Individual Yoga Lessons or Personal Yoga Therapy
in Bristol


Individual Yoga Lessons for Health Recovery,
Lifestyle Support or Personal Development

In modern life Yoga practice can be applied both
developmentally or therapeutically to enhance health and well being
from many different directions, such as to support our efforts to:

- Positively influence our well-being

- Improve personal fitness levels

- Enhance personal energy levels

- Help mental or emotional stability

- Cope with excessive stress

- Prepare for birth and post-partum.

- Reduce dependency on social
and medical drugs or overeating

- Learn to care for health issues such as
back pain, arthritis, asthma, circulatory
or digestive disorders etc.

However certain situations may be best suited to individual Yoga Lessons
and require practices developed within the privacy of Personal Yoga Tuition.

Private Yoga lessons are available in Bristol for people with specific interests or needs
where the advantages of working with Yoga individually would be more beneficial.
Traditionally Yoga was often taught on an 121 basis and this is still seen as an
important way to explore Yoga practice according to the person and their situation.

Whether your interest is Yoga exercise for fitness, learning Yoga postures or Yoga
breathing techniques for mental and physical health, needing a practice for meditation,
or for Yoga as therapy for body or mind, or a practice tailored to your energy and aims;
one to one lessons offer time to discuss your hopes and issues around
the questions of Yoga practice and what you wish to change.

Individual Yoga lessons also provide an opportunity to adapt and over time develop the Yoga
practice, firstly to respect the Yoga students limitations and then to stretch their abilities.
Here time can be given to exploring the students needs and develop a practice
appropriate to their lifestyle, interest and commitment.

“The target of Yoga is ‘svatantra’
which means to discover our own technique.
‘Sva’ means itself and ‘tantra’ means technique.
The techniques are in oneself and we must discover them;
if not we will depend on others.
I am sick and I go to the doctor;
but finally I must become my own therapist.
This is ‘svatantra’.”
- TKV Desikachar

A personal Yoga practice is designed for regular use at home.
It can vary from a short 10-15 minute practice, usually twice daily,
to more than an hours single practice, depending on its role and how much time
the Yoga student is prepared to make available. Typically, it is around 25 to 50 minutes.

The Yoga Teacher guides the student through the Yoga practice, carefully ensuring that
it meets their needs and that they are comfortable with the structure and forms used.
The frequency and overall span of personal Yoga lessons can vary according
to the needs, concerns and requests of the Yoga student.

The first longer Yoga practice consultation is £50,
thereafter lessons will be £40 for a full Yoga lesson
and £20 for Yoga practice review meetings.

A Yoga Clinic offers a free preliminary half hour consultation with Paul Harvey
in Bristol or near Stroud to discuss your requirements.

Please email Paul to arrange an initial meeting to discuss your needs regarding Yoga
or discuss group Yoga classes, or Individual lessons for personal practice or therapy,
or refer you to a Yoga teacher for classes or lessons.
