Mary's classes are such a joy, and I'm delighted to have found them. It's wonderful to have a…read moreteacher in your own community, especially one who is attuned to both her students and the material. As someone with yoga training myself, I am a little more particular about the kind of class I like to take. And this makes finding Mary's classes all the more special. When there, I can go inwards and just be on my mat, knowing I have a teacher who is looking out for my alignment in a gentle way and one who invites modifications and self-care. And I love having her interweaving of the yamas/niyamas, pranayama, and chakra awareness into each class. Highly recommended!

Through a beautiful set of poses and instructions, I opened my hips and lower back. Just what I needed that day. The room is "genteelly warmed", this is not hot yoga just a warm room in the cold NEK. The space is amazing, and you will decompress the moment you enter it. Liz has the voice the language and the pace that is hypnotic to follow along with. She took me on a yoga adventure filled with highs and lows and wrapped up the session leaving me with a feelings of self worth, love and complete contentment and peace for the day ahead. I will be back to all of Liz's classes!

In 2016 when I had reconstructive ACL and Meniscus surgery, I was told it would be a long recovery…read moreof 12-18 Months. After 8 months of Physical Therapy, I was able to be turned loose to the world according to my insurance. Although my range of motion and the strength of my new ligament were good, I was still suffering from the effects of atrophy in my left leg. Knowing that my career is in the outdoor industry and how important getting back to sport fully was to me, my physical therapist suggested that I reach out and start working with Adrian to address the remaining muscular issues and prepare me for my upcoming Mountain Bike racing season. When I came in, Adrian was amazing at setting up a baseline with body measurements, strength and mobility tests. Based on these tests we set forth with a plan to even out my body left and right and build muscle for a productive season. I started working with him in January 2017 and by my first race in April, I was more even strength left and right than before my surgery, stronger than I ever have been and went on to have my most successful race season yet! I would highly recommend working with Adrian or his team for any of your fitness goals, specifically if you are wanting to come back better and stronger after an injury!

I'm sure that the only reason you don't see more 5-star reviews for Yoga Vermont is because the…read morestudents are so blissed out from class that they don't have time for writing Yelp reviews. I've taken classes with both Scott and Kathy, who have quite different approaches to but equally deep knowledge of Ashtanga yoga. Kathy is very chatty and very hands-on (with those who wish it), with plenty of compliments and suggestions for pose modifications for each of her students. Scott is a quieter sort, and while he frequently offers verbal amendments, doesn't do much hands-on assistance. Kathy seems more apt to encourage her students to modify a pose based on what they need, whereas Scott seems to encourage students to engage the pose as it was intended. (For example, I tend to brace my arm against my thigh during triangle: Kathy would encourage my use of triangle as a twist, wheres Scott recommended I instead brace my hand on my shin so I could reach higher with my other hand. Both totally correct approaches, it seems to me: just dependent on where you put your emphasis.) Whichever approach you prefer, you'll find excellent teaching at Yoga Vermont!

I can't say enough good things about this studio. Kathy is absolutely fantastic; she is my favorite…read moreof any Ashtanga instructor I've encountered. She's down to earth, fun, kind, and patient, and her knowledge of the practice is just incredible. The other Ashtangis were welcoming, too, and so inspiring :) I began working with intermediate series here last fall and my practice developed so quickly thanks to Kathy, Leo, and Scott. I broke my back in a snowboarding accident only a couple months after I discovered Yoga Vermont and I really missed practicing there --- if you are looking for a studio (albeit, Ashtanga isn't for everyone, but this isn't a review for that!), this is your place.
