Private Yoga/Mind-Body Coaching Sessions
Throughout the year, private sessions are available for specific support. You may be seeking guidance for a life transition or a chronic health condition. You may want to develop a particular aspect of mind-body practice/yoga on or off the mat. Or you may be contending with a complicated schedule. Every aspect of our time together — movements, explorations, and breath awareness practices — is tailored to you during these sessions.
Privates help you:
- develop life-affirming strategies for overall release of long-held tension
- break through blockages held in the body through tailored somatic (body-based practices)
- kick-start your practice, whether you are new or returning to yoga after a break
- provide ongoing support for a chronic health condition
- stretch and strengthen a particular area of the body
- deepen your experience with posture alignment, breath awareness and meditation
What a session looks like:
I usually come to my client’s home for these sessions to help you develop a personal home-based practice. Sessions may also take place on the Zoom platform. Visibility on Zoom allows for private conversation, explorations, demonstrations, adjustments and refinement of yoga postures. As additional benefit using Zoom, we can record the session for your future reference.
Getting Started:
Our first session includes a conversation about your background, your goals, and some diagnostics regarding any underlying health issues. We develop some tools (movement, breath, visualization) customized to your current needs — typically, we warm up the body with slow targeted movements, build up to a posture appropriate for you, and conclude with release and relaxation.
Individual Sessions:
- $125 for one 60-minute session (also for 75-minute first diagnostic session)
- $75 for one 30-minute session to follow up on a 60-minute session
Multiple Session Packages:
- $425 for four 60-minute sessions (spread over 6 weeks)
- $25 extra per person charge for additional person(s) joining the session
- $10 additional per session charge for in-home privates 5+ miles away from my home in NW Philly
* If cost is a concern, please reach out to me — it shouldn’t get in the way of your well-being!

A client’s words: “I have been experiencing pain in my lower back and hips which reduced my mobility. I am a passionate walker — so I was truly dismayed when I was diagnosed with stenosis. The physical therapist I consulted advised me to stop walking. I was very disheartened! Because of her knowledgeable approach to movement and commitment to a holistic approach, I decided to set up private virtual sessions with Esther. She guided me through several series of simple sequences which we recorded so I could practice between sessions. This has totally turned things around for me. Only yesterday, I stepped outside for a walk — and returned over two hours later! I experienced no discomfort, just enormous joy at being able to move freely.” — Leanna Whitman, Philadelphia
