Ali Savitt

Ali started practicing yoga soon after moving to Burlington five years 
ago. She instantly fell in love and couldn't get enough. Taking classes at every studio and with as many teachers as she could find,
 she was amazed and excited to find so many different approaches and
 individual styles. It was then that she realized that yoga is much 
more than physical postures; it's an art form, a spiritual journey, a
way of connecting with oneself and others. Ali was mostly drawn to
 Kripalu yoga for it's emphasis on compassion, acceptance and 
self-love. She believes that anyone can feel comfortable in a Kripalu
 class, no matter what level of experience or physical limitaions they
 may have.



Ali became a certified Kripalu yoga teacher in November 2008, and 
since then has taught children and adults in New Orleans, where she
 spent this past winter, and where she has gone to volunteer for the 
past three years. She is honored and thrilled to be back in Vermont
 and teaching at Dhatri. A class with Ali is different every time, as
 she loves to share new insights and ideas with her students, and
 explore new asanas together. However, you can always expect pranayama
 (working with the breath), playfulness, music (sometimes live), and 
relaxation/meditation.



Ali is also a neonatal nurse and a Level 1 Reiki practitioner. You've 
probably seen her biking around town with vegetables in her basket, 
eating at Stone Soup, or taking a mid-day dip in the lake. She hopes
 you come play yoga with her.
