Meredith A. Hart, BA, CYT, CMT, RYT200, Yoga Therapist
Meredith's search for the understanding of her true Self led her to the study of many yogic traditions and from various spiritual teachers; however it is Svaroopa® yoga that provided the deep structural changes, healing, and transformation that facilitated a rapid advancement in her search for the more that yoga offers. Meredith has been teaching yoga since 2000 and currently holds over 1000 hours of yoga instructor and yoga therapist training combined. An avid student of Svaroopa® yoga, she regularly continues her education at the Master Yoga Teacher Institute. She has fully embraced Svaroopa® yoga because it is an effective and complete system all on its own and it simply works.
Meredith has also earned a Certificate in Massage Therapy and Bodywork, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Transpersonal Psychology and has recently concluded her time of three years with the Ayurvedic Center of Vermont as the lead panchakarma therapist. She is currently continuing her education in Ayurveda with Dr. David Frawley. Meredith is honored to share her knowledge and passion in service to her students and clients and is devoted to the power and the grace of the Svaroopa® yoga teachings. She is a registered teacher with Yoga Alliance and an active member of the Association of Integrative Medicine.

Rob Gold, BSBA, RYT200, Yoga Therapist
After decades of sports-based wear and tear on body and mind from an over-active lifestyle, Rob was introduced to Svaroopa® yoga in 2006 and the fresh paradigm of the body's workings. The supportive and easily approachable poses began unraveling layer upon layer of core tension with remarkable efficiency leading to a rapid reduction in physical pain and relief from chronic stiffness. These changes were profoundly moving to say the least, inspiring him to enroll in teacher training a few months later. It was at these intensive, multi-dimensional trainings that Rob was introduced to the vastness of yoga that lies beyond poses and anatomy, falling in love with the timeless and all-encompassing wisdom of the ancient texts, mantras and practices. Months later Rob was invited to serve Swami Nirmalananda Saraswati, the founder of Svaroopa® yoga while continuing his training and education before relocating to Vermont in 2008. He is continually amazed at the simplicity, power and accessibility of this practice and shares this passion in service to students and clients. Rob is a registered yoga instructor with the Yoga Alliance and an active member with the Association of Integrative Medicine.
