Are you looking to cultivate a nurturing relationship with your-Self? Do you experience mental health challenges, anxiety, or depression, or are you a trauma survivor? Are you feeling tired, frustrated, un-centred, un-grounded, or in need of some support?
I can support you with Therapeutic Yoga, TCTSY (Trauma sensitive yoga), Meditation, Breath work, Energy work, or even a combination.
Together we can work with your individual goals and needs. If you wish to develop a home yoga/meditation practice, I can support you with that too.
Yoga can assist with those areas that may have been holding you back in some way; issues such as past injuries, tension, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, confidence-levels, body-image, breathing issues, digestive issues, motivation, and more.
Perhaps you wish to develop a yoga practice for your mind-body wellbeing?
Perhaps you are totally new to Yoga and would like personalised support?
I am here to listen and to support you.
The word “Yoga” means to unite. Specifically, to unite our bodies with our minds and our souls. When we are in harmony in this way within ourselves, we also feel greater connection with the world around us – other living beings, and with our earth.
Who are private sessions for?
I believe that if you are alive and breathing you are able to practice and benefit from Yoga. Flexibility is definitely not a pre-requisite. Your body shape doesn’t matter. Your level of fitness doesn’t matter.
Perhaps you are looking to bring a sense of calm and peace into your life, with meditation, or breathing practices, or Restorative Yoga, or Reiki.
We can chat first so we can discover together the practices that will be ideal for you. There is no “one size fits all”.
There is a short health assessment form sent to you by email once you book. We also have a detailed discussion in the first session together.
Where and when?
Lessons can be booked for once a week, once a fortnight, or however suits your schedule.
Sessions can be held ONLINE using zoom, wherever you are in the world, or IN PERSON at my home yoga studio in Lilydale. Make your choice when you book.
What could we cover together in private lessons?
Here are some examples…
- Meditation – learn to meditate, or develop or deepen your existing meditation practice.
- Yoga Asana – postures, sequences, mindful movement that will be beneficial for you, your body and your mind, whether you are looking for strength, flexibility, balance, improved posture, or improved breathing.
- Restorative Yoga – supported by yoga props such as bolsters, blocks and blankets, I can assist you to learn and experience a gentle opening, stillness, and quiet which is very meditative and perfect to calm the nervous system.
- Chakra Cleansing – powerful practices to help you balance and strengthen your own chakras.
- Pranayama – we can practice breath-work techniques that are right for your body, and mind and energy.
- Yoga Nidra – a guided relaxation and meditation practice which I can tailor to you and your circumstances/thoughts/opportunities.
- Reiki – as a qualified level two reiki practitioner, I can help you to calm and centre with the healing power of reiki.
I’ve been taking personal yoga classes and cannot speak highly enough of Karen. My sessions are tailored to my restrictions and any needs on the day. I always leave feeling calm, relaxed and empowered to continue my practice at home. Being new to yoga; it has helped me in so many ways and I always enjoy my sessions. Karen is not only a great teacher; she is caring and genuine.– Kim Reed, private yoga student
My husband and I saw Karen for private lessons as absolute beginners. I have to say that the experience has left me feeling empowered. I have a new found appreciation and awareness of not only my body but of everything around me. Thank you Karen for introducing us to the beautiful world of yoga and for your invaluable support and guidance both in and out of our sessions. My only regret is that we didn’t find you sooner. We can’t wait to come back for more sessions.– Tracey Chapman, private yoga student
For “In-person” sessions, should you be feeling unwell, or have any cold/flu symptoms, or if you have a fever, you can switch to a zoom session or reschedule your appointment. Please BYO yoga mat and blanket.
