Private Yoga Student Testimonials

I have taken private yoga lessons at CyCo for several months now and they have been great! To share my experience I would like encourage others to take private lessons as well. As we know, Yoga can offer an amazing variety of benefits from healthy bodies, mental relaxation, and not the least, (gasp!) spiritual enlightenment! All good stuff. I have taken private lessons before and find it helpful to more intensely learn well what I want to learn, with personal attention from an instructor. There are four reasons to take private lessons: 1. To develop a better understanding of the yoga poses (e.g. moving from the body not the mind, optimal anatomy alignment) and how to do some harder poses. 2. For special needs - such performing to a higher level in sports or for health reasons. 3. To learn some yoga philosophy - such as mindfulness, pranayama breathing, lightness. These are all essential for doing advanced yoga poses with ease. 4. To develop a home personal practice that compliments class practice. In my lessons at CyCo I learned some harder poses, took care of a body ailment, and enjoyed good introduction in some areas of yoga philosophy I hadn't explored yet. In privates, yoga teachers can focus on the needs and interests of the individual. They enjoy this opportunity. Yoga teachers are “really into yoga” and so know a lot more than they can possibly teach in a group class. I encourage people to find an instructor who has a style they like and to give it a try. ~Eric Nelson
