ESTABLISH YOUR OWN HOME PRACTICE: Have you always wanted to do yoga on your own at home, perhaps on days in between your group classes or perhaps because you are unable or prefer not to participate in group classes. In this one-on-one series of four 90-minute sessions you will learn to eliminate the “all or nothing” mindset that makes a home practice seem daunting, build a foundational sequence, and learn ways to alter your foundational sequence to introduce some variation or to change its length to fit your available time on any given day.
