The Art & Flow of Private Sessions
50 Hour Teacher Training
SUNDAYS 11AM - 1PM EST
April 13 - May 18, 2025
A STUDENT CENTERED APPROACH
In a private yoga lesson, the content of what is taught should be directed by the student rather than by you, the teacher. This is a big departure from how we approach teaching a group class.
In a private lesson, you teach towards where the student wants to go and how they want to feel. Often, students are unclear about what their intentions are for a private session, or they feel as if they lack enough information to fully describe their longing. Even if it feels hard to figure out, private lessons should have a student-driven approach to yoga class planning.
The framework for this 50-hour CUE is designed to be entwined with the chakra system to help guide the growth of your private student.
Understanding where your student has congested energy in the body and how it is impacting their minds and emotions is the first step. Then we choose practices and homework to assign the student that will facilitate the disbursement of that energy and allow for personal growth and development.
Your role becomes partially that of a translator. Taking what the student believes they need and aligning it with congested energy in the chakras, then guiding them through a practice that meets them where they are.
In this SIX WEEK LIVE program you will learn the step by step process of guiding private sessions that feel enriching to your students and fulfilling to your path as a yoga teacher.
