Custom private yoga instruction for
                  everyone in the fabulous Florida Keys!

So you have found yourself here and you are wondering....why yoga?

You’ve heard so much about yoga, and you are curious about the practice. You know it’s supposed to be great for your body, mind and spirit. You have been told that yoga can  increase  flexibility, improve your ability to focus and help diminish stress. However, you don’t know where to begin or exactly what yoga really is all about. Perhaps you have purchased yoga videos but you are unsure if they are safe or if you are "doing it right". Private yoga sessions offer a one-on-one teacher/student yoga session the original way yoga was taught.

Why private sessions instead of a group class?


A private session allows you to work one-on-one with the owner and founder of Key Largo Yoga, Kathy Shirley. Private instruction is useful in developing a home practice and in learning to adapt group class postures to serve your individual needs. Useful for individuals who want to practice yoga at home or those who have special health concerns or injuries.
