Laughing River Yoga is a beautiful and welcoming space to build community. I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training here, and during the months I spent in the program, I formed truly meaningful connections, some of the best friendships I’ve ever had.

I have been coming to this studio for years (when I'm living in the US). I love this space. The studio is right on the Winooski River and in the summer, the windows are open and sometimes you can even hear the nearby falls. as for the instructors they are great and there is a nice variety of regular and special classes offered at reasonable rates. There are no joining fees and pressure to buy any of the multiple class pass options. There are also a number of classes available online. In addition, this site also has special incentives and offerings for the BIPOC community. First class is free, and I highly recommend checking it out.
