Midway through 2005, my sister suggested I should take my first Bikram Yoga class. The first class was heinous, as was the second and third, but for some reason I kept going back. While I had always been physically active, I found Bikram yoga’s combination of strength, flexibility, balance, endurance and focus to be uniquely challenging. It quickly become a hobby of mine – something that made me feel good, introduced me to new friends, and inspired an interest in me to study physiology and anatomy. I was fascinated by how each and every part of the human body worked together to create the 26 postures in the Bikram yoga series.
In 2008 I made the decision to become a Bikram Yoga Instructor. I wanted to help other people achieve longevity and vitality in their health and wellbeing. I wanted each and every person to feel good, like I did!
I look forward to seeing you at the studio soon!
Love Rachel
