Group yoga classes are a rather new phenomenon.  Traditionally, yoga was taught on one one. The great ancient teachers understood the importance of individualizing each yoga experience to meet the needs of the student. Today, a private session allows for a more intimate view into your practice. You can start a new practice, deepen your practice or spend some time working with an injury or condition.  One  on one, you can experience the benefits of yoga in a safe, personal way. Tamara offers both private yoga classes as well as yoga therapy sessions. These sessions can be scheduled at the studio, off-site or internationally via Skype.

PRIVATE YOGA CLASSES  for you or your group ( 60 min/ 90 min.)  are  an invaluable tool   to address your goals and work on areas of individual interest.  These sessions  can help you deepen your practice, gain confidence, ask questions ,receive  guidance  on proper alignment so as to avoid injury and have a practice tailored to your needs.

PRIVATE YOGA THERAPY SESSIONS:
Yoga therapy adapts the practice of Yoga with a wide range of mind/body  practices, from postural and breathing exercises to deep relaxation and meditation to the needs of people with specific or persistent health problems not usually addressed in a group class. It helps to promote all-round positive health, as well as assisting particular medical conditions. The therapy is particularly appropriate for many chronic conditions that persist despite conventional medical treatment.
Sessions can be enjoyed off-site, at our beach retreat in Chuburna Puerto or anywhere in the world via Skype. I will help you create a Yoga practice and provide you with practical tools suited to your needs to apply on a daily basis to achieve more balance and joy in your life. You may choose from Integrative Yoga Therapy Sessions or Ayuryoga  Sessions.

AYURYOGA PRIVATE SESSIONS:
While it is entirely possible to practice  one without the other, the  union of Yoga & Ayurveda brings a  complete holistic approach to healing. Ayuryoga is a personalized approach to yoga , based on your constitution with the purpose of  bringing  you back to a state of balance.  One of the principles of Ayurveda states that  like increases like, and opposites balance so you may  actually be drawn to a yoga practice that will increase the qualities that are already predominant in your nature thus bringing about more imbalance.  Ayuryoga  gives you the tools to  modify your yoga practice based on your individual Prakruti (innate constitution), Vikruti (current constitution) which changes according to season, diet and more.  The individual Ayuryoga sessions provide you with the tools to modify your yoga practice using simple ayuryoga modifications. These tools can be implemented into your current studio yoga practice or personal home practice. A sequence of 3-5  classes is usually sufficient to learn your personalized  sequence.

Initial  Consultation ( 90 min) includes:
After understanding your  unique  body-mind constitution, a yoga sequence will be created unique to your constitution. An individual class includes a health assessment to determine your Prakruti (innate constitution) and Vikruti (current constitution) followed by a customized summary of an Ayuroga sequence.

Follow Up Sessions:
Each class is customized based on how the person is feeling that day, the season, current diet and more.
