Private Yoga Instruction
Work one-on-one with the owner and founder of Grounded By Yoga,Sandy Hicks. Private instruction is useful in developing a home practice
and in learning to adapt group class postures to serve your individual needs. Useful for individuals who want to practice yoga at home or those
who have special health concerns or injuries.

Our private clients typically have one of 3 goals:

Home Practice Development: Students frequently want to practice yoga more often than they can come to group classes. Practicing at
home is a useful and cost effective supplement to group classes at the studio. A home practice consultation includes evaluation of your personal
goals, strategizing how to make your practice consistent, and a written practice plan. Sandy guides you through the practice once so you leave
familiar with how to practice on your own safely and effectively. Home practice consultations are most effective when done in conjunction with
group yoga classes.

Personalized Yoga Coaching: Group class students frequently benefit from personalized help to deepen their yoga practice. Coaching
sessions include feedback on how to properly perform yoga postures and adaptations for the client's individual goals and body. Students who
have attended coaching sessions report that the sessions help them make huge strides in improving their yoga practice.

Special Needs Instruction: Some individuals have needs that are not met by group classes. Sandy is trained to work one on one with
students who have a variety of needs. Examples of past client issues include:
Pre-natal yoga,  stress management, sports training,
managing menopausal symptoms, arthritis, Seniors, infertility, addiction, cancer recovery, Cerebral Palsy, and Multiple
Sclerosis. Sandy also works with individuals with neck, back
, and other acute and chronic physical injuries. Restorative Yoga is highly
recommended for those with no experience or with high levels of stress.

Special needs instruction is best when done in a series of at least 4 sessions. Many students have a workable plan after 4 sessions. Others
prefer to continue working one on one with Sandy indefinitely.
