Introducing Skype yoga sessions – private yoga lessons customized for your body

I teach hatha yoga classes in Goa, but lots of you are far away and wish you could practice with me. Well, I am excited to announce that I will now be offering private yoga sessions via Skype!

Ready to try yoga but don’t have a “yoga body”? Or maybe you’ve been intimidated by the idea of showing up at a yoga studio. If you are recovering from an injury, have a hard time getting up and down off the floor, have a large body, or just want to try yoga in a low-pressure, judgment-free environment – Think Positive Live Well was created just for you.

Skype yoga sessions offer a brand new method of practicing yoga. I want to feel connected with you and make sure we can work with your unique body to offer modifications and sequences that work for you, which is why I like to work interactively instead of with a book or DVD.

We video chat (via Skype) with our computers or devices set up on a table. I’ll lead you through sequences by verbal cues and visually demonstrating the postures. You are empowered to make corrections on your own via verbal cues, which is key to your growth as a yogi and an empowered human being!

How does it work?

I’ll send you a questionnaire which will help me get an idea of where you are and what you’re looking for. I’ll be able to know if you’re a brand new beginner, if you’re just looking for modifications that work for your body, what sorts of limitations you may have, mobility issues, chronic pain, and other information that’s helpful to me. I’ll also be able to tell right away if Skype consultations aren’t a good fit for us (but most of the time, they will be).

Once I have that information and know what type of sessions you’re looking for, I’ll send a waiver for you to sign and send back, and then we’ll schedule a session at your convenience! Here are some ideas of what our session together could look like:

• I can walk you through a basic yoga sequence, which I’ll also
• email to you. You can practice the sequence at home, or attend a yoga studio for the first time with confidence.
• I can customize a daily morning practice for you, we’ll go through it together and then you can do it on your own!
• We can troubleshoot specific issues you’re having with certain postures, and I can help you find modifications for your body.
• We could go over the use of props for safe alignment and freedom in yoga.
• We can explore vinyasa, and work up a customized flow for you to use at home.
• We might investigate alternate options for poses you find difficult in the classes you normally attend.
• 
  
• The possibilities are endless!
