Private yoga
De-Stress
Walking into a group yoga class or even logging onto a busy virtual class can be intimidating. We subconsciously compare ourselves to other people in the room and can feel discouraged. A private yoga class is just for YOU.
Tanya will welcome you to the practice of yoga in a very gentle, non-judgemental, and calming way. She will help to ignite your yoga confidence and help you to build new strength and flexibility in both your body and mind
personal attention
A private yoga class with Tanya Dawe is an opportunity to experience individualized attention that doesn’t happen in a group class. A private yoga class is designed around you specifically: your goals, your needs, your injuries, and limitations. This is the ultimate self-care gift.
You can ask questions during class and let Tanya know if things are moving too quickly or too slowly for your goals. Stop and rest whenever you need – remember this is YOUR time.
convenience
Your personal yoga class will be scheduled when it works for you – finally you can practice exactly when you want without worrying about rushing to that studio class. Flexibility with your classes.
Tanya can add in more breaks and restorative yoga poses if you feel tired and answer your questions as they arise during class. You also have the added bonus of being able to change your class time if required.
Advanced asana
Dreaming of a forearm stand? Wishing for that crow pose? Tanya can help you take your practice to the next level. Often group classes are designed in an “all-level’ fashion to help everyone feel included, which is a wonderful thing! However, if you’ve been practicing for a while, you might find that you need a new challenge or want some more personalized attention while working on that elusive arm balance. Tanya will work with you to take you to that next level safely and with lots of laughs!
Delve into the deeper components of yoga in a private yoga class to incorporate more advanced asanas, pranayama, and meditation. Add in the study of the yamas and niyamas into your vinyasa flow. A private “next level” yoga class with Tanya is ideal for those of you out there thinking about taking your Yoga Teacher Training.

health essentials
A private yoga class with Tanya Dawe, who trained as a nurse at McGill University, can cater to your injuries, disabilities, or limitations. Tanya will take the time to discuss your current special health needs to create a class that will complement existing physical therapy or other medical recommendations prescribed to you.
Tanya will gently show you how to modify and adapt any yoga pose to meet your unique needs and show you how props, such as pillows, blocks, and blankets, can assist in making some of the postures more accessible to you.
prenatal + postnatal
private
A personalized class is highly recommended when you are expecting. As an expecting momma-to-be your pregnancy and body is unique and every day you will feel and need something new. Prenatal yoga helps to manage the stress and nerves that accompany pregnancy and can ease tension and tenderness that builds up in your shoulders, neck and back.
Prenatal yoga will also open, tone, and strengthen muscles in preparation for labor and for healing the body after delivery.
Private
Remind yourself that it’s not “getting your body back’’ but rather supporting your body and mind in the recovery process. Your body is exhausted after birth and diastasis and pelvic floor issues are quite common. Tanya will guide you though gentle pelvic floor therapy and restorative yoga to gradually get you moving again.
When you’re ready to take your yoga a little further, Tanya will be there to help guide you safely into a deeper muscular strengthening session.
Private
A private mommy baby yoga class can be a wonderful way to help nurture the connection between baby and mother. We will adjust our class depending on if your baby is awake or asleep and also according to your energy levels that day. The class can help to strengthen and tone muscles, especially tight shoulders and back, and also provides new moms with a sense of direction and confidence.
This is the return to taking care of yourself in addition to the baby.

Testimonials
I’ve been taking weekly private yoga classes with Tanya for 2 months and I really appreciate the individual attention and the ability to choose a time that really works with my schedule. Though I’m a very physically active person I find that I don’t spend enough time stretching or working on my flexibility. Tanya helps motivate me to take the time to do this and it’s something that I look forward to every week. She is also able to seamlessly incorporate my existing physiotherapy (for an old shoulder injury) into our yoga classes. I’d recommend Tanya to athletes who need to slow down and stretch out and to anyone with range of motion limitations like me. Thank you, Tanya!
Thank you so much for the amazing prenatal and postnatal yoga classes! During pregnancy, your prenatal classes really helped me have a healthy and comfortable pregnancy by relieving tension in my body and learning how to move around with ease. I love that you incorporate my postnatal physio “homework” into our sessions now especially with the pelvic floor healing! You make everything better – pregnancy, postpartum and baby caring. Thank you for teaching me gratitude and to enjoy the present moment. And thank you for welcoming my baby into our yoga practice especially when he joins last minute!! Our lights shine brighter because of you!
