Private Sessions

Yoga was traditionally taught one-on-one, in a highly individualized manner.

Through personal attention, I’m honoring this tradition by recognizing that a yoga practice is unique and different for each person. Private sessions will enable you to customize your experience according to your interests, experience level, and physical needs. Whether you are a beginner, an experienced yogi or have an injury, learning the correct alignment for your body type and developing a deeper understanding of the breath and the postures are among the many benefits you will receive through private sessions. 

If you have any concerns or questions, email-me.

  • I'm certified in back care and scoliosis, restorative yoga, prenatal yoga, Yoga Tune Up and Urban Zen. All these certifications allow me to design my sessions according to my student's needs.

  • Topics such as stress reduction, managing anxiety, breathwork, meditation and yoga philosophy may also be addressed in private sessions.

  • Private instruction that will fit your schedule can take place in the comfort of your own home on Shelter Island or in the Hamptons or via Zoom.

  • Corporate sessions are also available to promote the well-being of your employees.

Private sessions taught in-person on Shelter Island, in the Hamptons or via zoom wherever you are.

Appreciation for Céline's work

  • I have been fortunate to work with Céline for many years and can honestly say that her yoga instruction changed my life. After two years of strenuous bi-weekly yoga sessions together, I found myself faced with fertility challenges which necessitated an emotionally and physically demanding round of IVF. All exercise was suddenly forbidden by my doctors. Céline immediately adapted her instruction to my needs; she taught me how to meditate and do the gentlest of stretches. Our sessions were what kept me sane and grounded during a very challenging period. When I became pregnant, Celine nurtured me for nine months with loving and appropriately vigorous prenatal yoga instruction. Thanks to her I was prepared mentally and physically to give birth. There is no one else I would have trusted to train me during these times. I continued to work with Céline immediately following the birth of my child and look forward to our ever-evolving yoga practice each time we meet. Céline is not only a remarkable instructor with a vast knowledge of the human body - she places careful emphasis on proper alignment and technique - but also an incredibly lovely, thoughtful and professional person. Céline is hands down the best yoga instructor one can ever hope to find.

  • Céline Antoine is a remarkable teacher. I have been taking private sessions with her for the past several years and l always feel that Céline is entirely focused on me when we work together. She is patient, calm and thoughtful about my yoga practice. When I first began working with Céline, I had lower back problems. She has successfully used Yoga to bring me relief and increased flexibility and strength. In short, Céline is a singular professional who I wholeheartedly recommend.

  • I have been a private student of Céline's for five years. Céline is a warm lovely person and a very knowledgeable yoga practitioner. I enjoy our sessions enormously. Always encouraging, she has an especially keen eye and can recommend the smallest corrective body movements and positions. I have learned that the smallest re-positioning can strengthen the yoga pose's core. It is a joy. Although still I consider myself a beginner, I am stronger than ever and grateful.

  • I have worked with Céline for over a decade.  During this time, my yoga practice has grown physically but also spiritually as I see how working with Céline has helped me to let go of old energy.  Celine is a practiced teacher and brings a gentle and intentional spirit to all of our sessions. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a deeper relationship with the art of yoga.

  • I've had weekly private sessions with Céline for the past 15 years. I just turned 80 and I attribute my flexibility to our yoga sessions. Celine is an astute teacher. She recognizes an individual's capabilities and tailors her instruction accordingly. As I grew older, she eliminated some poses and introduced others that were easier for me to do, focusing on flexibility. I look forward, hopefully, to at least 10 more years of private lessons with Céline.

  • I have been working with Céline for several years. Originally, we met in person but now we use zoom (which allows us to meet when either or both of us may be traveling). Céline is very knowledgeable, both about Yoga and how the human body moves. She individualizes my sessions and modifies them to how I am feeling on a particular day. Céline’s manner is kind and soothing and she is incredibly attentive to every detail to ensure my poses are done correctly (even over zoom, she knows when something is amiss). My sessions with Céline are the highlight of my week in a usually chaotic day/week. I come away feeling stronger, more focused and very well stretched.

  • Céline Antoine has an unusual personal radiance which she communicates to her students, and an exceptionally mindful, non-egoistic, and centered approach to teaching yoga. As a student who began to practice in middle-age, with a history of scoliosis, sciatica, and past injuries from skiing and running. I always feel completely safe and observed, yet challenged, in our sessions. Our relationship is a deeply felt, shared practice.

  • Meeting Céline and practicing with her has changed my life- both physically and emotionally. I am stronger, more at peace and better able to deal with the ups and downs of life because of her teaching. She embodies the perfect mix of knowledge, attention to detail and "laidback-ness." No other instructor I've had compares to her.

    Melissa Polaner

  • I have been practicing with many teachers in the US, Europe and India and I have to say that Céline is one the best instructor I have had. She is obviously technically very advanced and compe-tent. But she is is more than that. Céline brings a lot of patience and intuition to the table. This allows for a very smooth, fluid and very pleasant session. She knows to encourage students at the right moment and also to correct postures with the right words and attitude.

  • I first met Céline through group classes at Yoga Works in NYC. Still fairly new to yoga, I always appreciated her careful, patient corrections and her ability to clearly explain why they were needed. I started private classes over seven years ago to deepen my yoga practice and benefit from focused time with Céline. Through the years she has helped me through various injuries to strengthen and re-train my body. With Covid our private sessions went online and it was seamless, there was no change in the focused, detailed attention to every move and posture. Céline has an uncanny ability to sense what is needed both physically and mentally at the start of each session. Whether it is longer breathing exercises to offset stress, or challenging me to go deeper in my core strength, Céline customizes each of our sessions and brings a soothing, calming energy to our work together.
