Hello, Friend! Read This Part First, OK?
Just to avoid confusion we should start with the basics; you’re not on a normal yoga studio website right now. We don’t have anything to sell you. You will find no purchase links, no intro deals, none of that stuff.
Second Circle isn’t a business, it’s a collective. You might think of it as a club. It’s operated entirely by members who volunteer their skills and time in service to the community. We collectively “own” the space, set the schedule, and define the rules of our group.
This collective is not exclusive. In fact, we would positively love to have you join us. Keep reading to find out more about our yoga, our family, our standards, our studio, and our schedule.
The Yoga
This is yoga for the curious, the athletic, the playful, and the sincere. Our practice is an education and a celebration of community, all at once. Our mission is to provide intelligent, invigorating yoga that meets the needs of modern humans.
The primary physical aim of the practice is to help create and maintain functional movement for your marvelous human body. So we don’t do extreme poses or contortion of any kind. We don’t stick legs behind heads or complex binds or the splits or any of that stuff. We want you to be strong and flexible, both. Dynamic and stable. Powerful and free.
The Studio
We have a beautiful, small space located at 209 College Street, right above Stone Soup. We’re hard to find (we don’t put signs up or anything) so if you’re interested in coming in make sure you contact us first. We’ll be happy to give you the what-for.

turning down the heat at second circle
Second Circle originated as a hot yoga studio. In 2021, in an effort to join a global movement to reduce energy usage, we chose to stop applying extreme temperatures in our classes and have since closed our location at 257 Pine Street.
listen: Kyle’s vpr interview
Recently, Kyle was featured on Vermont Edition with Jane Lindholm, where he had the opportunity to discuss the work of yoga in the modern world and why it’s vital that teachers and studios ever keep evolving the practice to meet the needs of modern students.
Read: On What Matters
“A question that seems only to get harder by the day: should I watch the news? The information arriving through the digital aether is so often overwhelming and negative and dark. Should I tune in or tune out? What is the responsible choice? What makes me strong? What makes me gullible? What is the line between being an informed citizen and an anxiety-ridden information addict?
These are real questions with few easy answers. And they all source back to an undeniable truth about human beings: we change each other. When I observe suffering, I feel suffering. This can have difficult emotional consequences. ”
