PERSONAL YOGA SESSIONS
 
Reduce Pain, Gain Strength, and Learn Yoga With One-on-One Attention in a Practice Created Just for You!
 
Why Personal Yoga sessions? 
  • Perhaps you have a specific issue you would like to work on, such as recovering from an injury or losing weight.  Maybe you want to learn a specific yoga practice, such as inversions (upside-down poses), arm balances, or breathing techniques.  Maybe you feel like group classes just don't include enough personal attention. 
There are lots of reasons to try a personal yoga session, which will provide you with custom-tailored instruction for your needs, goals, body, and abilities.

What is Included in a Personal Yoga Session?
 
  • In a one-on-one session, Lucinda will teach you each pose she recommends, and adjust it so it is perfect for your body.  She will help you delve into your yoga practice with mindfulness and intention.  Each personal yoga session provides plenty of time for you to ask questions and receive answers, and to change or add to the focus of your practice as necessary. 
At the end of your session, you will receive a customized packet, containing photos and detailed, step by step instructions for each pose you practiced, benefits and cautions for each pose, and other information such as mindfulness techniques or instructions for breathing practices.
 
How Often Should I Have a Personal Yoga Session?
 
  • This answer is as unique as you are!  Perhaps you will have just one session to learn a new skill or tools to help you reduce pain or develop strength. 
 
  • If you like, you can come back again to learn more poses that will help you work toward your goal.  In subsequent personal yoga sessions, Lucinda can assess your alignment and body mechanics and make recommendations to improve your body's functioning in the poses.  Lucinda might also recommend more advanced versions of the poses you have been working on, or provide you with tools such as breathing practice and meditation. 
 
  • Yoga practice develops your body, mind, and spirit much the way a baby in the womb grows.  Rather than first growing one limb and then another, a baby's limbs develop bit by bit at the same time.  In the same way, your yoga practice will grow your physical self (strength, stamina and flexibility), your mental self (concentration, focus and determination), and your spiritual self (connectedness to others, a sense of meaning and purpose); little by little but all at the same time. 
 
  • Because of this development, it is important for you to study and observe your practice carefully so you know when you need the guidance of a teacher and more personal yoga instruction.
 
Who Teaches My Personal Yoga Session?
 
  • You'll benefit immensely from personal yoga sessions with Lucinda A. Pepper, certified yoga teacher, Yoga Alliance registered.  With her thorough knowledge of yoga, the anatomy of the body, and movement techniques, she will create a practice designed specifically for your needs.

"Low back discomfort has been a part of my life for over 10 years.  I had quit a labor intensive job at 23, had gotten into a car accident shortly after, wasn't eating well and gained a lot of weight.  Once I decided to take better care of myself everything changed except the back pain.  It would vary from mild discomfort to excruciating.

 

About 4 months ago I started private yoga and bodywork sessions with Lucinda.  She did a full analysis of my physical health situation and provided me with a customized yoga routine that I now do on a daily basis.  It only takes me 10 minutes to do so I can do it every day. 

 

The results have been fantastic!  My flexibility has increased tenfold and my low back pain has disappeared.  So much so that I've recently decided to start running again...something I had to give up because of back pain.  I never realized what a prisoner I was to my own body until the pain was gone.  I really can't believe how this has changed my life."
