Why private yoga lessons Jersey City
You may be wondering why you would ever want to to try private yoga lessons, you may love the energy of the group, and although you may struggle in that setting, sort of push the question of why try private yoga lessons aside. So perhaps this post will clarify some things. Whatever your training goals are – to increase flexibility, develop strength, enhance your athletic performance, prevent injury or simply improve upon the daily movement requirements of life, you have a certain starting point in terms of a set point posture. As Aristotle said, “We are what we repeatedly do”. Imbalances show up when we do yoga they just do. Learning how to specifically modify or in some cases, omit or replace, one posture for another can be helpful to learn as it will bring us closer to our goals. A private yoga lesson will give you some idea who you are and help you correct these imbalances (and you get a lot of attention, assistance, and to ask questions)…like “how can I do that so—?”
Develop, Deepen and Refine Your Practice:
By finding the right alignment for you (which can be organic) it will :
1. Help you learn the skill involved in sustaining alignment.
2. Take unnecessary struggle out so you cultivate more of a relaxed mind.
3. Make a pose more accessible.
4. Prevent injuries and help old injuries to heal.
5. Create space in the spine and joint stability.
6. Achieve a deeper release of tension as you learn to be in a pose for longer with greater comfort.
7. Promote balance by encouraging weak parts to strengthen and less flexible areas to lengthen.
Current science is showing that gains in flexibility happen when your nervous system is relaxed, not when you yank or pull on your muscles. I encourage you to book an assessment with me to determine what your particular structure and weaker links are so that your yoga meets you where you are. This knowledge will transform your practice to one that is specific to your needs and instead of getting hurt, you will stay safe, healthy or even begin to heal those pesky postural problems. Attending the group classes after you learn from your yoga assessment session how to adjust the postures to meet your goals will turn your YOGA up a notch and into YOGAtherapy
