Custom One-to-One Yoga Class My most popular private yoga class. All attention is on you, which is what makes this experience so beneficial and enjoyable.

Continue your yoga and feel great on vacation with this Vinyasa Flow Class that combines Sun Salutations with Warrior Poses, twists, and balance poses.

“Teaching in a tropical setting gives me a feeling of spaciousness. Imagine facing the aqua-blue Caribbean Sea as you stand in Mountain Pose. The sun sparkling off the water is an awesome sight - as inspiring as it is powerful. This constantly moving mass of energy invigorates our practice and the sound of the waves promotes tranquility during the relaxation we do at the end of each class.”
