Highly recommended.
I feel so blessed to have found Lilian as a private instructor. Being new to yoga, she taught me step by step and at my own pace. Lilian increased the difficulty levels to match my abilities. I was able to increase my flexibility and have a better mood as a result of each session. Her private sessions were fun and challenging. Also Lilian was accommodating to my work schedule.
Glowing reviews for Lilian. She is a kind, gentle, and knowledgeable yoga instructor who can intuit what your body might need for better balance, posture and stability. I was impressed with the way she ‘micro-adjusted’ me exactly to the needs of my body, and worked slowly and deliberately with me, rather than just taking me through an asana flow which I might get in a regular yoga class. She was very attentive making sure I was doing the exercises correctly, with structural integrity. At the end of the session, she incorporated a lovely Tibetan sound bowl meditation (her own bowls, which she plays herself) which was a really harmonious way to close the session.
Another bonus! Lilian’s husband, a chiropractor, gave me a minor adjustment at the start of session and worked on a chronic muscle spasm I was holding, as a way to prepare my body to better receive yoga. There was a minor fee for this, but it was worth it.
Lillian is truly an inspiring instructor. She is extremely patient and caring. I had an injury that I was working through and she was extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful in her instruction on how to work through it and around it. Anyone who works with her is truly going to benefit and see the advantages yoga has to offer. Lillian is a true expert at her craft.
I was iffy about investing in one-on-one yoga coaching, but as it turns out, there’s no other way. Just taking some classes (physically and on YouTube) doesn’t really get you anywhere, and for me, it just kept instilling more and more bad habits.
Lillian is really amazing at guiding me through the process of undoing these habits. If I never started with a personal yoga coach, I would’ve remained completely unaware that my approach to yoga was both misguided and not at all technically correct.
As a coach, she’s very sharp and immediately knew exactly what I needed. She’s eased me into everything pretty effortlessly and now I know exactly what I need to work on. She’s also a very calming presence and does a great job getting me into a relaxed mind state, which is not an easy thing to do.
To really learn all aspects of yoga, there’s no need to look elsewhere.
