About Sangha Studio!
The word sangha translates from the Sanskrit language as “community”. Sangha Studio serves as a place where we can all feel supported and encouraged within our community, in our yoga practice, and in our lives. We aim to offer classes and events with the intention of growing community both inside and outside the studio. Offering classes for practitioners of all levels, yoga teacher meet-ups, donation-based classes, and more – Sangha Studio hopes to support not only your yoga practice, but you as an individual.
Sangha Studio opened in February 2014. From the beginning we had a goal of making yoga financially affordable and accessible to all. We wanted to offer a space for teachers and students to be creative in their ideas and supported in their efforts. In the early days, we offered an affordable option for classes, but something still just didn’t feel quite right. In the summer of 2014 we were given the idea to change our business model to be donation-based and nonprofit. This was it. It made sense for what we wanted and what our community needed. What exactly does this mean for the Burlington yoga community?

As of September 1st, 2014 Sangha Studio began offering 100% donation-based class and Sustaining Memberships where members can practice as often as they want. Everyone is invited to join our mission and become a Sustaining Member! Being a sustaining member means that you are able to come and practice as much as you would like. For non-members, all classes are donation-based at a suggested rate of $10-$15 per class, although any donation amount is appreciated. The long term goal of Sangha Studio is to offer a place of support for students and instructors as well as to bring yoga service initiatives and community outreach programs in the community. Today, Sangha Studio rolls out over 3500 mats per month, hosts over 180 classes monthly at two studio locations, and oversees programs throughout local middle and elementary schools, the hospital, and has partnered with many other nonprofits organizations to bring yoga to their clients.
