Yoga is known for its physical, emotional and mental benefits and you can actually incorporate yoga into a private event to improve the overall experience. This will allow the attendees to relax and they will also be able to take something away from the event where they are able to reduce their anxiety levels or centre their emotional health.

Think about what the goals are for your event

Maybe you are looking to promote relaxation or team building allowing the participants to get to know each other. Maybe you are looking to provide an enjoyable experience for your guests that they can benefit from as well. Once you have a better idea of the purpose of the event, you can then select a private yoga instructor that can help you achieve these goals. You can search for yoga instructors online and see whether there is a professional that can manage an event in your local area.

There are also reputed yoga organisations that you can contact for a private instructor. Check whether the instructor has undergone training and that they are able to guide a group effectively. There are also different specialisations when it comes to a yoga instructor. There are instructors that are skilled in certain styles of yoga such as Hatha yoga and Kundalini. Then there are instructors that focus on restorative yoga. You need to select a yoga style that is more suited to your event goals.

Check whether

The yoga instructor has liability insurance so that you and the instructor will be covered in case of an accident during the event. It is always important to ask for proof of insurance so that you can check the type of insurance and whether it is updated. Only when these details are verified can you choose the right instructor for the event. There are yoga instructors that are working individually or as part of a company and you can check their online reviews and ratings.

Look for instructors that have positive feedback so that you have a better chance of selecting a quality instructor. It may be better if you can arrange for a trial yoga session before the event so that you have a better idea of their teaching style and whether they are able to give clear instructions. They should be able to adapt their teaching to different skill levels and make a connection with the group.

Once you have shortlisted a few yoga instructors

You can have a consultation with them so that you can explain your event goals and what you expect from the event. By having a meeting with the instructor, you will be able to get an idea of their communication skills and professionalism. This meeting will help you decide whether the yoga instructor is able to tailor their approach to meet the expectations of the event. You can also ask them about their experience with similar events or groups. If they have done a similar event, you can ask them to provide you with references so that you can ask their previous clients for some feedback as well.
