Why it's important to have Bikram Certified Instructors
Bikram Yoga is the Original Hot Yoga. Many claim to teach "Bikram Yoga", but unless your studio has Bikram Certified Instructors leading you through your practice, you are not receiving the true Bikram Method Yoga. Find out why it is important to learn from Bikram Certified Instructors.

Why I became an instructor The yoga room became my sanctuary. I began to see the "real me" as I looked in the mirror and not so much the person my business card said I was. I knew at that point I was on my way back home. In January 2004, almost 40 pounds lighter, stronger inside and out and with the encouragement of Andrea and my husband Roy, I resigned from my job to become a Yoga teacher. Walking away from all the things that I thought defined me was scary. I now realize that I define me. My life since teacher training has been a blessing. I now teach exclusively at the BYI and I am the Studio Manager. My marriage of 25 yrs is stronger than ever, I still have some challenges physically, that I will work through. To practice with some limitations, has taken me to a new place of understanding and compassion. I can teach it because I know it for myself. The benefits are real. Just show up and do your best! |

Why I became an instructor Throughout my live yoga has helped me through many stressful situations. It is the only place I can go and forget about the outside world for 90 minutes. I decided to go to teacher training when I realized that I was promoting regular yoga practice to my patients just as much as regular flossing (I'm a dental hygienist). I realized how much I enjoyed sharing and spreading this great practice. By becoming a Bikram teacher, I hope to touch as many people's lives as possible with this wonderful practice. |

Why I became an instructor During my first Bikram class, I left the room 4 times and did not return for a month. I remember watching a 60 year old woman having fun in class. At the time, I was only 22 and wondered why I couldn't handle it? So I went back to class and was hooked! Not only did I heal my back, I am now in the best shape of my life. I have the tools to take care of myself, to heal myself. My body is more efficient, I no longer have heartburn, my knees are stronger, I don't have chronic pain, and my immune system is much stronger. The improvements listed above lead me to the Bikram teacher training in Acapulco Spring of 2008. I love teaching because I am surrounded by like-minded people who are motivated to improve their life. If there is one thing you come to class for, there are 10 other things that improve without even knowing it! |

Why I became an instructor Since beginning my practice of Bikram yoga in the Spring of 2004, I have learned to use yoga to aid in managing myself. Bikram yoga helps me to keep a greater perspective on my life and who God has created me to be. Each time I practice Bikram yoga, I am encouraged to accept myself as I am. I have found no other exercise that promotes the physical and mental well being like Bikram yoga. |

Why I became an instructor I really believe in Bikram Yoga and what it can do for one's body, mind and spirit. I started yoga back in the spring of 2003. I had abused my body doing other sports so a very dear friend of mine took me to my first yoga class. She is still a dear to my heart friend. I started seeing results in taking care of lower back issues (herniated disk), knee pain from High School and the list goes on. Then I was hit with a double whammy when within a 2 year period I lost two very special people in my life. Yoga and my yoga family helped me through my grief and healing process. So now I want to share my passion for the yoga on how it is there to balance out one's body, sole and spirit. We do survive physical and emotion pain and come out better and stronger people. I want to share that with all and be there to help others through there struggles to become healthy in all aspects. |
