Private Yoga | Kripalu Yoga, Sivananda Yoga, and Nia classes and private lessons in Knoxville, TN
Private yoga sessions are the ideal way to integrate a practice of yoga, meditation, and guided relaxation into your daily life.
Personalized yoga can help you as part of an overall program for weight loss as well as cut through mental, emotional, and spiritual weights holding you back from peak performance in any area of your life.
Many people come to private yoga looking for an alternative to getting a personal trainer, looking for fitness of the whole person. On the physical level, mental level, even spiritual and fiscal, yoga can bring positive and lasting change.

It’s Yoga Your Way
If it’s been awhile since you’ve exercised, there’s no better way to get started than with yoga, and no better time than now.
Yoga is no-impact, meaning it doesn’t pound your joints. And working one-on-one with me, you’ll “start where you are” and progress from there. Sure, we’ll set goals. But it’s the journey, not the destination, that is most important.
Here’s what I mean. Using yoga tools and techniques that are thousands of years old, you can start loving your life today — you don’t have to wait until you look a certain way or weigh a certain amount.
Enjoy building strength and agility, flexibility and balance, concentration and ease. Now.
This is yoga your way — coming home to yourself, starting today.
Who are private sessions for?
Private sessions are tailor-designed to meet and exceed your needs.
Generally speaking, people come to me because…
…they’re out of shape, need to lose weight, and they’re just not into gyms…
…they would like to exercise and enjoy the other aspects of yoga like meditation and stress relief, but they’re strapped for time…
…they’re looking for a deeper practice or they’re developing a home routine and need guidance…
…they have injuries, health issues, or other special needs that make group classes unsuitable, possibly even embarrassing.
Private sessions are also ideal for couples who want instruction in partner yoga, and families who want a constructive activity to do together.
I work with people who have fibromyalgia, depression, addictions, panic, anxiety, bipolar, and so on to create a series of postures especially suited for your specific needs and to work with the organs and energy centers particularly affected by your condition.
(Read my fibromyalgia article.)
I listen to any problems you may be facing in everyday life to design a series of postures for you to release energy from the past that may free you from a cycle of negative thinking or break you out of habits that no longer serve you.
I do not give advice. I simply listen, then create and hold a safe space for your transformation to occur.
Wait a Second… Can Yoga Really Help Me Lose Weight?
Yes, if you keep at it (and do the other stuff like eat right and get enough sleep), and I’ll be there to help you.
We’ll work together, one-on-one. First and foremost we’ll focus on relaxation and self-worth. Sometimes stress alone can keep the pounds on. And by accepting yourself you open the door to true self-nurturing and care.
Over the following weeks we’ll gradually build up to a safe, vigorous practice to burn out your body’s impurities and melt off stored calories.

What does it cost?
The smallest package is $75 an hour for 12 one-hour sessions. (Larger packages are a better bargain, as low as $50 an hour.) That’s $900 for 12 sessions and not exactly cheap, I know. But I won’t apologize for it. If it’s not in your budget, it’s not in your budget and I’ll hope to see you in a group class sometime soon.
I won’t insult you with price justification, either, saying “what price would you put on your health” and all that high-pressure sales garbage. I could go on and on about how I lived and studied in India and Nepal at the feet of the masters, how I’ve invested thousands in my education and training, and though that’s true, that’s not why my price is what it is.
Here’s the reason, pure and simple: I have yet to be asked to work with someone privately on an issue that could really and truly be dealt with in 2, 3, even 6 sessions. So I’m asking for a commitment of your time and your money up front. And though I get paid in the process, the real long-term commitment is to yourself. So you can get your strength, flexibility, balance, and contentment back.
And once you commit, the money you spend will make sure you follow through — for your own health’s sake.
You get a free consultation before you sign anything so you can enjoy a taste of what personalized yoga can do for you. There’s no obligation, and no high-pressure sales tactics.
