David

David 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.

For everyone.

Emily

Her yoga practice began in 1996 when her sister gave her yoga videos and a mat for Christmas.

Gemma

Gemma (RYT-200) first felt the pull toward yoga about 15 years ago but didn't begin practicing regularly until she found Burlington Yoga in 2012.  The sense of balance and clarity brought about through the combination of the physical and spiritual practices were what kept her returning to her mat again and again. 

Jamie

Jonah

Jonah Moos / Jivanmukti (RYT- 200) was drawn to yoga asana as a gateway to meditation. Through effort you find relaxation, through movement you find stillness, through challenge you find peace. This balance of opposing forces forms the core of his philosophy on yoga and teaching practices.

Karen

For Karen (RYT-200), yoga was a natural evolution from a youth spent practicing gymnastics, diving and dance. After college, she became interested in practicing yoga to seek balance between mind and body while serving in the Peace Corps in El Salvador (1994-1996). Her practice took off once she returned to the states, where she started a more formal yoga practice with Kali Ray Tri Yoga in Santa Cruz, CA ...

Kate Lee
