I completed my Bikram Yoga training in 2005 at the College of India in Los Angeles and have since taught in California, Hawaii, and Australia. I believe Bikram Yoga is truly transformative—helping people heal from chronic conditions and even enhancing athletic performance. This practice is for beginners, guiding your body to heal and your mind to focus as it was designed.
