Before your first online yoga session, a common question arises: how can the teacher guide and assist you from the other side of the screen? Effective online work relies on clear video connection, a complete view of your movements, and ongoing verbal communication during practice.
How We Begin
We agree on a convenient time in advance. For the session, you will need a yoga mat, a stable internet connection, and a phone or computer with a camera. Position your device so I can see your entire body, both standing up and lying on the mat. If the angle isn’t right, we adjust the camera position first.
Our introduction happens through a complete initial practice. You don't need to memorize asana names in advance or demonstrate a specific level of flexibility.
How Feedback Works
I observe your movement execution and provide real-time verbal guidance on adjusting alignment, direction, or movement amplitude. You can pause at any moment to ask questions or mention if a movement feels uncomfortable.
Video format has inherent limits: I only see what enters the frame and cannot physically support or touch you. Therefore, clear video visibility and your personal sensation feedback are essential when adjusting exercises and intensity.
What Happens During the 60-Minute Session
My mentorship combines dynamic sequences, static postures, strength work, breathwork, meditation, and relaxation. Their balance adapts based on your preparation, current state, and goals.
If you need a calmer practice today, we shift the focus. If you have energy for a more active session, we select appropriate progressions. Difficulty increases gradually, and complex arm balances or handstands are optional extensions for interested practitioners, not a mandatory standard.
Who Benefits from This Format
Online sessions allow you to practice from home or continue uninterrupted sessions while traveling with the same teacher. All you need is sufficient space to move and dedicated time without constant interruptions.
You can take a single trial session first to experience the format and decide if it suits you.
