Individual yoga classes at the River Wellness Center deepen your practice. Work one-on-one with a yoga teacher from River Yoga. Private instruction is useful in developing a home practice and in learning to adapt group class postures to serve your individual needs. This is useful for individuals who want to practice yoga at home or those who have special health concerns or injuries.

Common goals of private instruction

Our private clients typically have one of 3 goals:
Home Practice Development:

Students frequently want to practice yoga more often than they can come to group classes. Practicing at home is a useful and cost effective supplement to group classes at the studio. A home practice consultation includes evaluation of your personal goals, strategizing how to make your practice consistent, and a written practice plan. We guide you through the practice once so you leave familiar with how to practice on your own safely and effectively. Home practice consultations are most effective when done in conjunction with group yoga classes.
 

Personalized Yoga Coaching:

Group class students frequently benefit from personalized help to deepen their yoga practice. Coaching sessions include feedback on how to properly perform yoga postures and adaptations for the client's individual goals and body. Students who have attended coaching sessions report that the sessions help them make huge strides in improving their yoga practice.
 

Special Needs Instruction:

Some individuals have needs that are not met by group classes. We work one on one with students who have a variety of needs. Examples of past client issues include: stress management, sports training, managing menopausal symptoms, arthritis, infertility, cancer recovery, Cerebral Palsy, and Multiple Sclerosis. We also work with individuals with neck, back, and other acute and chronic physical injuries.

Special needs instruction is best when done in a series of at least 4 sessions. Many students have a workable plan after 4 sessions. Others prefer to continue working one on one with us indefinitely.

We have the ability to teach up to 3 student at a time.
