Renee's Cats at Yoga Session![]() R.K. What was it, when you tried the group classes, that you felt like you weren’t receiving that you needed?
L.B. Well, I found the instructors to be very good, but there was a quality missing…and maybe it was that responsiveness to people that I was just referring to…and sometimes the classes are too big for people to respond. So, that’s when I started thinking I really need that personal interaction. R.K. Now that you’ve shared what you felt was missing for you from the group class experience, can you speak more specifically to what else you wanted from private yoga sessions? L.B. Well, to fully know that each time you have a lesson, your body might not be in the same mood or your body might not be ready for the exact same thing, (as other people) so with the private sessions, it’s personalized and tailored to what you need that day. L.B. It’s been a very soothing experience. And in my hectic, overly busy life, it was really relieving to know I was going to have a yoga practice without having to run out and drive somewhere, look for parking, and then have to drive again afterwards. So it was very calming because of your manner, but also because after you left, I could just relax and enjoy what I’d just been through. R.K. What would you like to add about other advantages to private yoga in the home? L.B. Well, there’s things like being able to adjust the temperature! To have it be exactly what I want it to be. Also, I feel comfortable speaking up if I don’t feel capable or ready to do something, and we can change direction and move on to something else that I am capable of doing and know I enjoy. It’s both about the in-house yoga, but also about you teaching, the combination of those things made it very soothing. It helped me to feel like I was finally back into movement and taking care of myself a little bit. There’s just no beating that individual attention. R.K. One of the other things that I’ve gotten feedback about from other clients in relation to their motivation for seeking private yoga is that they are experiencing a lack of confidence, either because they are a beginner, are out of practice, or have had an injury that has affected their mobility or range of motion. Does that resonate with you at all? R.K. So, we’ll come back to that again in a bit. For now, since we’ve been working together for close to a year, can you reflect upon what the experience has been like for you? L.B. For me, it was not having practiced in a long time. It was really the first time I had gone as long as I had without practicing at least on my own. So I really wanted it to help me get motivated to practice on my own again…which it did do, the experience in my own house made it easier to do it in my own house again. R.K. So it was that “friendly kick in the butt” that got you going? L.B. (laughs) Yes! Are you going to quote yourself in the article saying that? R.K. (laughing) We’ll see….so another thing that I have noticed with my client’s is that they often feel more comfortable in a 1:1 environment talking more openly about their health history that they might not share with a teacher in a class. |
