Private Instruction
Private Asana
A private asana session is suitable for multiple reasons. Private sessions benefit those who are unsure of entering the public setting yet, for those with very specific concerns and questions about their body, and for those who would like more one-to-one attention and time to ask questions. One-on-one time with a qualified teacher is a rare gift. Numerous physical assists will take place customized to your particular body type resulting in affects similar to a full-body massage. Through working privately with a teacher, you can better understand your body and and bring your practice back into the public setting. Those teachers with training in Thai Yoga Therapeutics will also offer this in Shavasana (final relaxation) with healing aromatherapy & light touch if requested.
Private Yoga Sessions (built to suite)
A private yoga session can focus on numerous aspects of yoga, which includes the physical body but are not limited to it. One could request a private yoga session based fully on Buddhist philosophy for example, or inquire about meditation techniques with personal teachings on mantra, or energy clearing (reiki) & understanding of subtle anatomy (the chakras) or Bhakti yoga with teachings of the various melodic songs, the art of vocalization, Sanskrit practice and harmonium lessons.
Private Group Settings for all ages, from Children’s Yoga to Group Adult Yoga Parties to pre-wedding yoga are also a fun way to experience healthy social settings together at Swan River or in your own personal home, party, or business.
In-class Privates (ICP)
Traditionally, yoga was taught one on one—one teacher teaching one student at a time. In modern times, yoga is more often taught in group classes. The Jivamukti Yoga In-Class Private (or ICP) is a unique way to experience both methods of teaching: the student and his or her private certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher together attend a regular group class. From beginning to end, the student practices with the hands on assists of their private teacher, who safely guides them through every minute of the class insuring correct alignment in all asanas as well as deep understanding of all other components of the class (e.g., breathing practices, chanting, etc.). ICPs always conclude with a special deep relaxation yoga massage in shavasana. This is the ultimate yoga class experience. An ICP can be adapted to and given in almost any class at Swan River Yoga. The most popular classes in which to receive an ICP is one of our flow-based classes: Jivamukti Open, Swan River Yoga Open, or Swan River Yoga Slaughter Style.
Please contact Thomas – thomasQSims@swanriveryoga.com to schedule an ICP with one of our Jivamukti Yoga teachers.

Dharma Counseling with Keith Porteous
Beginning with a traditional counseling exchange of sharing and reflection, these customized sessions will move into a led meditation specifically designed to address concerns which need honoring and processing. Restorative yoga with sung mantra relative to the student’s concerns may also be used. Each session is unique and will build on the one before. Some “homework” in the form of journaling may be recommended at the end of the session. The goal of these sessions is not weekly therapy but a specific period of time to honor concerns and hone tools with which one can practice anywhere at any time. Using led meditations from Tibetan Buddhism, these sessions offer a safe, confidential, setting in support of the student’s personal journey. Shared philosophy study of an ancient text may be included as best serves the student.
