Private Yoga Lessons

Yoga Offerings

I’m Colleen. It’s wonderful to meet you. Thank you for being here and sharing an interest in being a student of yoga.

Maybe you picked up yoga using an app, and now, you have questions. Or you’re coming back to the practice after a break, and you want to invest in learning with someone who can help you work with the body as it is presenting, now. Or maybe you are facing life challenges off the mat, and you want to work with someone who will meet you where you are and offer supportive sequences in the mat. Maybe you’re wanting to build strength and confidence, or need a release valve.

I became a yoga teacher because I wanted to deepen my own understanding of these timeless teachings and share the practices that have made such an impact on my own life with others.

I’m not teaching to show you how to get the body to conform to a certain pose, size, or body type. I’m teaching to offer what I know of these practices in a way that will work with where you are, in the moment, on the mat.

I studied under Stephanie Snyder, Susannah Freedman, and Nacera Mekki of Love Story Yoga in San Francisco to complete my 200 hour yoga teacher training and become a certified and insured yoga teacher.

I teach Vinyasa yoga, which links the breath to movement, and offer private yoga lessons on Zoom tailored to your unique needs. During the pandemic, I am teaching private, one on one lessons, as well as group and corporate classes, on Zoom, live from my home studio.

In each session, we will explore all 8 limbs of yoga while moving through the physical asana poses.

Throughout each session, I will be your guide: cueing the breath, cueing the movements into the pose, and then naming the pose. I will also offer opportunities to consider yoga philosophy and chant.

You will offer your own effort. Ask questions. Move. Engage your muscles, just as they are. Sweat. And very likely laugh.

Prior to your first lesson, we will connect so that I can get an understanding of what you are looking for in our time together, so that I am best able to customize each lesson for you.

All classes are 60 minutes in length, hosted on Zoom at the same time each week.

A few words from clients on their experiences:

"Signing up for Colleen’s private yoga lessons is without a doubt the best thing I’ve done for myself this year. Our weekly sessions were designed with impeccable care, compassion, and attention to where I was at both physically and emotionally. Colleen’s passion for yoga is clear and contagious, and thanks to our work together I feel stronger and more confident than I have in ages."

— Jess, client in NYC
“Colleen’s instruction feels like a master class. Her attentive and intuitive guidance brings me deeper into the poses and into myself. I do a lot of virtual fitness and Colleen is the only guide who leaves me feeling not only physically stronger, but more mentally prepared to tackle my day. Highly recommend!”

— Koty, client in Los Angeles
"This was the first online yoga I have done. Colleen explained everything so clearly, I didn't notice any difference to being in person. Colleen created a sequence to allow for and help to release some shoulder tension I was dealing with, and she was able to create a beautiful space even being on the other side of the world. I highly recommend."

— Ruth Hotson, client on Australia’s Sunshine Coast
& founder of Finding Balance Kinesiology
“As a beginner, Colleen was extremely patient and was accommodating. There were times when I wasn’t able to do certain poses, and she quickly recommended other poses that would target the same muscles & body parts. A lesson with Colleen isn’t just focusing on the physical benefits from yoga but also the mental parts as well. I always look forward to my weekly lesson with Colleen.”

— Erin, client in Maryland
“Yoga with Colleen was a perfect blend of gentle stretching and a few challenging poses that both opened up my flexibility and got me sweating. Her kind and focused guidance worked well for me given that I’m still learning.”

— Graeme, client in San Francisco
