TESTIMONIALS

Steffani Plummer, Event Planner, 32 practicing 5 months
"I tell people all the time that my first Bikram class was the "singles" class...and now I am happily married. Hmmm....I work in the fitness profession and I spent years trying to find a workout that challenged me and kept me interested. From day one of Bikram, I have certainly been challenged and I actually enjoy working out! I love that I am able to see results in my body, feel healthier and be with such a great community of people."

"Initially, I chose Bikram Yoga in order to open my heart again, and to release whatever emotions that still remained embedded in my body from an extremely challenging period in my life. Within two months, the emotional, physical and spiritual growth I experienced through a near-daily practice was incredible. It's wonderful to be a part of a community - the teachers and fellow students - with such powerful, positive energy!"

Condition before beginning Bikram Yoga: Athletic, but smoked a pack of menthols a day for 15 years, diagnosed in 2005 with severe osteopenia in right hip and lower spine.

Results from Bikram Yoga:
"I decided once and for all to quit smoking on July 10, 2006 and walked into my first Bikram class the following day. I have not had one cigarette since, and only experienced one craving all year, which passed rather quickly. I had tried to quit so many times, and Bikram Yoga was my answer. This practice has changed my life in so many other ways as well. I am thrilled with the way my skin looks and feels. I have lost the 10-ish pounds I put on after giving up smoking. My entire body is becoming more toned. My hip alignment has improved dramatically (and I'll report back after my next bone density test). I am doing back-bends and spine-twists and can't believe it! I've been a borderline insomniac my entire life and I am now getting a full 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep, waking refreshed. I am more alert at work and therefore more productive (during my last review, my boss commented on the "dramatic change" in me, and gave me a huge promotion!). Digestion is smooth and natural, and my diet has naturally evolved to more wholesome foods and I think that is one of the keys to getting the most from this practice - when you let your body tell you what to do, the results can be amazing. I love my teachers at the BYI - they are talented, attentive, warm and supportive. I intend to practice Bikram Yoga as long as I am able."

Condition before beginning Bikram Yoga: Prescribed osteopinna

Results from Bikram Yoga:
"Over the past 9 years (during WHI study) my bone density has increased by 8.5% and I do not take meds any more (fosomix, estrogen, etc.). I just exercise, yoga and moderate bicycling and walking and take 120 mg of calcium daily."

Results from Bikram Yoga:
"I began my journey with Bikram Yoga with the intention of sculpting my body. Through my journey, I found inner strength and peace, realized heightened senses and awakened my spirit. My much improved physical body became just a little bonus! Bikram Yoga is absolutely for everyone."
