One to Ones

One to ones are a great way to further develop your current yoga practice, work on areas you wish to explore and develop further or build your confidence and knowledge of yoga before joining regular classes. For your personalised one to one you will come to my home where we will do yoga in our beautiful south facing, spacious living area. Some examples of what we can cover in a one to one follow:

• You may wish to work on an injury or illness (if it is back related please see below).
• You may wish to learn how to do some of the more challenging yoga postures, such as wheels, shoulder stands, head stands etc.
• If you would like specific yoga that is dynamic and strong to help you in losing weight, or not as the case may be;
• As well as teaching Dru yoga I also teach Yin yoga. You may wish to try out 90 mins of Yin yoga and experience how that makes you feel.
• Have an hour and a half where you just get pampered with powerful yet flowing Dru sequences.

The one to ones will last for an hour and a half and will cost anywhere between £25 to £45, some guidance follows:

• £25-£30 – for people who are unwaged or on a very low income;
• £30-£35 – for people who are on the lower end of the pay scale;
• £35-£40 – for people who are in the middle of the pay scale;
• £40-£45 – for people who are high earners.

It is a sliding scale and we trust your integrity when it comes to payment.

Yoga as a Therapy for Back Pain

Some Testimonials:

“The sessions have progressed from a relatively gentle explanation of what my body was capable of, to a pushing (but still gentle) of its limits. The sessions have concentrated on general flexibility and building up core stability and also strengthening the back muscles. I am aware of a gradual improvement in flexibility, core strength and in my back. Lower back pain has decreased significantly and I find sitting for longer periods much easier. These sessions have made me much more aware of my body. As well as the improvement in my back, I feel that I have more energy generally both physically and mentally.” 2011. C.L. has been suffering from back pain due to a broken back in the T12/L1 area.

“I’ve been having trouble with my lower back for years and also have sciatica which is horrible and makes driving any distance almost impossible. I’d signed up for Jo’s Back Pain Workshop, but when the day came I really didn’t want to go as I was in so much pain – but I’m so glad I did!” 2009.

“The workshop lasted for three hours; we began with some gentle stretching and Dru yoga exercises which eased my back considerably. After the refreshment break Jo gave us a very useful and informative talk with the aid of a skeleton and excellent hand-outs on how back problems arise. We finished with gentle and very easy back strengthening exercises and relaxation.” 2009.

“The whole workshop was very well planned and I’m so grateful to Jo for doing it. I bought the CD of back exercises that Jo used and have been practising the exercises most days. I am now pain free, able to sit through concerts and the cinema and can drive without being in dreadful pain after just a few miles. I realise that I’ll have to continue with the exercises for some time but they only take about 15 minutes. I’d recommend Jo’s workshop to any one with back problems”. Janis, 2009, Local Artist
