Introduction: Makaan Burt (RYT500 and CYT) has originated a refreshing new form called Nature Stone Yoga. He has studied yoga for over 40 years, including two trips to India. His primary teachers are Richard Freeman and Mukunda Stiles, from whom he was certified in yoga therapy. He has completed 14 solo wilderness yoga retreats. In Boulder Colorado, Makaan offers ayurvedic massage and yoga privates and leads workshops in wisdom stone, hot stone, back care, knee care, anatomy study, spinal curvature and postural yoga for pain, yogalates and suspension training. I enjoy bringing students and clients joy through sacred movement and touch. Testimonials: Makaan helped me immensely with my upper cervical issues as he brought to light poor posture as the major culprit. The Pranayama yoga plus his posture method was a huge help in reducing my discomfort. I continue to do my exercised daily. -Bob G. Jazz pianist I have been working with Yoga therapist and fitness expert Makaan Burt RYT,CYT for almost 9 months now and have high praise for his teaching. He is one of the most knowledgeable teachers ! We have been working out with pilates, yoga and suspension strength training. I have made progress in all of the exercises and I have a new life under his careful guidance and respect for my safety. ThanksMakaan for your great gift. Michael B., CEO, Bissonnette Funding Makaan's services are unique. Not only does he give a fantastic massage, but the entire experience is personal - he cares about you as a person and tries to create an experience that will enhance your health in many ways. -Jessica Ruda , 64 yr old skier Here is a testimonial from a long-time student: "Of his many talents, the following is a list of some of the skills that I have directly observed: - Able to juggle a lot of people's needs at once, which is a pretty big - Does not get lost in his own posture during practice but stays focused on his class' needs - Quickly determines the class level or a particularly limited student's need and assesses the best movements to do that day, never pushing beyond what the class or that individual is able to do that day - Watches closely and offers healing adjustments and ideas for each individual in a caring and sensitive way that always makes you feel special and appreciated - Insists his students work intelligently and only as much as personal limits allow, honoring getting that far - Reliable concern for students, available for advice and further instruction". -- Terry C. (MFA teacher)

Makaan helped me immensely for my upper cervical issues as he brought to light my poor posture being the major culprit. The Pranayama yoga plus the Gokehale posture method was a huge help in reducing my discomfort. I continue to do my posture exercised daily. I would strongly recommend Makaan.

Makaan has a skilled and gentle touch. His understanding not only of a body's physical mechanics but a sense for the subtler energetics makes his work therapeutically satisfying, safe and restorative.
