Private Yoga · Maitland, Florida + Virtual

Your yoga practice should begin with your body—not someone else’s sequence.

Private yoga gives you uninterrupted time to learn, ask questions, and build a practice around your body, experience, breath, goals, and life. Begin from the ground up, deepen an established Ashtanga practice, or return to yoga with thoughtful individual support.

In person or virtual Beginners + experienced students 60- or 90-minute sessions

Yoga becomes clearer when there is time to understand it.
You learn the practice rather than simply follow along.

Individual yoga instruction without the pressure to perform

The session begins with the student—not the sequence.

Private yoga is not reserved for advanced students. It can be the clearest place to begin, a focused way to understand a specific posture or pattern, or the space where a long-term practice becomes more intelligent, personal, and sustainable.

Why choose private yoga?

Different stages of practice need different kinds of attention.

Every session is adapted to what you need that day. The work may be foundational, technical, restorative, contemplative—or a thoughtful combination of all four.

01

Begin yoga with confidence

Learn foundational postures, breathing, transitions, and practice principles without trying to keep up with a room or wondering whether you are doing something correctly.

03

Deepen an established practice

Refine breath, transitions, vinyasa, postures, sequencing, or advanced Ashtanga work with the freedom to slow down and investigate details that group-class time may not allow.

04

Build a personal or home practice

Create a yoga practice you can continue between sessions—at home, while traveling, virtually, or alongside regular Mysore and group classes.

What private yoga can include

Your yoga practice can be taught from more than one doorway.

You do not need to know exactly what style, sequence, or technique you need. Tell Krista what you want to understand or change, and the practice will be organized around the most useful starting point.

01

FoundationsPostures, breathing, transitions, and practice principles taught clearly from the beginning.

02

03

04

05

Breath + AttentionPranayama, meditation, and the inner skills that allow yoga to become more than physical exercise.

Personalized private yoga instruction with Krista Shirley in Maitland Florida
The goal is a practice you understand. What you learn privately should help you practice with greater clarity inside the studio and on your own.

What happens in a private yoga session?

Listen. Learn. Practice. Integrate.

01

We begin with your practice

You share your goals, yoga history, current questions, physical considerations, and what you want the session to help you understand.

02

Krista watches how you practice

Krista observes your breath, transitions, postures, attention, and how you organize effort—not merely how a pose looks.

03

You learn with precision

You receive clear instruction, modifications, repetition, and feedback chosen for your body and the purpose of your yoga practice.

04

You leave with a clearer practice

Depending on your goals, you may leave with a sequence, specific techniques, or clear next steps to continue between appointments.

How often should you come?

There is no single correct schedule.

Frequency depends on whether private yoga is your primary practice, whether you also attend Mysore or group classes, and how much continuity is useful for your goals, time, and budget.

Weekly or multiple times per week

Private yoga as your primary practice

Useful when you are beginning from the ground up, want close continuity, or prefer fully individualized yoga instruction.

Monthly

Private guidance alongside Mysore or group classes

A dedicated appointment can answer questions, refine technique, or help you work more intelligently in your regular yoga practice.

As needed

Occasional check-ins and focused questions

Meet every few months, before learning something new, or whenever a posture, transition, or practice question needs more time.

Common questions

Before you book.

No. Private yoga is often one of the most comfortable ways to begin because the teaching can move at your pace from the first minute.

Sixty minutes works well for most ongoing sessions. Ninety minutes allows more space for a first appointment, complex history, detailed assessment, multiple questions, or a slower pace.

Private yoga can offer more time to observe movement, adapt the practice, and rebuild confidence. It is yoga instruction—not medical diagnosis or treatment—and should complement guidance from your healthcare professionals when appropriate.

Private appointments are matched according to the support you are seeking, instructor availability, and the modality involved. Email Krista with your goals and she will help coordinate the appropriate next step.

Yes. Virtual private yoga is available through Zoom and works well for sequencing, technique, home-practice guidance, breathwork, and ongoing check-ins.

Not sure how to begin private yoga?

Start by telling Krista what you want from your practice.
