Working on-one-one or in small groups gives you the undivided attention of your practitioner ensuring proper technique in execution and elicits an understanding of intent and goals to maximize the effectiveness of the work you are doing. Whether for general health or in response to injury or a condition, it is the perfect way to ensure you are ‘doing things properly’, that you remain aligned with your goals, and benefit from expertise derived from more than 2 decades of study and practice.
In a private setting, we can offer sessions in a variety of forms of Yoga (Power, Vinyasa, Hatha, Restorative, Ashtanga, Pre-natal, Post-natal), Pilates (mat, props, equipment, special populations), and also for rehab including balance training.
“I saw Lisa for a herniated disc injury. She combines pilates and yoga instruction with a deep knowledge of back anatomy and physiology. I was terrified of re-injury. She was confident and directed during my rehab, knowing exactly the exercises that I needed to do to get relief. She never pushed too far, nor too fast. She built the muscles around the injury, teaching me how not to re-injure myself. I have worked with many physiotherapists as well as other pilates and yoga instructors over 30 years. I have never met a practitioner that I trust more than Lisa.”
Privates and Semi-Privates (up to 3 people)
Privates are one-on-one scenarios, whereas semi-privates can consist up to 3 people. Some of our students are rehabilitating injuries, have a condition that may make taking a group class challenging due to the unpredictability of their condition, others have specific goals they seek to accomplish or even specific times they want to practice at. We have students that really want to understand the technique of the practices and others simply feel more comfortable in a private setting. During private and semi-private sessions the studio is reserved for you/your party and your instructor, there will not be any other privates running at the same time and for this reason (as well as our strong reputation) a number of celebrities and high profile individuals have also graced our space in complete confidentiality.
“When I came to see Lisa for a herniation in my lumbar spine, it was after several other practitioners with whom I had no success. I couldn’t stand still or I would be in tremendous pain. She was able to identify how to resolve my pain with a personally tailored Yoga practice within 2 weeks. I continued to work with Lisa first as rehab and then as a preventative measure. She continuously checked in to see how each movement felt for me, carefully modifying and tweaking the poses as necessary to accommodate where I was, each step of the way. I can’t thank you enough!”
Private Groups (4 people or more)
You may book your group in just as you would a private session and enjoy the privacy of our fully equipped studio for your groups goals. It has been a fun way for many to spend quality and productive time with family and friends. Whether you are looking to do just a single session or a regular weekly affair, for fun or in preparation for an event (or to recover from an event), we are happy to cater to your needs.
“I just want to pause to say how much I appreciate your approach wrt our wellness journeys; for me it is absolutely the best encouragement to keep going as best we can and within our limits, whatever those may be at any given time. Awesome you! 😊”
