Find a professional yoga instructor in Canberra

When you use Airtasker to find a yoga class or instructor, you can either choose a private yoga instructor or an online class you can follow from home. The range of what a Tasker can offer will vary, but in general, these are the types of yoga lessons you may be able to find here on Airtasker:

Yoga for babies and kids

Children are naturals when it comes to yoga! When you book yoga lessons for your infant or toddler, they may learn poses such as downward dog, happy baby pose, and cobbler’s pose. Your yoga instructor may also teach them how to use yoga to express themselves, control impulses, and be more mindful. 

Yoga classes for beginners

For adults who are new to yoga, your instructor may begin by assessing that you are fit to do yoga (e.g. no medical conditions or physical injuries). They may also suggest alternative techniques and poses that are safe for your current physical state. Then, they may jump right into a quick yoga session that covers breathing, meditation, and asanas (poses/postures). 

Some basic poses you may learn include: easy seated pose (sukasana), mountain pose (tadasana), child’s pose (balasana), and corpse pose (shavasana). A typical yoga session lasts for around 60 minutes, but your first sessions may be shorter. Or, you can ask a private yoga instructor to have shorter sessions overall to accommodate your schedule. 

Pregnancy yoga classes

Prenatal yoga is very beneficial for both moms and their babies. When you sign up for a pregnancy yoga class, your instructor may check that you have your doctor’s clearance to practice it. In general, a yoga class for pregnant moms will consist of breathing techniques that can help you throughout pregnancy and labour, gentle stretching, asanas or poses, and time to cool down.

If you’ve never done yoga before, you’ll need to wait for the second trimester, as it’s not advisable to try the postures during the first three months. A pregnancy yoga class also makes sure to avoid poses like upward facing dog, cobra pose, and other asanas that may put you at risk. Hot yoga is also not recommended for expecting mothers. 

Online or private yoga lessons

If you don’t have time to head to a fitness centre, you can get a private yoga instructor or look for the best online yoga classes through our platform. Unlike free videos or poses you can Google, these are tailor-fit lessons you may be able to watch anytime, or they can be live video calls with an instructor who can check and correct your posture. 

If you’d like to do your private or virtual yoga classes in your backyard, you can also use our platform to find a local gardener to trim your lawn so that you can lay out your mat easily. Not a fan of doing yoga in the grass? You might like to build a deck instead.
