I started Bikram Yoga when I was sixteen.  After practicing karate for over seven years I was very tight and inflexible.  When I started, I could not even touch my toes.  For the first couple of months I was not very serious about the yoga.  I would come a couple of days a week and it was always very difficult just to get myself through the … [Read more...]

Approaching middle age, affected by a background in running, weightlifting, competitive riding and motorbiking, my joints were beginning to groan with a little feedback.  Increased flexibility was the primary goal at the onset of my practice.  I had no idea that in addition I would be awarded a complete lifestyle change.  My Ontario real estate … [Read more...]

My name is Weronika (pronounce Veronica) Hercog but everybody calls me Vee. As you can see on the picture I am a woman behind my dog Rusty. I have been practising Bikram yoga for four and a half years now. I can honestly say that I did not know myself  before I started this yoga. I struggled very much as a beginner. I could not wait for the … [Read more...]

  I am a Bikram Yoga devotee. I started Bikram Yoga the day before my 46th birthday at the Langford Studio along with Jacqueline. I was skeptical at the time but went along with the idea as Jacqueline had wanted to try the yoga for a while! I had pretty much convinced myself that it wasn’t for me, as I wasn’t very flexible, was 46 years … [Read more...]

I have practiced Bikram Yoga since April 2005. Years of running, aerobics and light weights meant that my feet, legs and hips were very tight when I first started practicing. I felt the benefits to my lower body immediately, and after about a month of regular practice the tension in my jaw, neck, shoulders and arms began to decrease as well. After … [Read more...]

When I'm laying in a pool of my own sweat and all I can think of is all the things I'm going to drink when I get out of class, I know I've reached Nirvana. When I'm in Standing Head to Knee Pose and my mind is full of everything and nothing, I feel I'm doing yoga. When I'm on the podium and I see a glint in someone's eye and the recognition that he … [Read more...]

I experienced my first ever Bikram Yoga class in November 2006 and applied for a job doing the Front Desk that same day! I knew right away this was something I wanted to be a part of. The class challenged me on every level - and continues to do so! For me this is the best way to grow as a human being. I met some of the most interesting and … [Read more...]

I completed Bikram Yoga Teacher Training in 2007 in Hawaii! I began my Bikram practice to increase my coordination and flexibility. I love this yoga because of the heat, the backward bending, the love it brings, and the fact that no class is ever the same! I usually feel great after class and will continue to practice as long as this … [Read more...]

I began practicing in July 2005.  I went in support of a friend who was going through a challenging physical and emotional time.  She discovered the yoga and couldn't stop talking about it.  It made her happy so I went along.   I had practiced assorted types of yoga over the years but had no interest in "hot" yoga.  I hated it.  It … [Read more...]
