Miranda...

Miranda in locust pose...our lovely guest teacher from Quebec is leaving mid October. Her last class is Oct. 14th.  If you haven't caught her class already, make sure you do!

She is truly a very gifted and special teacher who's positive and informative teaching has made an impact in many people's Bikram practices.   Thank you for making Miranda feel a warm Winnipeg welcome, she already hopes to return again soon!

Ivanka...

...is returning in October! YEAH!

Leah Sommerfield...

...will be in town to teach one exclusive class Thursday, October 20th at 7pm.

Leah taught with SSHY right from the very beginning. Those of you who have been with us a while are sure to remember her. A very well liked, and powerful teacher indeed! She moved to Ottawa to do her dietary internship - but she's back for a visit and one very special class. Don't miss it!

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!"
