Lisa Levangie
Lisa Levangie is a certified Hot Yoga (R.Y.T)
instructor who trained with Jimmy Barkan from the Yoga College
of India. Yoga came into Lisa's life more than 15 years ago
and was led to hot yoga for health reasons. "Yoga
brings my physical, mental and spiritual health into balance
and keeps me centered on and off the mat." Lisa started
practicing Bikram yoga with Linda at Geezum
Crow and after a few years moved to Bennington
where she discovered right away there was no hot yoga.
Lisa went and trained with Jimmy Barkan and came back to teach
in Bennington for the past five years. Lisa's passion for yoga
has grown over the years as she has trained with
Seane Corn, Shiva Rea, and Todd Norian. She continues to train
with Jimmy Barkan when she can and explores the Eight Limb
Path in her own practice. Lisa recently moved back to the area
and is excited to have the opportunity to continue her teaching
and practicing.
Anna Van Fleet
Anna first discovered yoga in 2000 with the Supple Body books. The quiet and calm of purposeful stretching inspired an introspective mental state that felt like home. Anna practiced in New York, NY at various studios, in various styles, including vinyasa, anusara, and iyengar yoga. Practicing Bikram yoga deepened her passion as she began working with what Bikram calls the "cosmic mirror" of the Bikram practice. Her qualities of mindfulness and self-acceptance blossomed and she decided to follow her dream of teaching yoga. Anna hopes to continue as both a student and teacher, broadening in scope to include viniyoga, anusara yoga, and meditation.

She holds a Dance Therapy concentration from Goucher College, where she majored in Dance and Psychology, and finds great satisfaction in reaching out to others through use of the body. Yoga came into her path several years ago, as a way to cope from the stresses of transitioning from student to professional. Yoga has helped her in almost every chaotic situation since. Hanna's classes focus on the intricacies in our anatomical structure, how breath can give energy, and how strength can combat mental and physical illness. Her classes emphasize the importance of balancing strength and flexibility, both in character and physical form, and her intention is to promote an inner sense of both stability as well as peace.
