Private Yoga, Breathing & Meditation Instruction (in-person & virtual)
Traditionally the practice and teaching of yoga has included postures, breath work, concentration, relaxation and meditation, tailored to the individual's needs. Private instruction will meet you where you are and as such is quite powerful.
Why private instruction?
You have a health condition (injury, physical limitation, chronic illness...) that requires specific modifications.
You want to practice specifically to relieve stress, anxiety, insomnia or other nervous system imbalance.
You want to tailor your practice to your Ayurvedic constitution.
You’d like to refine an existing practice, approach the postures energetically, integrate more breath work, conscious relaxation, mantras, meditation...
You can not make it to a yoga studio or do not like practicing in a group setting.

“I did not have a chance to thank you for tonight’s class. I have been practicing consistently for close to two years, and tonight, for the first time, I felt that I was beginning to get it and to feel the mind/body connection. You mentioned it earlier in the practice and at times I felt both calm and invigorated. I have a long way to go, but under your tutelage, I feel I am making progress— so, thank you.
Regards,
”
“Dear Sylvie,
I wanted to thank you for the difference you’re making in my life. Working with you has been wonderful. I’m more flexible, stronger and feel better about myself than I have for a long time. I also love the fact that we work out on Zoom—so easy for me—a lazy woman of a certain age. Also, it’s pandemic-proof. I was worried when you said you’d be away for a bit, but this has made literally no difference to my sessions. Plus, I now get two lessons for the price of one...yoga with some French thrown in.
Take care and keep doing what you’re doing,
”
“”Having been a student of yoga for over fifteen years, starting at age sixty, I have had many experiences with a variety of yoga instructors in NYC, Southampton and Florida. Unquestionably Sylvie (twelve years with her) is more accomplished, more studied, capable and knowledgeable than any other I have practiced with. Really have no words to describe Sylvie’s skillfulness and uniqueness. I love our deeply restorative and meditative sessions, and how she intuitively integrates Thai massage stretches, Reiki or yoga nidra according to my needs. She takes yoga instruction to a different level. So grateful to have her in my life.” ”
“Sylvie Barthelemy is a superb yoga instructor. I have been fortunate to have her come to my home for 1:1 sessions where she tailors my practice to exactly my level and needs. I love how meticulous she is in her instruction, including using “hands on” to make sure I am getting the greatest benefit from the practice. I appreciate her encouraging manner. I began 1:1 yoga during chemotherapy four years ago and it made all the difference in how my body felt, releasing the tightness in my muscles and helping me learn to breathe and relax. I now feel that my body is in better condition than it was ten years ago.”
“Working with Sylvie privately has been a transformative experience for me and my family, as our connection to yoga has deepened collectively and individually. Each week is different, but Sylvie always comes with a new class carefully thought through and sequenced, always modifying her plan sensitively and intuitively in response to our limitations and preferences. We are so lucky to have this meditation and vinyasa practice with such a brilliant and skillful yoga teacher .... at home! ”
