves, or wanting to have focused personal classes based on their goals. Other factors are usually predicated on the individual's lack of availability to attend regularly scheduled classes. In that case, many students choose to have weekly sessions to keep their practice active.

Your personalized one-on-one session involves a preliminary meeting to discuss your needs, concerns and to create your custom plan. The entire session lasts about an hour. Alaina will review medical history, fitness experience level, personal goals and objectives. After a brief discussion, she will provide an in-depth yoga session that will address your personal goals. She will give hands-on instruction to insure proper technique, review the benefits of the specific postures and cover any questions you have. The investment for the private one-on-one session is only $65. Most people typically schedule weekly or biweekly sessions.

The session will be based on your goals and personal preference of the style you like. For example, some may desire a vinyasa flow such as a revitalize yoga class, while others may prefer either a gentle flow or yin yoga. Whatever it is you are looking for, we will tailor your one-on-one session to achieve your goals.
