“I decided to work with Larissa because I love her group classes. The immediate outcome of 1-1 sessions was that I felt loosened up and relaxed. Longer-term, I feel a bit more balanced in my walking.

I love how Larissa catered each session to how I was feeling each day, yet still moved toward the goal we had set. The sessions were over much too quick, I never knew six weeks could fly by like that.”

“I wanted to reconnect with my body following surgery and a difficult diagnosis of chronic illness.

Private yoga sessions increased my confidence and trust in myself and my body’s intuition. The longer-term results have been a commitment to listen to myself and trust in my body.

Larissa holds space with grace and compassion and put me at ease no matter what state I showed up in.

I always felt welcome and supported, and grateful that I decided to show up for myself that day.

Larissa is intuitive and tremendously skilled at what she does. I am so grateful for her help. She helped me to build strength and flexibility in a very short period of time.

 “It was a new and exciting concept for me to use simple physical movements to manage chronic stress symptoms. I appreciated that there was always an invitation to try any new activity. There was a real ease, no-pressure, and kind and nonjudgmental approach throughout all the sessions.”

-Nola H.

“I was worried about doing yoga because of years of bad habits and some injuries I’ve had. I wanted a safe space to explore and learn what adjustments I needed to make. I also wanted to improve my posture.

The immediate outcome of private sessions was I felt encouraged to explore and take things slowly, focusing on one area at a time. The small changes already started adding up and I know this is the right way to go.

Longer-term, I’m more confident about the way I move. My posture is getting better.

I really like the pace of our sessions—I tend to be impatient and rush, and having a space that was calm and welcoming really helped me open up.”

-Alicja R.

“I wanted to try yoga to complement my healing journey, but I knew a group class wouldn't be for me. I was drawn to Larissa because she was open, welcoming, and honest about her own experience. When we started working together, I found that she was easy to talk to and made yoga feel accessible.

It was a calm and safe space to take time to process the events of the week. It was such an important part of my work, to feel my feelings in my body and for it to feel safe. Longer term, I've generally just felt more calm, and felt more comfortable letting feelings exist.

Larissa has become someone that I trust very much. She is a safe person to do this (sometimes very vulnerable) work with.”

-Dani P.

“I decided to work with Larissa to develop a home yoga routine and feel movement in my body each week.

After a few sessions, I had some established routines and felt more confident going through them on my own. I always felt my stress from work melt away as our virtual sessions got underway.

The longer-term results from 1-1 are that I’ve recovered from past burnout and anxiety and feel confident about exploring new yoga poses.

I looked forward to every week with Larissa. She is so lovely and easy to work with. It was a great addition to my quarantine routine and definitely helped me in recovering through a difficult year.

If you’re considering 1-1 sessions, don’t hesitate. I felt comfortable right away with Larissa and would recommend this to anyone.”

“Immediately I connected with Larissa. She is so calming, I love even just speaking with her! I keep going back because I like private yoga sessions. I have MS and sometimes struggle with balance.

In 1x1 sessions if I fall I can laugh it off and keep going without distracting a whole class or getting embarrassed. I can do what I love and not feel like my disability holds me back. Working with Larissa has been more than just doing yoga. When we are done a session I feel grounded, relaxed, and confident. She encourages me and introduces me to new things. “

—Tammy G.

“Larissa is a very warm and caring teacher and I’m so thankful that she is in my life. I decided to work with Larissa because I take group classes with her and have enjoyed them.

 In 1-1 sessions I became very aware of how my body was reacting to simple movements. It is now easier to get into a pose and I have more muscle memory. Larissa helped me listen to my body. I was able to recognize what I was doing and what I’m capable of doing.

She opened me up to different ways of getting into shapes with slightly different benefits to my body. And, she encouraged me to try new shapes, which I really appreciated. The piece of advice I’d give to someone considering 1-1 sessions is to trust the process.”
