Private Training
Release was voted the Best of the Best in MetroWest for Yoga Studio and Personal Training in 2020!
One-on-One and Semi-Private Yoga Training
Private and semi-private yoga lessons are a phenomenal approach to taking one’s yoga practice to the next level – or even if you’re just getting started and want to make sure that you’re building your practice up from a solid foundation. Instead of following along with a yoga instructor in a class setting where they are trying to cater to a wide variety of needs, a private lesson allows you to set specific goals and plans to help you achieve a greater understanding of how your individual body works with asanas, pranayama, meditation, and mindfulness. One-on-one interactions can aid in understanding individual anatomy and physiology to maximize your practice. Maybe you want to deepen your practice; maybe you have pain or injury that you would like to learn how to work with; maybe you are simply new to yoga and you want to learn the poses through nuanced instruction. No matter your reason, the results will include a deeper practice, a greater level of confidence, and fewer complications and limitations in your everyday activities.
One-on-One Training
Working one on one with an experienced yoga instructor will zero in on your personal goals based on your health, body, limitations, lifestyle and experience.
With private yoga lessons, you’ll zero in on your goals and get personalized instruction based on your health, body type and lifestyle. Private yoga instruction can help you perfect the basics and expand your yoga practice.
One on One Private Training offers:
- Greater flexibility for scheduling. You will get to train on the days and times that are best for you, rather than during normally scheduled classes.
- Work on specific techniques to increase flexibility, build strength, and improve alignment in order to master challenging asanas
- Cultivate a therapeutic practice to manage issues like insomnia, low back pain, or anxiety.

Our semi-private fitness trainings are open to up to 4 participants, and offer the benefits of working one-on-one with one of our award-winning yoga instructors at an even better price point. The comprehensive program begins with an intake session for each member of your group to establish baselines, note any injuries and preferences, and to set goals for your individualized personal programs. During subsequent sessions, each of you will work at your own pace to meet your personal goals, with the guidance and accountability of the instructor and the other members of your group.
Semi-Private Training offers:
