Is Private Yoga Right for You? What to Expect in a One-on-One Session

Sometimes, the most meaningful progress in yoga doesn’t happen in a packed studio or during a dynamic group flow. It happens in quiet moments — when the practice is fully tailored to your body, your breath, and your life.

That’s the beauty of private yoga and therapeutic sessions: they offer the space and time to meet you exactly where you are.

Group classes are a wonderful way to share energy, build consistency, meet like-minded people, and stay inspired — but they can only offer so much individual attention. In a private setting, the entire practice is designed around you. That means we can explore poses and movements that support your specific body, adjust alignment in real-time, and work toward goals that matter to you personally — whether that’s better posture, less pain, or deeper relaxation. It’s a space where you can ask questions, slow down, and truly listen to your body without distraction or comparison.

In this post, we’ll explore what happens in a one-on-one session, what makes it different, and how to know if it’s right for you.

What Makes Private Yoga So Valuable?

When you invest in private yoga, you open the door to a practice that’s entirely about you. When we work together one-on-one, you receive a yoga practice that’s crafted just for you. Whether you’re dealing with tight hips from running, recovering from an injury, navigating stress, or simply wanting to deepen your connection to your body, private yoga offers the space for that.

Here’s how I support you during our time together:

• Individualized Attention: We focus on your body, your breath, and your goals. Everything is tailored — from how we move to the props we use to how long we stay in a pose.

• Supportive Adjustments: I offer hands-on or verbal alignment cues to help you move safely and effectively.

• Progress at Your Own Pace: There’s no rush and no pressure. You set the pace, and I'll meet you there.

• Accountability: Private yoga helps you stay consistent and committed. Knowing that I’ve created a practice just for you — and that I’ll be there to guide and support you — makes it easier to show up for yourself, even on the tough days.

• Support Outside of Yoga Classes: I'm only a WhatsApp message or an email away. Whether you have a question about your practice, need a reminder for a pose we worked on, or just want to share how you're feeling, I’m here to support you between sessions, too.

Here’s what some of my students have shared about their private yoga experience:

✨ “As a result of the private classes I took with Tanja my back pain reduced, sleep improved, and I experienced a newfound sense of ease and fewer migraines. Tanja's expertise in anatomy became evident as week by week, my pain lessened, leading me to feel lighter and more at ease.” -Monia P.

✨ “Before finding Tanja I had steady hip pain. After a few months of yoga practice, it was gone.  I admire Tanja for her sincere view of every part of our body. Her attention to combining physical poses with breathing is inspiring and brings high results.” -Toma Z.

✨ “I am so happy to have had these private classes with Tanja. She was looking for what I needed when I didn't have wishes to work on. She handed out sequences too which are really helpful to keep up with practicing in my daily life now.” -Sara P.

What to Expect in a One-on-One Session

1. We Start with a Conversation

Every session begins with a short check-in. I’ll ask how you’re feeling that day, if anything specific is going on in your body or life, and what you'd like to focus on. This helps me create a safe, supportive, and relevant practice for you.

2. We Move Mindfully

I guide you through a sequence that aligns with your needs — whether that’s building strength, easing tension, increasing mobility, or simply finding space to breathe and reconnect. Expect clear instructions, personalized modifications, and plenty of space to explore.

3. We Pause, Reflect, and Breathe

At the end of the session, we take time to rest and integrate. This might include guided relaxation, breathwork, or a quiet moment to notice how your body feels. You’re always welcome to ask questions or share feedback — your voice matters in this space.

4. You Receive a Personalized Plan

After each session, you’ll receive a short, easy-to-follow plan or sequence to practice at home. This helps you carry the benefits of our work into your everyday life, build consistency, and make meaningful progress between sessions — even when we’re not on the mat together.

Is Private Yoga Right for You?

You might benefit from private yoga if you:

• Are working with a specific injury or health concern

• Want to improve posture, mobility, or strength

• Feel intimidated or distracted in group settings

• Crave a deeper, more personalized connection to your body

• Need a flexible schedule or more privacy in your practice

• Are a beginner and want to learn the basics before joining a group class

Private sessions are also a beautiful way to complement other practices like running, strength training, or simply living a full and busy life. They meet you exactly where you are — and support where you want to go.
