Dawn Avent

I wish I could practice with Dawn every day! I absolutely love the way she cues, the postures and the flow of the postures, and the way that she offers options to make things more challenging, but also encourages listening to the body and going easy.

Dawn offers so many variations (not modifications to 'the right pose' but options making each option the 'right pose'.

Dawn is a terrific teacher who encourages us and acknowledges our accomplishments without talking about herself or how hard her work is.

As usual, Dawn's class this week was excellent! It's always just what's needed and can be as easy or challenging as you'd like because she gives cues for accomodations in both directions. Dawn's classes are somehow one-size-fits-all and custom fit at the same time. She is an excellent teacher, although she points out during each class, she's the guide and your body is the teacher. She adds meaning and purpose to each class by starting out with 'food for thought' and weaves that message throughout the class. Thanks Dawn!

Quite a workout and flew by. Terrific and attentive teacher who understands when something she says is not entirely clear.

A great combination of flow and linked to how to handle negative thinking (ie behavioral medicine techniques) and user friendly body mechanics and physiology. I am forever impressed by Dawn's fund of knowledge, her breadth of topics and I referred to above, her teaching skills, and her fundamental humanity

Dawn is innovative and supportive. 75 minutes flew by and for that entire time it never occurred to me to look at my watch.

Dawn is always prepared to deliver on a mindful, creative and challenging practice that you can enjoy at your own intensity. I love how she relates a meaningful quote, thoughtful saying or personal story to what can happen both on and off the mat. And after many years of taking her classes, I’m always excited to see what Dawn will bring next! Dawn is a passionate yogi, and she shares a practice that is positive, uplifting, and always a learning experience.

Dawn was clearly paying close attention and made some suggestions directly for me to use without in any way making me feel self conscious.

Always friendly and welcoming, no matter what you are able to do. Her style makes the class as good as it is.

Dawn is a dedicated teacher who clearly prepares for each class to be away from the mundane sequences seen often in a vinyasa class. Her cues are clear and she teaches to all levels of a class, offering level-up options and room for self-expression in a safe way. I also like that she offers herself to be available to chat at the end of class. Wonderful teacher.

Since working with Dawn my muscles and joint seem to have gotten younger! I am much more comfortable and flexible now than I was.
