5 Benefits of Private Yoga Classes
Group yoga classes are great but why should you consider going for private yoga classes? Today’s blog post provides 5 key benefits of private yoga classes, so you can start deepening your practice straight away.
Yoga is a popular form of exercise in the West nowadays, with people turning to this ancient practice for its physical and mental benefits. Yoga offers a multitude of benefits, which include increased strength and flexibility, reduced stress, and increased self-awareness and emotional well-being.
Group yoga classes are a great way to experience the energy of a class of students, connect with like-minded people, and be inspired by yoga teachers and other students alike. Although yoga classes are often “levelled” and differentiate between beginners, intermediate and advanced practitioners, they are often still quite general.
On the other hand, private yoga classes offer a more personalised approach to yoga that can help you practice more effectively and with better outcomes for yourself. In this blog post, we’ll explore the main benefits of private yoga classes, and why you should consider investing in them.
1. Personalised Attention
One of the biggest benefits of private yoga classes is the personalised attention you receive from your yoga teacher. In a group class, the teacher has to cater to the needs of many students with varying levels of experience and abilities and often with less time to approach each student individually.
However, in a private session, the teacher can focus entirely on you, your body, and your unique needs. This means that you’ll get individualised instruction, feedback, and modifications that help you to practice more effectively and deepen your practice in a way that best suits you.
A private yoga class can, for example, focus on specific poses or areas of your body that require specific attention. Maybe you suffer from lower back pain and want that to be the focus of the class, or you have set yourself the challenge to master crow pose and need specified tips for how to get there. In a private yoga class, we can discuss at length what your current needs and expectations are and how I can best support you.

2. Customised Practice
In a private yoga class, I can customise the yoga practice to your specific needs and preferences. Whether you want to focus on strength, flexibility, stress relief, or meditation, your private yoga teacher can design a practice that is tailored to your goals. As a result, you can work on the areas of your practice that are most important to you, rather than being limited to the same sequence of poses as everyone else in the class.
For example, if you want to improve your flexibility in the hamstrings, I can, as your private yoga teacher, incorporate movements and poses that target the hamstrings and will have you feeling loser. Or, if you’re dealing with stress, I can design a practice that incorporates more calming and grounding poses to help you relax and find relaxation.

3. Convenient and Flexible
On top of the previously mentioned benefits, private yoga classes offer greater flexibility and convenience than group classes. You can schedule the sessions at a time that is convenient for you, and you can choose the location – whether that’s your home, office, or a local studio. This is particularly beneficial for people with busy schedules, who may struggle to fit in regular group classes.
In your private yoga class, you can also decide what timeframe fits your needs. Maybe a 60-minute session is prefect for your busy day, or maybe you want to take more time for yourself and your practice with a full 90-minute class.
In addition, private classes can be more efficient than group classes. With no distractions or interruptions, you can focus entirely on your practice and enjoy the benefit of more calmness. This may help you relax better and detach from the ego, as there are no other students to ‘compare’ your practice with or maybe a feeling of ‘having to do’ poses a certain way, just because others in the class are.

4. Accelerated Learning
With private yoga classes, you can accelerate your learning and progress more quickly than in a group class. The one-on-one attention and personalised instruction means that you can focus on specific areas of your practice that you want to improve. This can help you to advance more quickly, deepen your practice in a way that really serves you, and allow you to start a more informed home and self-practice.
For example, if you want to work on a specific pose, I can give you individualised instruction and feedback to help you get there. Or, if you’re new to yoga, I will teach you the basics and help you build a strong foundation for your practice, which allows you to practice yoga with confidence and in alignment.

5. Personal Connection
Finally, private yoga classes offer a unique opportunity to build a personal connection with your teacher. Unlike in a group class, where you may not have much one-on-one interaction with the teacher, in a private session, you can build a relationship with your yoga teacher, which can deepen your practice and help you to achieve greater results for your practice and well-being.
Having a personal connection with your yoga teacher can also help you feel more comfortable and confident in your practice. You can ask questions, share your concerns, and get individualised support that can help you overcome challenges in your practice.
