DavidDavid Curtis (RYT-200) has practiced yoga in Burlington off and on for over twelve years. The insight, strength, sincerity and technique of the teachers who have taught at Burlington Yoga have all influenced his practice. Though not a fan of too much self-improvement, after years of navigating the downtown obstacle course of clueless texters and oblivious shoppers, he has decided that cultivating non-judgmental awareness is a good thing. For everyone.

JoannaFrom the first day Joanna Rosenberg stepped onto a mat in 2007, she realized she had finally come home. During a time when she was seeking healing--physical, emotional, spiritual-- Joanna found yoga to be a sacred and illuminating container for growth. Her mat became the mirror she used to relearn how to take ownership and care of her body and soul. Learning to teach through The New School of Yogic Arts remains one of the best, most fulfilling decisions she's ever made.
