1. Get Clear On What You Want

This might be the most important factor in finding the instructor and service you want. If you know they type of Yoga teacher you would like to work with, you will easily be able to weed out instructors that aren’t the right fit. Be sure to consider the following:

Location- Would you like your instructor to come to your home/office or would you like them to rent a space for you?

Style- Do you want a private Yoga instructor well versed in many styles or do you prefer someone more specific?

Level- Are you a beginner or a super advanced practitioner ? What type or level of credentials would you like your private instructor to have?

2. Referrals:

Once you have some ideas about what type of private Yoga instructor you would like to work with, you can start to do some research. Referrals from friends, family, and other professionals will most likely land you with a rock star private Yoga instructor. A referral from someone you trust means they’ve already done the grunt work for you. It means they already know, like, and trust this teacher enough to happily refer them when you inquire. Besides friends, family, and coworkers consider the following list of professions to ask for a private Yoga instructor referral:

Healthcare Professionals- Your chiropractor, therapist, nutritionist, acupuncturist, dentist, personal trainer etc.

Other Professionals You Trust- Your accountant, attorney, real estate broker, financial planner, etc.

Your Staff- Your personal organizer, private chef, personal assistant, house manager, etc.

3. Get Online

Check out private Yoga teachers and lessons online. Look for Yoga instructors who have their own website and business listing. You want to ensure you hire an instructor that takes their work seriously. This means they should present themselves professionally online and their website should focus on private Yoga instruction, not group classes or workshops. Be sure to read reviews on their website or other online platforms as well as check out any relevant social media linked to the business. Lastly it should be easy to contact the instructor by email, phone, or website form.

4. Avoid Big Private Yoga Services

Chances are when you type in private Yoga online a few private Yoga or personal training services will pop up in the search engine. These services have a very large online presence but often leave customers unhappy due to the lack of personal approach, high instructor turn over rate, and lack of flexibility. Aim for local instructors or businesses that have a true investment in you and your Yoga practice. After all the entire point of hiring a private Yoga instructor is to receive high quality, personalized, curated service.

5. Do An Intro Session

Take a leap of faith and commit to an introductory private Yoga lesson. This is often a shorter session with time allotted for you to get to know your instructor. Pay attention to how your instructor makes you feel. Do they ask questions about you and what you are looking for in a private Yoga session? Do they take note of your lifestyle and any injuries or disabilities? Lastly are they clear about scheduling, payment, and client commitment? If all of these are a yes, congrats you’ve probably found an instructor who really cares about you and wants to deliver great service!

Most importantly pay attention to how you feel.

There is a private Yoga instructor out there for everyone, it’s just a matter of finding the right match. Get clear, do your research, and take an intro session . It’s as simple as that!
