Residents in the Uptown, Oak Lawn, Lakewood, East Dallas, Highland Park, University Park and Downtown neighborhoods have a wealth of options for taking that first step onto the yoga mat. Beginner’s Yoga series and classes are all over the map these days.
But have you thought of starting your yoga practice with a private lesson? A private, first-time consultation with a certified yoga instructor provides several benefits you can take into public classes, or continue in a one-on-one environment.
Medical or physiological issues (including injuries, recent surgeries, back & joint pain) should always be addressed with beginning students, even in public classes. A private session gives you the added bonus of being able to address more personal issues such as body image and weight concerns in a completely non-judgemental, private setting.
A few private yoga lessons can also prepare you for faster-paced all-levels public classes where often there isn’t time to slow the pace of the class for beginning students. I’ve heard countless stories of yoga classes where the beginning student felt he’d been whipped through a flow series with no understanding of what his body was supposed to be doing! Take a few one-on-one sessions with an instructor who will break down every pose and work with you on proper alignment, breathwork and who will help develop your understanding of your own yogic anatomy.
