Emily Garret is certified as a teacher in both Kripalu and Vajra Yoga and as a teacher trainer for Vajra Yoga. She leads trainings, workshops and retreats both nationally and internationally as well as private and group classes in Burlington, VT.

We are excited to welcome Emily once again to Greenmont Farms. In June, Emily will offer a weekly class on Wednesdays at 9 AM.

She continues to be amazed at yoga’s ability to heal physically, mentally, and emotionally. Of her practice, Emily says, “Yoga has helped me work through injury and depression with grace and curiosity. Jill Satterfield, who teaches Vajra Yoga, taught me how to breathe awareness into the most hardened and painful parts of myself. Arlene Griffin taught me the disciplined practice of directing my mind intentionally through Tantra Yoga. Ana Forrest taught me to source tremendous strength from inside. Jon Fabbro introduced me to the teachings of Chogyam Trungpa and deepened my understanding of meditation.”

My main study is daily life, where I continue to remind myself to practice awareness, to accept my feelings as they arise, and to take responsibility for my actions. I also enjoy untangling the wisdom of my heart from the web of my ego. My personal yoga and meditation practice, along with a community of wonderful teachers and students, are the greatest supports I have for this practice of life.

Emily says her students offer her tremendous insight into the human experience, “They keep me energized and inspired to teach. My hope is that each one of us finds a practice that contributes to the fullness of our lives, that we learn to observe ourselves with tremendous curiosity and compassion, and that our actions contribute to the freedom and happiness of all beings.”
