Private Lessons for Individuals and Small Groups
Personalized Yoga for Your Unique Needs
Private lessons offer focused attention and a customized approach that’s not always possible in a group setting. They’re perfect if you::
Are healing from an injury
Feel hesitant about joining a group yoga class
Have specific mental, emotional, or physical goals
Struggle to fit group classes into your schedule
Want to deepen your practice or learn the fundamentals
Enjoy postures and meditations tailored to your unique needs.
Each session is tailored to your needs and can include yoga postures, breathing exercises, meditation, and personalized guidance. Together, we can design a sustainable home practice, work on alignment and safety, or tackle that elusive pose (crow pose, anyone?).
Let’s create a practice that works for you.
Teacher Mentoring
Step Into Your Power as a Yoga Teacher
Become the teacher you know you were meant to be.
Elevate your teaching with personalized mentoring that hones your skills and expands your toolbox. I work with teachers of all levels to refine their sequencing, language, theme weaving, and more. Together, we’ll unlock your potential to lead transformational practices.

“Working with Ilana has been transformative in all the best ways.”

Rooted in the timeless wisdom of yoga, Ayurveda, and psychology, my teaching is welcoming and inclusive. I aim to empower students to reflect deeply, find their inner strength, and reconnect with their inherent wisdom. Yoga is a practice for everyone, and I strive to create a space where all feel seen, supported, and inspired.

Yoga is for everyone. It’s a practice that meets you where you are.
Yoga is more than what happens on the mat. It’s a way of living with presence, intention, and connection.
Yoga is a gift. It offers strength, inspiration, comfort, and grace—a pathway to reconnect with your true self.
