Which yoga class is Right for you?
A guide to In-Person, Group and Private Sessions
1
Private Sessions
(online and offline)
Joining a private online yoga class can be a fantastic choice. Here are several reasons why it might be right for you:
-
A private instructor tailors the class to your body, goals, experience level, and can adapt poses for injuries, mobility issues.
-
The instructor can guide you through personalized meditation and breathwork that aligns your mental and emotional goals, not just physical ones.
-
You can arrange sessions at times that fit your lifestyle, early morning, late evening, weekends, etc.
-
Practice in your own space, free from judgment or comparison.
-
Ideal if you’re shy about group settings or prefer a calm, familiar environment
-
This makes it easier to maintain consistency, especially with a busy or unpredictable schedule.

Online Group Classes
Here are reasons why choosing yoga online group sessions can be a smart choice, despite potential drawbacks like less personal attention or screen fatigue:
-
You can join from anywhere, no commute, no packing, no scheduling around travel time.
-
You save on travel expenses or parking.
-
Practice in your own environment, wear what you like, set your own temperature, and use your own mat.
-
Great for beginners who may feel shy or self-conscious in a studio setting.
-
Practicing online encourages more self-guided awareness since an instructor is not constantly adjusting you. You learn to listen to your body more deeply and cultivate independence in your practice.

In-Person Yoga
(in Guildford)
Attending in-person yoga classes can be a deeply enriching experience, physically, mentally, and socially. While online classes are convenient, there are several unique benefits to practicing with a live instructor:
-
- In-person, a teacher can observe your form and make immediate adjustments, helping prevent injury and deepen your practice, and can tailor cues to your body type, flexibility, or energy level.
-
- A physical yoga space encourages you to disconnect from distractions, e.g., no phone notifications, emails, or household chores.
-
- You’ll meet like-minded people, which can lead to friendships or simply a stronger feeling of belonging.
-
- You can ask questions before or after class, explore advanced poses safely, and learn from observing others.
What students say...
"A yoga session with Alana is a beautiful blend of gentle care, spiritual depth, and a full, nourishing physical practice. After our classes, my lower back pain disappeared completely, as if it had been lifted by hand.
In our one-to-one session, Alana listened carefully to my needs and focused exactly on what was most important for me. We practiced online during my lunch break, and for me, as a mum of a small child, that was a real lifeline. Finding time for an in-person class after work or on weekends is nearly impossible, but this was convenient, effective, and filled with genuine care."
