Moving Into Stillness Private yoga and somatics tuition

Private Yoga Tuition

Collaborate with Denise to uncover a movement practice that aligns perfectly with your unique needs.

In the world of yoga, it’s easy to become fixated on performance, measuring your progress against preconceived notions of success rather than tuning into what truly resonates with your body and mind. A private yoga session offers the opportunity to learn how to adapt your practice based on your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs each time you step onto the mat.

“The study of asana is not about mastering posture, it’s about using posture to understand and transform yourself.”

– B.K.S. Iyengar

What To Expect

Private yoga tuition upholds the historical yoga tradition of imparting knowledge on a one-to-one basis rather than in a large group class. Each session is thoughtfully customized to your individual rhythm, enabling you to cultivate a deeper awareness of your own needs and boundaries. Under Denise’s expert guidance, you will learn to attune to your body, fostering a nurturing relationship with yourself that extends beyond the mat. This personalized approach not only elevates your yoga practice but also enriches your overall well-being, empowering you to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and confidence.

Bespoke sessions are available as one-to-one, two-to-one or small groups and may include varying combinations of the following:

Movement assessment
Somatic Movement
Therapeutic yoga practice
Pranayama and breathwork
Relaxation/meditation
Nidra.

Private Tuition FAQs

How do I know if I need a private session instead of a group class?

If you’re recovering from injury, navigating stress or trauma or want to build confidence before joining a class, private tuition can be a great starting point.

Can I book a one-off session, or is it better to commit to a series?

You’re welcome to try a single session first. For deeper support or lasting change, a short series is often more effective.

What kind of support do you offer between sessions, if any?

This depends on your needs and goals for the sessions. You may receive recordings, or check-ins between sessions to help you stay on track, but this will be discussed when you make an enquiry.

How are sessions tailored to individual needs or goals?

Each session is shaped around your body, mind, lifestyle and how you feel when you arrive for each session. We’ll discuss your intentions but do bear in mind, a private session is designed to bring you into balance and for this to happen you must be prepared to to defer to Denise’s recommendations in the moment.

Joanna's experience

I have seen many osteopaths, chiropractors and physiotherapists over the years for long-term, ongoing pain in my lower back, groin and shoulder but have never experienced any lasting affect until I worked with Denise. I have been seeing Denise for well over a year now and with her guidance and vast knowledge, I have learnt and am still learning to manage my symptoms with somatic movements. It has been the best therapy for me because it is gentle, yet effective. Not only is my pain managed, but I feel a lot calmer and less anxious in my life through my yoga sessions with Denise. It’s like therapy.

Charles' experience

I tried yoga over the years and each time was disappointed. My wife suggested a few sessions with Denise. I was sceptical due to previous experiences but with over a year of weekly classes with Denise, I am more flexible than ever before, with such mental clarity, that not only do I do yoga, I now live and breathe it. Being introduced to Denise has really changed my life for the better.

Lauren's experience

I had a wonderful one to one, online session with Denise which was incredibly helpful and effective. She assessed me and then proceeded to direct me through somatic movements and after the session I was pain free from my chronic conditions and my posture was corrected. Denise also gifted me tools to help myself – increased awareness of my body and an understanding of somatic movements and their benefits.
I am hugely grateful, to Denise and somatic movement, which has and continues to change my life, for the better.

Jean's experience

I have facial and neck dystonia and struggle to still my mind and breathe effectively. Having sessions with Denise, has enabled me to calm my mind, relax my body and given me some life changing support and advice to help me manage my symptoms. Denise is fantastic!
