The Art & Flow of Private Sessions
50 Hour Teacher Training
Fully Self Paced
A STUDENT CENTERED APPROACH
In a private yoga lesson, the content of what is taught should be directed by the student rather than by you, the teacher. This is a big departure from how we approach teaching a group class.
In a private lesson, you teach towards where the student wants to go and how they want to feel. Often, students are unclear about what their intentions are for a private session, or they feel as if they lack enough information to fully describe their longing. Even if it feels hard to figure out, private lessons should have a student-driven approach to yoga class planning.
The framework for this CUE is designed to be entwined with the chakra system to help guide the growth of your private student.
Understanding where your student has congested energy in the body and how it is impacting their minds and emotions is the first step. Then we choose practices and homework to assign the student that will facilitate the disbursement of that energy and allow for personal growth and development.
Your role becomes partially that of a translator. Taking what the student believes they need and aligning it with congested energy in the chakras, then guiding them through a practice that meets them where they are.
In this program you will learn the step by step process of guiding private sessions that feel enriching to your students and fulfilling to your path as a yoga teacher.

Course topics
A condensed overview of the topics covered in this training
* Each week will include a Kriya Practice & Meditation
module ONE: Student Centered Approach to Initiating Growth
Dive into the aspect of teaching 1:1 that is different from group class design.
module TWO: Intake and Assessment
Meeting students where they are comes from knowing what questions to ask during intake. We will also explore our active listening skills and ability to have a plan, while maintaining flexibility.
module THREE: Setting Intentions & Assessing Outcomes
Your student is in charge. This week is all about how to set appropriate goals and how to know if things are moving in a satisfying direction.
module FOUR: Structure of Sessions: Balance and Flow
Too much talking. Not enough movement. Too much movement. Rushing through connection. It is hard to navigate time, so in this module we look at the ways we can best support and surrender.
module FIVE: Boundaries & Ethics
It is important to hold high ethical standards in private sessions. In this section of the program we talk about trauma, healing and strong boundaries.
module SIX: Contracts, Business & Expectations
Here are the business basics, and how to know you are being valued for your time, and your student is getting the value they are seeking.
