We'd like to offer a very warm welcome to Miranda, who will be visiting our studio Sept 18th to Oct 15th.

Here's a little bit more about her and her Bikram journey...

"I started Bikram yoga when I was 14 in 2001. I brought my mom with me to my first class. She hated it!... I loved it!..but we both kept going. I had been suffering from low blood sugar-hypoglycemia and practicing this form of yoga immediately helped me regulate my blood sugar. Just one class and I was hooked! I practiced all the time and went to training in Spring 2005 with Miranda on the rightAmanda Ing. In 2009 I was in a serious bike accident with a truck and within the same year a second accident with a car.

Bikram yoga not only completely saved my life; it optimally restored my health. That's the trade 90 minutes of torture gives for 90 years of good life! I've been teaching full time since training and just recently started traveling across the country teaching. I am ever grateful for this amazing yoga. Thank you Bikram!"

We are pleased to welcome a visiting Bikram instructor from Nanaimo to the SSHY studio! Lisa will be running the 4pm and the 6pm yoga classes on Wednesday, August 10th.  It's a great opportunity to learn from a new teacher, as we all have different styles when it comes to spreading the Bikram love.

We hope that you can attend!
