A practice designed entirely for you

Private yoga sessions offer a calm, nurturing space where the practice is shaped entirely around you - your needs, your goals, and your pace. Each session draws on the therapeutic principles of yoga, somatic movement and mindful relaxation to create a holistic experience that supports body, mind and breath.

These one-to-one sessions are particularly valuable if you’re looking for a more personal and adaptable approach than a group class can offer. Whether you’re easing tension, rebuilding confidence, or seeking time for deep rest, the practice meets you exactly where you are.

‍

Who might benefit

Private yoga sessions are open to everyone - from complete beginners to those wanting to deepen or refine their practice. They are particularly supportive for people managing stress, anxiety, low mood, menopause symptoms, fatigue, or sleep difficulties, and for anyone returning to movement after illness or injury.

Some clients use their sessions to build physical strength and mobility; others come for emotional balance, calm and clarity. Every session is tailored to your whole self - helping you reconnect to your natural steadiness and ease.

If you are living with a specific health condition or would like a more clinical, integrative approach, Yoga Therapy may be a better fit. We’ll help you decide which option best supports your goals.

‍

What to expect

Your journey begins with a free 15‑minute conversation to explore your aims and discuss how we might work together. The first full session (75–90 minutes) includes gentle assessment, mindful movement, breathwork and relaxation - setting a foundation for your personal practice.

Subsequent sessions build on this, adapting as your needs evolve. You’ll receive a simple home practice after each appointment, often supported by short videos or written notes, to help you continue between sessions.

Sessions are available in person at The Open Practice in Basingstoke, online via Zoom, or occasionally as local home visits by arrangement.
