Private Yoga · Kelowna & the Okanagan
A holistic practice that will care for all your needs, seen and unseen.
You’re not one of many, you’re the only one. Leave feeling like you’ve done something truly good for yourself.
I come to you, build every session around what your body needs, and remember where we left off.
Book a Discovery CallHere’s what a private session looks like.
I come to you, in your home, on your schedule, and every session is built around what your body is actually doing that day. These classes are so different from group studio classes, because class is built around your needs, not what everyone else in the room is doing. We’ll set goals and intentions at the beginning of our time together and then every session will be informed by your history, your joints, your goals, and what you tell me when I get there.
Whether you want to become stronger, more mobile, more peaceful or better understand the language your body speaks. You’ll be so well cared for no matter how you’re feeling. And I’ll make sure we continue to move towards your goals. Even if you’re having an off day and working towards your goals means hanging out in child’s pose, doing a couple of gentle twists, then relaxing on cushions while I massage your forehead.
You leave with the feeling my students describe again and again: a little more grounded, a little more steady, a lot more at ease. That feeling compounds. The clients I work with most closely book weekly, some twice a week, because that rhythm is where the practice really takes hold.
Studio classes are great! But they’re designed to accommodate everyone. Private sessions are crafted for you.
In a group class, a teacher is managing several bodies at once. In a private session, there is only yours.
I work to notice what is happening in your hips before you do, adjust the sequence mid-class if something needs to shift, and remember next week what we worked through today.
That continuity, and that level of attention, is what makes a private practice different from simply doing yoga more often.
A Little About Your Teacher
I’m Tessa Murray.
I have been teaching yoga full-time since 2010. In that time I have worked with hundreds of students, physicians, athletes, people in high-stress careers, people navigating injury and recovery, couples who wanted a practice they could share. I hold an E-RYT 500 with Yoga Alliance, completed my 300-hour training with Clara Roberts-Oss in Hawaii, and I am a certified continuing education provider for Yoga Alliance.
Yoga has also been the thing that kept me steady through every season of my own life. That part of the practice is welcome here too.
I teach at boutique yoga studios in the Okanagan and lead workshops and retreats across BC and beyond. Private sessions are the work I find most meaningful. It is where the practice can actually be yours.
What I want for you is a practice that fits where you actually are, that your body can count on, and that you look forward to.
Every part of you deserves an hour customized to the version of you that day.
Private sessions are available on a schedule that fits your life, in your home or a location that works for you. We start with a discovery call so I can understand your body, your history, and what you are hoping to build, and then we go from there.
No generic sequence. No feeling of being left behind. Just your practice, your pace, and a teacher who will be paying attention. Every part of you deserves attention, to be seen and heard.
May all roads lead back to yoga.
Tessa
