At Home
Private lessons are the ideal setting for exploring the practice in an individualized manner. Those who are new to yoga gain great benefit from starting with private lessons before moving into group classes. Intuitive, one-on-one attention ensures that postures are learned with precise alignment, taking into consideration any need for modifications due to injuries or restrictions.
For those accustomed to a class setting, private lessons nurture personal growth, targeting key areas where strength and mobility can be improved, or addressing particular poses that present difficulty or frustration.
Students can then bring this information into group classes, or use it to build a confident self-practice that can be done anywhere, at anytime.
If you are currently experiencing chronic conditions inhibiting movement, or require injury rehabilitation, please contact Cecily to discuss how private yoga could facilitate therapeutic recovery.

Things to keep in mind:
– Fees are based on length of session (60-90min) and distance traveled.
– All cancellations must be received within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment so as not to incur a fee.
– Payment can be made online in advance, or at the time of each session.
– Cecily will conduct a preliminary physical assessment of posture, strength, flexibility and any history of injuries or medical conditions. All information is kept strictly confidential.
– Students are asked to supply their own yoga mats.
– It is best to schedule private sessions at a time when your home/office is quiet and free of distractions.
– When scheduling, keep in mind that yoga is most enjoyable on an empty stomach.
– If there is anything that would make your customized yoga session more enjoyable (i.e. music, a specific focus on challenging postures, extra time spent in relaxation), don’t hesitate to communicate your wishes to Cecily.
