Yoga for One

One-to-one yoga teaching is a great way to ensure that every client is practicing yoga safely while reducing risks that may cause them unintentional harm. Through the process of co-creation, yoga teachers can move beyond the development of one-time class practices into the development of tailored yoga practice programs that can truly meet their clients where they are and take them where they want to go - on and off of the mat.Blending the science of shared decision-making with an evidence-informed approach to health intervention design, this book offers yoga teachers and other movement professionals a simple, systemic and strategic process for co-creating a yoga practice program on and off the mat. Interviewing, assessment, and choreography strategies provide a wealth of options for better understanding clients' current needs and strengths and future possibilities. Behavior and lifestyle change and strategic planning processes offer a step-by-step method for developing a kosha-based practice program that keeps clients on track to their optimal health, wellness and well-being.
