Yoga is now the need of an hour. It plays a very significant role in day to day life.It helps the individual in solving their physical and mental problems. It aids in reducing stress and tension, facilitates in weight loss and also tones muscles and increases flexibility, strength and stamina.

I think the concept of personalized yoga has a much wider dimensions.It provides a comprehensive set of services with a single objective of being fit and healthy.The personalized yoga classes offers more flexibilities and provides a platform where an individual can extract all the benefits of yoga at their own requirements. Moreover, the online yoga classes could be more beneficiary and a better idea as it gives an opportunity to the individuals to attend and practice yoga at their own convenience.Its a big leap from attending led yoga classes to developing your own yoga home practice.Ultimately,the gist remains the same “Staying fit, Staying healthy”

It is challenging to transition from attending yoga classes to developing a home practice. However that transition is eased by skilled teachers who actually provide instruction to students rather than choreographing “moves” for 75 minutes. And, of course that transition is not at all eased by “yoga teachers” who do not provide the real world tools students need for making said transition.

If by “personalized yoga” we are talking about private sessions, one-on-one, teacher to student…it is an absolutely nourishing engagement when the student is willing and the teacher is well trained and teaches. Merely stamping something as “yoga” or having a private does not necessarily lead to sound teaching, health, wellness, or anything else. But it can
