Hi everyone,
I teach one hour sessions for the majority of my clients. I have one that does 1.5 hours. I am rarely monitered by the time.
Sometimes I have to be more cautious if I have people close together but If I need to go over 10 or 15 min. then I do.
I find that one hour is plenty of time as well and I can teach them a lot.
In my opinion I think it is always a good idea to check in with you clients on how their body is feeling and allow them to suggest something they specifically want from the session.
For example I have one client that loves starting with relaxation. If I don't he immediately requests it. He gets stressed due to his job and wants to calm his mind. I find the relaxation and meditation in the beginning help him to be more centered.
I tend to change every session for all my clients and they seem to like this variety. In the beginning of the session I intuitively and focus on parts of their body that are energetically blocked.
Some days I may repeat similar poses or sequences that we did that same week.
I find that like life every day brings changes and different tightness or stiffness in our bodies.
However I also know that repeating or having a set class for a while can be very beneficial as well.
What I do works for my clients, so I continue. For some of my clients I give them a small sequence to do on their own. When they come to me and are ready for new poses we build on this.
Don't be afraid to be creative and go beyond your own boundaries and test things out. I also do many hands on adjusting with all my clients and Thai yoga massage. They love this. It is their treat for employing me.
warm regards,
Sara
