8 Reasons a Private Yoga Class is a MUST When Visiting Playa Del Carmen

We all hear about all of the health benefits of yoga and meditation, but knowing and actually doing can be a big gap - for ALL of us sometimes.


But the universe brought you to Playa del Carmen, and some part of you was interested enough that you clicked on this article, so: let’s take a moment to allow ourselves time to really consider that this isn’t just a coincidence and maybe taking a private yoga class in Playa del Carmen IS actually for you.


Maybe you’ve been interested in exploring or deepening your yoga practice, but life has been too hectic or you just didn’t know where to start. Or maybe a private yoga class seemed like indulgence. Not to mention, how would you even find a private yoga instructor near me in Mexico?


Well, I have good news my beautiful soul: you are in the Mexican Riviera and now is absolutely the time to choose YOU - your self-care, health and all the things you know you “should/would” do, now that your “if only I had more time, money, etc” excuse is gone (if only for the day).


And honestly, if not now, when? You’re in one of the most beautiful places on the planet, with gorgeous turquoise waters, palm trees and lush green space everywhere and soul-aligning sunsets and sunrises every day. If THAT wasn’t justification enough to convince you to treat yourself to a private session, here are eight more reasons:


1. A Yoga Class Created Just for You


Whatever level of experience you have with yoga, whatever body shape or fitness level you are at right now, yoga can be an enjoyable way to partake in exercise.


During a one-on-one yoga session, I can adjust the practice to honor your body (and factor in any health concerns you may not want to announce to a class). This allows you to move and succeed, without the pressure to follow along with a large class.



2. Kick-start or Maintain Your Yoga and Fitness Goals


It can be hard to carve out time to practice solo or keep a fitness routine in place when traveling. Taking a private yoga class can both help you jump start your yoga practice or protect that healthy routine you’ve got going.


And during our time together, my individual guidance can help you elevate you from where you are now to your next level of personal growth.


3. Soak Up the Sunshine

We are blessed with amazing weather in Playa del Carmen. It’s a place in the world where you can practice yoga outside in the sunshine, breathing in fresh air, year round.


An individual or even small group private class is one of the best ways to soak up the sun here, embrace the beauty of this natural environment while nourishing your body and soul.


4. Invest in Experiences and Memories

I know my favorite moments when traveling are when I’ve taken the time to truly be present and experience something beautiful and unique, either alone or with my favorite people.


A private individual or small group yoga class allows you to do something you maybe normally wouldn’t do at home - and isn’t this why you are on vacation? Or took the leap to become a digital nomad? Decided to retire?


Allow yourself to finally make time for the experiences that make you feel alive.

And a private yoga class cost less than you think, with packages available for every budget.


5. The Magic Words: Hands-on Assists


For those of us who love hands-on assists to correct our alignment, they can feel like a rare treat during a large class. During our one-on-one yoga class, I will guide your practice and provide hands-on assists that allow you to experience that pose, or asana, as it’s meant to be.


Often that means correcting a pose that you may have never tried, or tried hundreds of times, and weren’t sure what correct alignment actually FELT like. I also offer hands-on assists to practice and explore postures that you may not be ready to try solo but are absolutely possible with a teacher next to you.


6. Get Your Questions Answered


A private yoga class is also an amazing time to ask the questions you may have had but didn’t know how or when to ask your studio yoga teacher.


During our time together, we can talk through the best ways to use yoga props like blocks or straps or what pose modifications might be right for you. Regardless of where you’re at on your yoga journey, I promise you we all are learning together.

7. Detox Your Fear and Excuses


Are you worried you don’t “look” ready for a larger yoga class? Despite the fact that every single body is a yoga body, we all know that insecurity. A private yoga session allows you to find your inner yogi in a safe, welcoming space without fear of judgment.


Are you worried that you’re not fit/flexible/healthy/strong enough to do yoga right now? I promise you, you absolutely are and can.


I will tailor our time together to meet your wellness goals and health concerns. (And honestly, it’s a joy for me as your teacher to be able to give you individual attention since any teacher of a large studio can’t create a universal sequence that accommodates all of a large group’s myriad health histories).


8. Embrace Flexibility (pun intended)


I’m happy to work with you to find a time and place that works with your schedule. Sunrise on Tuesday? Absolutely. Small group with your friends before brunch on Saturday? Done.

Naicel is truly a gifted teacher and a fabulous coach. Her attention to detail is amazing - she has almost a sixth sense when I’m feeling doubtful of a posture or I’m afraid to try something new. She knows how to encourage her students to be present, to nourish their practice and to get the most out of yoga - on or off of the mat!
