What to expect in a Private Yoga Session with Sydney Cohen:
A private with me first starts with meeting your needs. Are you looking for more movement or for a slow restorative lesson with more meditation? Everyone is different and every session could be different depending on what your body needs at that moment. Expect hands-on adjustments, gentle massage, and craniosacral therapy.
One of my specialties is working with injured folks. Injured individuals can expect to learn how to do postures with adjustments and props for that injury and help rehabilitate that area. We can use the rope wall for traction therapy. I will also demonstrate props at home that can be used for traction therapy as well. I use essential oils and play healing music to create a relaxing environment.
