For those seeking more personalised attention and guidance, Carola offers bespoke one-to-one private lessons and yoga therapy sessions. These sessions can be conducted from the comfort of the client's home or office, with Carola's home studio serving as a convenient location for such sessions. Carola offers a range of practises, including vinyasa, power, yin, restorative, breathwork, yoga nidra, and meditation, tailored to each student's specific needs and goals. Results can often be seen within 4 to 5 sessions.
Carola's yoga therapy sessions are designed to address common musculoskeletal ailments, functional imbalances, and mental health issues. These 90-minute sessions are tailored to the individual's needs and preferences, and clients are provided with a bespoke take-home practise to regularly perform for optimal results.
Carola's dynamic yoga classes, including Vinyasa, Power, and Somatic practises, offer energetic flows that improve stamina, strength, and flexibility. These classes are suitable for all levels, with multiple options offered to accommodate each student's experience and capabilities. Students can expect to break a sweat, feel energised, and leave the class feeling both physically and mentally relaxed.
For those looking for a slower pace and a focus on alignment and strength building, Carola's Slow Flow (Hatha) class is perfect. Beginners and experienced students alike can benefit from this class, as it allows for a more detailed exploration of each posture.
Carola also offers Calm (Yin) classes that provide a calm and relaxing experience while offering deep stretches. In these classes, postures are held for 2 to 5 minutes, allowing for a stretch beyond the muscles into the connective tissues and fascia. This practise can be healing and serves as a great introduction to mindfulness. Athletes dealing with tightness or individuals looking to manage stress and anxiety can particularly benefit from these classes.
For those interested in focusing solely on breathwork and its calming effects, Carola offers Breathe (Pranayama) classes. In these sessions, students learn to breathe and use yogic techniques to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and calmness. Research has shown that yogic breathing techniques can help to produce alpha waves in the brain, contributing to a relaxed state.
Carola's signature class, Breathe and Stretch (Yin & Pranayama), combines long-held Yin postures with grounding breathwork techniques. This class is perfect for those seeking rest, relaxation, and an opportunity to stretch the body and mind as one.
For individuals interested in exploring Traditional Chinese Medicine theories alongside their yoga practise, Carola offers Stretch and Acupressure classes. These classes incorporate long-held postures with acupoint pressure to stimulate the flow of Qi (vital force) in the body.
Lastly, Carola offers 30-minute meditation sessions to help students learn to cultivate a calm and focused mind.
Overall, Carola Private Yoga & Yoga Therapy provides comprehensive and personalised yoga experiences in London. With her expertise in yoga therapy and a wide range of class offerings, Carola is dedicated to helping her clients achieve their physical, mental, and emotional well-being through the practise of yoga.
