They were very welcoming of her and made her feel at ease even though she was a little apprehensive about starting at a new place. They were even able to supply her with some lender tap shoes on her first visit because I didn't realize she would need them. The viewing quarters are a little cramped and so far that is my only complaint. I can't even really call that a complaint because there have been empty chairs and I've had a good view of class. I'm a fan of the place as long as my daughter is a fan of the place and so far, she really likes her dance class.

Our teachers facilitate a terrific sense of camaraderie and are excellent at tailoring learning based on skill and experience level. Being part of this studio and class has enriched my life so much this year. If you are considering taking a class, you will not regret it! I wish I had started dancing sooner. I highly recommend!

Sangha studio is an incredible yoga studio in Burlington VT! There is a good variety of classes. I…read moretried my first yin yoga class there and loved it! I have also done many vinyasa style classes that have been great as well. The instructors are super welcoming and kind. The studio is donation based so whatever you can afford or choose to give is accepted. It's also a great location. Love grabbing a smoothie or coffee at the smoothie place next door after a class!

Where to I start. I like to get the uncomfortable out of the way so let's talk business. A single…read moreclass is fifteen dollars and that is very reasonable. Now let's talk spectacular! The introductory offer which I opted for, get this, thirty-nine dollars for one month unlimited yoga. Thats right $39.00. Unlimited. That is the best deal I have ever heard of for any yoga studio, and as you will see from my review this place is a spectacular yoga studio. So the deal is a steal. The regular rates are still outstanding in my opinion. The price break starts on the ten class card at $130 but in my opinion the best deal is the regular unlimited pass. For $79 you get unlimited in person and online classes. Two classes per week and you have a great deal. Three and is once again is a steal. There are numerous other options including an option which will allow you to assist LRY in reaching out to the less fortunate in our community. Since we are discussing business let's talk turkey. The website (often my least liked element of any business.) is well thought out and comprehensible even for a technophobe like me. The studio is well organized and I found the studio manager to be highly professional and approachable. She even had the aplomb to deal with me when I was upset about an issue, not LRY connected directly, and did so in a very proactive manner. Top notch business including a commitment to bringing yoga to persons who might not be able to afford or connect with the many benefits of yoga. I am fairly new to yoga but I have been to several studios. Other studios I have been to will remain unnamed because I don't want anyone to mistake this review as a criticism of them. The instruction at LRY is the best I have ever encountered. I have yet to find an instructor who is not well versed in every aspect of their particular yoga style. I will not name any of them because this would leave someone out, my memory being shady at best. On top of being obvious experts who take their craft seriously they also are multifaceted. They will bend over backwards to see you get the maximum physical emotional and spiritual benefits of yoga. If you are a beginner this studio is highly recommended for you! I would rank this studio as having top to top (no bottom here) the best instruction I have seen so far in my yoga journey. Laughing River Yoga is conveniently located in the historic Chace Mill and the studio is gorgeous. I love industrial space conversion and this fits that dynamic for me. The feel of the space is warm and inviting and one would think the prices much higher considering the luxurious space and design. I forgot to mention. During the limited duration warm weather season in Vermont you have access to classes offered at the gorgeous Burlington Surf Club location. Yoga in the midst of nature overlooking the Adirondacks and Lake Champlain, yes included in the price of the aforementioned monthly passes. Just as incredible as it sounds! In conclusion let me state three things. 1: Instruction, Instruction, Instruction. Without quality teachers a yoga studio is just a room to exercise in. 2: The prices are not just reasonable and it is impressive that they offer so much to the community and still not charge much more. I have paid $30 and up for classes that weren't nearly up to the standards of LRY. 3: The feeling of LRY if you will, is quite positive and uplifting. I have never left and felt I was let down, rather I always leave, often worn out, but buoyed by a sense of joy and presence that is most affirming and helps guide me in my blossoming yoga journey. Peace Jim

I love Laughing River Yoga. I'm especially a huge fan of Emily Garrett, one of the founders…read more I started seeing Emily for one-on-one yoga lessons when I was going through a particularly hard time of my life. I started these lessons thinking I was taking physical exercise classes that would help me strengthen and work around some rather bad injuries I'd sustained in an accident. Instead, Emily opened up a new world to me by subtly and slowly introducing me to things like mindfulness and being present. Yes, we practiced yoga postures, but it was through becoming aware of my thoughts, repetitive patterns, old habits, while taking on these postures that I began to slowly experience change. Emily is kind, patient, caring and steady. She's such a great teacher because she herself went through her own period of inner growth and self awareness (as I'm sure she'd say she and all of us are going through every day of our lives) and wants to share what she's learned with others. Every yoga teacher is on a journey. I know several in the Burlington area. It seems like one in five people you meet up here are certified. If I had to choose just one to practice with it would be Emily. She's not trying to prove anything. Yoga is more to her than a set of difficult physical postures or achieving inhuman flexibility. Relative to most yoga instructors she is wise beyond her years, balanced and aware. I think she's fabulous. I'm writing this review because I love Laughing River Yoga and Emily Garrett, but also because I saw a one star review by a woman that said some rather uncharitable things. She was visiting from out of town and went to the studio once. It's possible that she had a bad experience. We all have bad days, off days. No one is perfect. But I know with complete certainty that yoga and the Laughing River practice is extremely important to Emily and her staff and I would recommend them whole heartedly. There are several yoga studios in the Burlington area. Visit them and decide which one is right for you. I'm not practicing yoga currently, but if I were, I would go to Laughing River and practice with Emily Garrett whenever possible.
