I went to the gentle stretch/savasana class recently because i'm finally at a point in my recovery from several surgeries. It turned out that I was the only one in the class (bonus) and had a private session with Katie Hebda. She was phenomenal in working through some of the areas that cause me pain. I really felt that she was listening to me and she was so encouraging throughout the entire class. I will be going back more regularly. My body felt great after the class and the next day!!

I absolutely love Lynn. I’m a newbie to Yoga and I am enjoying it! It’s the teacher who takes credit for making the class enjoyable, rewarding and Lynn is all that plus!

Having taken classes all over the country, I can confidently state that Lynn is one of the most knowledgeable yoga instructors I have ever met. I learn something new about my mind, body and yoga during each class. Lynn explains the mechanics of each pose and how it works on the muscles. I have trouble with my piriformis and her classes have done wonders to help alleviate my pain. Lynn always takes time to adjust my form, recenter my mind and keep me focused throughout the class. I am so grateful to have found her. From beginner to advanced, I highly recommend Yoga from the Heart to anyone interested in understanding yoga and learning in a warm, nonjudgemental intimate space.

I have been taking Yoga from the Heart with Lynn for a least 10 years. Now 84 years old, I enjoy each class as much as I ever did, although obviously more limited now than before. No matter. Despite my permanent beginner status, Lynn makes me feel each time as if I really contributed to the world of Yoga, as well as contributing to my own health and feeling of well-being. My yoga experience prior to meeting Lynn was varied and not really satisfactory. All that has changed! Never anyone else and hopefully I have many years to feel that I continue to make strides.

I can't say enough positive things about this studio. The space is intimate and peaceful. The studio has plentiful mats, blocks, blankets, etc. for yogis to use, which makes it easy to pop in for class after work. I always leave Katie Hebda's classes feeling like a new person! 10/10 recommend.

Truly a one of a kind yoga experience here. Katie’s class is not only enjoyable and relaxing, but you will leave feeling like you just got a massage. My neck & shoulder pain from sitting at a desk all day has gone away completely with taking class on a regular basis. The absolute best and most personal yoga experience you will have in the area!

My daughter lives in Sarasota and I wanted to plan a private restorative class for her bday. I googled yoga studios and yoga from the heart jumped out at me.
It was wonderful to deal with the office manager Susan !
We went to the class while I was visiting and I knew in an instant that Lynn and her studio just became my favorite studio.
Thankfully and happily Lynn offers live stream classes so I can still take classes even though I don’t live in the area. I even joked with my daughter that I need to move to Sarasota so I can go to the studio in person. Lol
I’ve been to many many yoga studios in both New York and California. I’ve been to classes of very famous Yogis.
But taking classes with Lynn at Yoga from the heart feels like I found my yoga home.

Yoga From the Heart is the best of the best!! Incredible and diverse teachings, numerous class options, various exciting workshops and one of a kind opportunities, kind and knowledgeable instructors, and an amazing yoga community. The restorative yoga teachings have been immensely helpful for managing anxiety and chronic pain as well as providing relaxation and incredible techniques I can practice at home. Lynn is an amazing instructor and working with her is truly life changing! I recommend this yoga studio to anyone, lifelong yoga lovers and individuals just trying yoga for the first time. The instructors take the time to get to know you and how yoga can benefit you personally. The positive impact that this studio provides to my mental and physical health is unlike anywhere else.

Yoga From the Heart’s live stream classes are an excellent way to stay connected with others and practice yoga to help manage through the COVID isolation. Long time students and those new to yoga both find great value in the classes. Lynn is an awesome teacher and it feels like we are in the yoga studio together even when I know I’m in my own home. I look forward to each class.

Excellent instruction from Lynn, Michele and Steve. On Line classes allow me to take them wherever I go. Introduced to this studio 3 years ago when I was a novice and have recommended them to others. Have learned a lot from them and intend to continue.

I have run daily for ~ 30 years and worked out with weights and equipment nearly daily for the last 20 years. My wife gifted me with a visit to Yoga from the Heart and it was simply AMAZING. Ms. Lynn is very engaging, knowledgeable and an effective communicator. Ms. Lynn not only knows the techniques, and effectively demonstrates and explains their nuances, but clearly practices the exercise herself and thus is very credible. Ms. Lynn listened and observed my situation and tailored my Yoga positions to meet my specific goals. I offer Ms. Lynn and Yoga from the Heart my highest endorsement.

Totally awesome yoga studio!!! One of the highlights of my stay in Sarasota over the winter months was attending classes at Yoga from the Heart. Lynn and staff are welcoming, highly trained to accommodate various levels of practice, and committed to honoring the art of yoga. If you’re looking for body, mind, and spiritual benefits of yoga, look no further – it’s all at Yoga from the Heart. I’m already looking forward to returning next winter!

Yoga from the Heart stands out as a safe, reputable and healing sanctuary for practicing yoga! Over my decade of practice at the studio, my knowledge and appreciation for the discipline and ancient lineage of yoga has been strengthened by the passion and meticulous support of their teachers, Lynn, Michelle and Steve, among others. They continue their own study of this ancient tradition and are constantly improving their techniques (including training with Rodney Yee) with new training in anatomy, alignment and biomechanics. They are incredibly in tune to body movement and mechanics, and make sure to sequence classes in a safe, approachable and healing way, no matter the skill level. They also offer great privates for anyone who wants to improve their study further.

Educational. Personal. Transformative. From the very first class I knew I didn't need to do any further searching. The alignment concept and teaching style that all the teachers embrace is remarkable and will leave you wanting more. Their knowledge and continued study is discernable. There is something innately beautiful in understanding why your body does what it does instead of just going through the motions. If you'd like to 'learn what yoga has to offer' versus 'taking a yoga class' this is the place to start.

I attended class with Steve last night and was thoroughly impressed with the class, from the attention to detail with each pose and student to the very nature of how the class flowed and progressed. As a casual student of yoga, the class empowered what I knew and sparked a deeper interest in my body and the practice itself. Whether you're a beginner or looking for a studio to call home, this place is welcoming and well-versed. Highly recommended (=

I can not say enough good things about this yoga studio. Lynn, the studio owner is an incredibly experienced, knowledgeable yoga teacher with an in depth comprehension of body mechanics. Lynn’s cues enable the student to understand what muscle or body part to use in a particular pose and the corresponding relationship of that movement to other movements in the body along with how it should feel. Going to one of Lynn’s classes is always a learning experience enabling me to go deeper into my yoga practice. Plus, whenever I leave I feel great! I also take classes with Michelle and Steve and they are terrific teachers as well. This is the best yoga studio in town!!

I've been practicing yoga for many years, but after my first class with Lynn at Yoga From the Heart, I knew I had found the studio for me. Lynn understands the human anatomy better than any other yoga teacher I have encountered and explains and demonstrates exactly what part of the body and what muscles we are using for each pose and how to work them. For anyone who is really interested in understanding yoga, rather than just rushing through different asanas, this is the place to be.

I checked out five other yoga studios before I walked into Yoga from the Heart some fifteen years ago. I knew I had found my yoga studio after one class. Owner Lynn Burgess is friendly, grounded, professional and extremely knowledgeable. With support from her partner, Steve Lang and Michelle Eiffert they have created a strong yoga community which I am honored to be a part of.

After months of feeling unbarably stiff every morning ,I took some good advice from a friend and got some private yoga and functional movement instruction from Lynn Burgess. Her kindness and insight was like a warm blanket. She formulated a great morning practice for me that has helped relieve what I thought was going to be chronic age related movement issues. Don't just settle for how you feel, give your body a chance. Give Lynn a call, I am really glad I did.

I would recommend this studio to anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice. The teachers here truly care about the yoga practice and will take you beyond the poses and home to yourself. They take the time to teach each student the mechanics of each pose as well as help you find a comfort and ease in the pose. I am beyond grateful to have found this studio.

This studio is exactly what I needed as a beginner in my practice. I wanted to understand more of what I had practiced at previous studios and have more confidence going into future classes.
I started with a private instruction with Lynne which was amazing and so informative for me. It made the way I currently practice so beneficial and enjoyable. I now attend classes here on a regular basis because of how much I get out of them.
The teachers at this studio are some of the most knowledgeable yoga teachers I have ever met. They love what they do and it shows through how amazing their classes are. They are so kind and helpful here. I am so happy to have found this place.
I highly recommend Yoga from the Heart to anyone from beginner to advanced. They will benefit you, I promise.

Looking for a sweet escape or home away from home to begin or continue your yoga journey? As a 22-year-old who has been practicing at Yoga from the Heart for years and loving every second, I can confidently assure you that you’ve come to the right place! I never want to leave the studio, and my reoccurring reluctance to roll up my mat is just one of the many reasons I keep returning. Stepping through the purple door at YftH is like stepping into a beautiful, peaceful paradise—one where, alongside the other happy bodies in the room, you not only find your breath, but also discover deeper parts of yourself as you are thoughtfully guided through each pose. This, of course, is all thanks to the studio’s wonderful, warm, welcoming, and well-trained teachers: Lynn, Steve, and Michelle. With her extensive knowledge and loving spirit, Lynn, the owner, has created the BEST space to truly practice yoga in a way that cultivates kindness, teaches awareness, and brings soooo many joyful smiles!

Rigidity is the opposite of flexibility. At some point Lynne stopped being a student of yoga. I found her to be presumptuous and pretentious.

If I could duplicate the studio and most importantly the teachers from Yoga From The Heart I would! Just so everyone could have the opportunity to really learn and enjoy what yoga really means. This community is so wonderful that everyone I ever talk to I always encourage them to go to at least one class. That’s enough to change your world.

I first found this lovely studio as a visitor to Sarasota in 2009, and I am delighted to be able to practice here more regularly now that I am a resident. Every student is made welcome and feels appreciated, regardless of their amount of yoga experience. Lynn's teaching is thoughtful, caring, precise, and easily adapts to the needs of the group in front of her.

When I walk into this welcoming studio, it's like a calming elixir has been offered to me. By the time I leave a class, I am floating, and the feeling carries me through my hectic week. I often "hear" Lynn's soothing voice in the back of my mind: "Relax your jaw. Are you breathing? Soften the space between your eyes." Her instructions during class are such that you don't even have to see her to know what to do. It is not a competition; you don't have to worry about how flexible you are or how well you can balance. Just pay attention to the moment, listen, and breathe. Your life begins to magically slow down and present you with lovely moments. And your body becomes pleasantly strong! If you don't end up in one of Lynn's classes, no worries. All of the instructors are fabulous! After all, Lynn trained them. You'll be in good hands. Namaste'

A very encouraging and accepting place. I found this place online and am glad. I was on vacation and thought I'd try yoga for the first time. I'd bought some workout capris because I didn't bring any with me, but I ended up forgetting them. Nothing was an issue. The teachers Lynne and Josie soothed my fears and seemed really glad that I had come. They were so helpful from beginning to end and praised me during and after class for the things I did well or correctly. I would love to see them again.
