Whether you're looking to make yoga a part of your daily routine or ready to jump into the transformative Yoga Self-Authoring Program -
Find out why others choose Private Sessions, with a number of tailored paths to help you along the way.
Shaping your practice. Privates can be individual or shared.
Individual Private Sessions provide a personalised and focused approach to your practice, tailored specifically to your goals and needs. These sessions offer a space for undivided attention and a customised experience, making them ideal for those choosing a more attuned development.
While, Shared Private Sessions offer a unique opportunity to fully engage in individual practice, harnessing the collective energy and support of a small group consisting of 2 to 3 participants can offer a sense of community. These shared sessions are available for locals only on application.
Getting it right: an ideal or priority?
Many clients arrive with a profound aspiration to "get it right". While I wholeheartedly embrace this enthusiasm and design my approach to lead you through a step-by-step journey of self-discovery the path to mastery in yoga is not about perfection, it's an ongoing process of self-awareness and self-compassion. Together, we explore and adapt to how your body can work with the nuances of each pose. From this point of origin, developing in your timing, the alignment of your body and the approach within your mind. We celebrate the small victories and cultivate patience, compassion and resilience for the inevitable challenges.
Your approach: how much importance does it play?
Altering the timing of your yoga practice can serve as a powerful catalyst for a different and more profound experience. Each of us carries a default pattern, expressed through the three Gunas (qualities of nature or characteristics) as a slow and heavy (stable) approach, a quick and impatient (vibrant) disposition, or a light and airheaded (spacious) mindset. When we transition to a more balanced and well-paced way of being, it's like rearranging the pieces of a puzzle, creating a harmonious interplay of breath, alignment, movement, and stillness within your practice. This shift introduces a fresh sense of rhythm, revitalising your practice which, in turn, radiates into various aspects of your life.
Unraveling to Rebuild: Nurturing Your Inner Warrior.
Often the conflict is resolved, the comprehension is there, and the pattern is no longer playing out, yet the body still holds the residue of the past. Becoming clear with how the body is holding and which points to focus on to begin to reframe, remap and rebuild becomes the focus.
With yoga practices meticulously tailored to your unique needs and a keen awareness of your body's responses, transformation begins to take shape in areas that seem unknown or impossible. This journey is profoundly liberating and humbling as it guides you toward a more balanced way of moving through life. The old patterns are reframed, bolstering your confidence and enabling you to tap into a more whole space within, ultimately empowering you to confront life's challenges with grace and assurance.
Exploring New Horizons and Embracing the Physical.
Yoga beckons us to expand our horizons by immersing ourselves in transformative asanas, including twists, balances, inversions, and backbends, while refining these qualities through the practice of pranayama.
Some people bring a wealth of life experiences and have cultivated profound spaces for themselves and others. When this capacity is present, the practice is a conscious journey of reuniting the physical self. This is often the case after dedicating oneself to a life's purpose which has meant compromising on physical needs in the process.
This profound work is deeply satisfying as it allows one to reconnect with the physical from a mature perspective, broadening the horizons of what one considers possible in this sphere while integrating mind, body, and spirit.

“I met Kristen shortly after I had done my yoga teacher training, which left me with a few injuries and lots of pain in my body. I believe I would have stopped my yoga journey without her guidance, her incredibly skillful ways of seeing what I needed and explaining in ways, that I could impliment in my practice. Because of the injuries through my previous yoga experiences I was afraid of headstand, shoulderstand as well as other asanas. The yoga with Kristen has taught me to be in tune with the subtleties in my body and after 20 years of working with her, I feel stronger, more confident and clear in what I need in any given moment. Kristen helped me through an incredibly difficult time during perimenopause as well as adrenal fatigue. I have worked with many yoga teachers, but no one is as skilled and in tune with all the subtle aspects of the body as Kristen”
