Why NYC Couples Love Private Yoga

"For the first time I am actually understanding my husband’s needs"

said one of my private Yoga clients with a huge sigh of relief.

This client is in her early 40s, she has a successful career as a marketing executive, and is raising a beautiful family.

Navigating the stress of NYC life she noticed stress, tension, and lack of intimacy in her relationship  that's when this couple decided to try Private Yoga.

I work with this couple 1:1 2x per week in their  NYC apartment, mostly in the late afternoon or early evening.

They love the shared connection that Private Yoga lessons provide and feel they are better at handling stress and difficult emotions.

Now their main goal is to continue to practice Yoga consistently and focus on more experiences they can enjoy together. 

As a private Yoga instructor in New York City, I have had the pleasure of teaching Yoga to all walks of life. I have witnessed amazing transformations brought about through the power of Yoga. Some of the most profound changes I have experienced are couples who dive into Yoga together. Yoga has most certainly touched the lives of millions but the capacity to change and strengthen relationships was a surprise to me as I began teaching private Yoga lessons to couples.

Couples love the act of doing something nourishing and supportive together. Private Yoga is not simply a stretch for these couples but a time to connect and heal together. Though couples often come to private Yoga as a “new fun thing to try”, they quickly learn the profound effect of Yoga both internally but also within the dynamic of a conscious relationship. After interviewing several private Yoga clients I have discovered some of the standout reasons why couples love and cherish private Yoga classes. 

The Gift That Keeps On Giving: 

Many of the amazing couples I have worked with over the years start their journey with yoga as a simple gift from their spouse or partner. A husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend desperately  trying to find a unique gift for their loved one. In the process of trying to find something their partner won’t expect, they end up stumbling across private Yoga lessons. Only after they purchase a package of Yoga lessons do they realize that this gift is not a material object but an amazing  experience and journey. Everyone loves to receive a gift they will get to experience again and again. Instead of giving singular material item couples love investing in a nourishing and healthy experience, that will serve the health of their relationship both on and off the Yoga mat. 

Deeper Connection: 

Private Yoga isn’t the typical movie and dinner at the same restaurant you’ve been dining at for 15 years, it is a deeply connected and  conscious, ancient practice. Long term couples can often find themselves falling into the same patterns which can leave relationships feeling monotonous and one dimensional. Sharing Yoga with a partner opens new and different ways of communicating and understanding each other. Throughout a couple’s journey with private Yoga couples often find themselves discovering something new about their partner or appreciating an aspect previously unnoticed. Studies show that simply listening to another person’s breathing makes us feel more connected, so we can only infer the possibilities for connection during an hour long private Yoga session. Because the heart of Yoga truly relies on creating healthier relationships with ourselves and others, couples who practice Yoga together often strengthen their bond and improve relationship intimacy. 

Investment In Health: 

Couple’s often worry about the status of their life partner’s health and would do almost anything to ensure their partner is as healthy as possible. Knowing the many health benefits of Yoga many couples seek out private Yoga as a means to not only bond but insure and encourage the health of their partner. Many times I’ve received calls from concerned wives wanting to ensure her husband exercises regularly or properly recovers from an injury, husbands who want to aide in reducing their wives stress level, as well as couples who just want to maintain optimal health and wellness as they age. Couples love that they can do something together that improves their overall health and vitality, meaning more time can be spent creating memories with each other instead of battling health concerns. 

Relaxed Relationship:

Everyone knows that when stress is at play it affects everyone; friends, co-workers, and more often than not the people closest to us our spouses and partners. Work, family, and social stress can bleed into any relationships causing unnecessary fighting and tension. But when both parties in a relationship commit to a regular stress management routine, like private Yoga lessons they learn as a couple how to handle stress, anxiety, and other difficult emotions. Learning to relax is a skill that all of us, especially couples can benefit from practicing. Couples participating in private Yoga classes learn that taking care of ourselves plays a vital role in the health of any relationship. 

Convenience:

Between work, kids, commuting, etc. it can be hard to find the time necessary to show up for yourself let alone the time needed to really show up for our partner. Couples often lose the intimacy they once had simply because of time management. Busy New York City couples love private Yoga classes because it’s practical and convenient. Private Yoga instruction allows couples to workout, meditate, and destress while spending quality time with their partner. In home Yoga lessons save busy NYC couples valuable time while spending time with the person they love and cherish the most. 

Conscious connection is one of the most profound gifts we can give our spouses, loved ones, and partners. Private Yoga is simply the vehicle, the tool, the delivery service that can bring this sacred connection into our lives and relationships. The lessons learned when Yoga is shared within a partnership are as unique as each relationship dynamic, making them all the more beautiful and personal.
