PRIVATE & SEMI-PRIVATE CLASSES

Ideal for those with specific issues, needs, or goals, private instruction can address these concerns more comprehensively in a personal setting.

Individuals with therapeutic needs, those who wish to establish or develop their own yoga practice, or students facing life changes such as pregnancy or aging are some of the people who have found private instruction to be useful and beneficial.

Kiki offers private and semi-private sessions, as well as special events and series, by appointment only.

COST

$60/hr, for up to five students

YOGA FAQS

  • This is an option (via the link above), but not a requirement for classes on the regular schedule. Feel free to just show up!

  • Wear comfortable clothes that you can stretch and move in. Many students like to wear t-shirts and sweats or leggings. Because some movements may involve bending, stretching, or turning over, we recommend clothes that fit well and are not revealing, for your comfort and the comfort of others. There are no shoes worn in the center, and socks may become slippery, so be prepared to go barefoot on your mat.

    You may bring your own mat, or use one provided by the studio. We also provide yoga props. You might want to bring a water bottle too.

  • You may want to consider what you hope to achieve through yoga, and to know the sort of yoga we practice at Jivaka. We aim to teach practices that are appropriate for the actual bodies who show up. What this means: no matter whether you are inflexible, or have any other sort of physical limitations, yoga may be just the right thing for you. Every body is different, and this answer has different aspects depending on you – we would be happy to discuss your individual needs and concerns with you.

    In addition, it is important to acknowledge that the physical poses that come to mind for most people, upon hearing the term "yoga," represent only one of eight limbs that, together, constitute yoga. Yoga's complete meaning is a set of guidelines for leading a purposeful and righteous life. The intention of asana (physical practice) is to help serve this greater goal. Knowing this helps one remember this fact: so much of a true yoga practice takes place off the mat.

  • The most important rule is not to harm yourself or others.

    Some other considerations:

    • Please leave your shoes by the front door

    • Please turn off or silence your cell phone before class

    • Let your teacher know in advance if you have any injuries, illnesses, or limitations

    • If you arrive late, please make eye contact with the teacher BEFORE entering the main door, and wait for them to signal for you to come in (*the door is heavy - please let it close softly!)

    • If you must leave before the end of class, let your teacher know in advance

    You are in charge of your own wellbeing. You are NEVER required to do anything that makes you feel unsafe.

  • "I was lucky enough to connect with Kyle and Kelly the year they opened their studio — the same year I had surgery for early breast cancer. What worried me most wasn’t the surgery itself but what might come after — scar tissue that could limit the work I love, or steal away all the fun, slightly crazy things that make a life feel like a life. That it didn’t turn out that way is largely thanks to Kyle and Kelly. A daily yoga practice under their guidance gave me back full range of motion in my left arm — which, as a left-handed veterinarian, I need for nearly everything. I don’t think I would have recovered as completely anywhere else. Their studio offers more than skilled instruction. It feels like a place of friendship at the end of a long workday. Every friend I’ve ever brought along has been welcomed with open arms, whatever their level of experience."

  • "I felt comfortable with Kiki. She communicated well making sure I was keeping myself and baby safe during prenatal yoga. She made sure the poses were accessible and offered alternatives. Most importantly she was kind – we laughed and had fun while helping my body be pregnant and prepare for birth. Not only did the classes help with my first delivery, but a few years later I remember some movements and those helped me moved into position, open up, and quickly birth our son."

  • "As a first awakening, the Jivaka Wellness Center, with Kyle Weaner as my counselor, placed the initiative in my hands to relieve my gut ache with a carefully prescribed diet, specific yoga exercises, and one-on-one yoga classes with Kelly Alba."

    — Helen B.

  • "Having participated in several forms of healing including private yoga sessions and Thai massage with Kiki and deep muscular massage and Tibetan treatment with Kyle I can say with certainty that this wellness center holds an incredible space of safety, healing, and love like no other. Both Kiki and Kyle are incredibly attentive, skilled, compassionate practitioners."
