I've always felt intimidated to try out yoga classes, not only because of my extreme inflexibility, but also because I was worried that I wouldn't fit in. But Burlington Yoga has really turned things around for me. When quarantine started, I was on the hunt for ways to stay in shape while staying safely at home. I saw that this studio was offering online classes, and since I was aiming to support local businesses as much as possible, I decided to give this place a try. This is the first yoga studio I've been to where I've been motivated to keep going after the first class. All of the instructors are so nice, and not only made me feel welcome, but also made me feel that it was great that I was just trying to do my best to hit each of the poses, rather than unintentionally making me feel embarrassed for not being very flexible. More Highlights: - Lots of pose modifications shown for different skill levels - Easy to schedule / manage classes and class passes - Instructors are available to answer questions outside of class if you have any - Zoom classes make me feel more like I'm part of something than when I'm watching a Youtube channel by myself Lastly: I've had to miss a couple classes for health-related reasons. In each instance, the instructors surprised me by personally checking in with me to make sure that I was ok, saying that they missed me in class, and wanting to know if there was anything that they could do to help. The times we're in are weird and new and can feel pretty lonely. So it was a wonderful surprise to find a sense of community and belonging and personal strength in a place where I might not have looked before. Thank you :)
I was in Burlington for the weekend and tried this spot for a Saturday morning yoga practice - yoga for runners. It was fantastic! The class had a nice flow. It was challenging but slow enough forward a strong focus on form, alingment, and deep stretches. The instructor was great too. She asked at the beginning of class what people wanted to focus on and worked those areas into the practice. Definitely looking forward to going again whenever I'm back in the area!
I want to say at the start that I am new to yoga. Really new. So I am not qualified to comment on the comparative merits of this studio with other places around the world (or even Burlington). That said, I'm a professional voice teacher and have done numerous workshops on Alexander Technique, body work and so forth. I know a lot about pedagogy, customer service, and the concept of creating a safe working environment. With that preamble let me say that Burlington Yoga is a perfect and magical place. I had been afraid to start yoga. I put it off for years. Chandra (Piper) made me feel like I could be successful. Deb and Emily have been so generous with their time and instruction. I can't believe it's been so rewarding. I would go everyday if I could and I can't believe the difference the work I've done so far has made in my sense of physical and mental well being. If you are looking for a new studio I would encourage you to give it a try. It is a wonderful environment with wonderful people. I look forward to working with the whole team and want to say with out reservation that the private lessons and the group beginner sessions will be a perfect way for people who are new to yoga and want to discover its power.
Took a class here while I was visiting in Burlington. The class was one of the best I have ever attended. The pace, playlist, environment, cues, and assists were great. Sarah delivered eloquent instruction that was both alignment-based and palatable to hear. Beautiful!
