"When I walked into Lynn's class I felt warm and welcome.  Lynn is an excellent teacher who is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, encouraging and positive.  She cares about all of her students I can feel it in our classes.  Lynn shares pieces of herself.  She makes me feel like part of the family."

"I have exercised regularly my through out my entire adult life with the usual cardio, tennis, and weight-training. I considered yoga before (and even tried it with other instructors), but had the misconception that it was not active enough to burn calories. Boy was I wrong!

Yoga can be quite a challenging workout, and yoga with Lynn Burgess has totally changed my life!  As a result of my regular yoga practice for the last three years, I am much stronger in my core, have greater flexibility (and fewer injuries), better posture, and a more peaceful inner self. My body now craves yoga. Thank you, Lynn, for sharing the gift of yoga with me."

"I recently moved from the Boston area where I had been with one yoga teacher for 8 years; and I was a bit apprehensive about both the level of classes and the general ambience of a new yoga studio. Yoga from the Heart has been one of the best things that happened to me this past year!

Lynn is a knowledgeable and caring teacher who teaches with joy, patience, and understanding. She has created a place where teachers and students grow in a mutually supportive, respectful and enjoyable environment.

Yoga for the mind and body and lots of heart."

"A busy stressed out executive I walked into YftH a year ago with the intent of giving myself an hour a week of decompression.

What I received was so much more.  From the first class Lynn and all of her instructors opened their arms and hearts to me (as a new yogini) and taught me not only about the beautiful practice of yoga in a non judgmental way, but about how I can bring peace and relaxation to every part of my life outside the studio.  The team at YftH have made me truly fall in love with the yoga practice.

There is a reason why YftH is considered the best studio in town!"

--Alex Miller

"When I moved to Sarasota I searched for an experienced teacher from whom I could learn more about the philosophy and methodology of yoga and bring my own practice to a deeper level.

This search led me to Lynn Burgess at Yoga from the Heart. YftH is the place for students of all levels to deepen their practice. While I was initially drawn to the studio because of Lynn's reputation in the community, I have found that all of the teachers at YftH are excellent.

Lynn has set high standards for her teaching staff and you will find that they are all very welcoming, knowledgeable and dedicated to the practice and study of yoga. Whether you are an experienced practitioner or trying yoga for the first time, you will find a home at YftH.”

When Wendy is not in the studio, or off-shore chasing Grouper, she can be found traveling around the world with her yoga mat.  She works for a not-for-profit microfinance organization that builds banks for the poor in nine countries in Africa and other developing nations around the world.

"When Lynn Burgess enters her studio, she brings an abundance of sunshine, radiance and positive energy. Newcomers to class are immediately re-assured that they too will succeed, even if other students have been practicing for years. Lynn has a sense of humor that puts everyone at ease and a calming manner that encourages, challenges and rewards all who come into contact with her. When you finish a class with Lynn, the yoga experience is even more enriching because the teacher is a truly beautiful human being."

--Marji Bitterman

"What impresses me about Lynn is that her yoga practice is not her job or just her teaching, it is HER - her everyday experience, her life, her joy and she shares this gift with love, warmth and laughter. You feel that she is having fun, enjoying this experience, and is grateful to have you as a part of it. She is committed to her lifestyle and finds a way for it to fit, in spite of having to deal with the challenges of everyday life. Lynn is graceful, physically fit, and has a beautiful glow that comes from within. She has a deep respect and wisdom of what she needs to do in order to be all that she can and wants to be."

--Cindy Samwebber

"Lynn champions every individual no matter how small the success or how difficult their journey.  Her ability to touch an individual at their core is amazing.  She is a role model for women and men alike."

--Peggy Rometo

"Lynn Burgess is an extraordinary person, with a deep and clear commitment to the practice of yoga. That practice expresses itself personally and professionally through her thinking, attitude and behavior. Her instruction and teaching is insightful, technical, practical and most of all authentic. Her commitment to the correctness and integrity to yoga is inspiring. At a time of 'pop yoga dejour' Lynn’s traditional instruction keeps the yoga practice real. My time with Lynn as a student and as a teacher in training has been inwardly reveling and outwardly transforming. If you are interested in practicing yoga there is no other instructor / teacher to consider then Lynn Burgess."
