“The consistency of Bikram yoga is the cornerstone for my health
and feeling of well-being. The tougher things get, the more
important its role. Especially when I have lots of
international travel. Helps me sleep, helps digestion and helps
keep my weight in check. My friends tell me it helps my
attitude too—I’m easier to deal with when I am doing my bikrams.
5 years and counting. ….”

I am not
flexible, I am not thin, and I am not young. I started Bikram
in 2002 at the age of 55. I could barely touch my knees and I
thought I hated heat. The heat is now my friend, allowing me
to stretch in ways not possible in a cold room. Recently I had
major surgery, my recovery was fast and easy. It is Bikram
yoga that keeps me vital and healthy. What a gift I give myself
each time I attend a Bikram yoga class at the Yoga health
Center.

"Regina, thanks for the great yoga class. You are an
inspiration! I'm in the process of signing up for another
year. I really like the results I feel from yoga. Yoga is not
easy for me but I'm hanging in there. The patients I've seen
from your studio have done extremely well with chiropractic care
and it has been very rewarding. Thank you."

I just wanted to
drop you a note to tell you of my yoga breakthrough experience. I
have been a fitness enthusiastic for a long time - running, weights,
and now yoga.
Since November when I started to do yoga religiously, it has
positively impacted my weight training. In as little as 3 months,
I was able to increase my bench presses from 60 pounds to 75 pounds
unassisted, 85 pounds machine assisted. For years I have tried to
increase my strength training and couldn't, yoga has made the
difference.
As a working mother, it's hard to find time to do all the activities
you want, but yoga is definitely part of my core now....Thanks for
helping me find yoga and it's benefits, Colleen, Feb, '06
"Regina, I just wanted to say thank you for introducing my wife and I to Bikram Yoga. We are truly enjoying the instructions we are receiving from all of your instructors. They are knowledgeable, inspirational, and most of all very supportive in helping us reach our personal best. The great atmosphere that has been created in a very heated environment makes learning the yoga postures, understanding the breathing/balancing process, and working the internal organs, an awesome way to rejuvenate, relax and radiate our body, mind and soul." Jay P, Jan. '06
"I
started Bikram yoga three years ago. Having had asthma and constant
respiratory infections, I literally have never been healthier. Just ask
my family. They know. To control my asthma, I go to the allergist
regularly for immunotherapy( allergy shots). I have been receiving
shots for 8 years
and since starting Bikram yoga three years ago, I have noticed two
significant improvements: the first being a dramatic increase in peak
flow (ability to exhale) and a ceasing of respiratory infections.
Prior to
Bikram yoga, I would receive a peak flow between 480 and 550 at best.
Now I frequently register in the 600's and 700's. The peak flow
is monitored every time I go for allergy shots. Secondly, prior to
practicing Bikram yoga, I was prescribed antibiotics at least three
times a year for respiratory infections.
As a classroom teacher, I was really starting to wonder how much more my
lungs could take. Miraculously, I have not had one respiratory
infection in three years since starting this practice and have also
dramatically reduced the number of colds I was getting. Now thanks
to this practice, I can continue the job that I love.
Thanks Regina for having this studio."

"The experience I have enjoyed at
your studio has been outstanding. I have felt accepted,
welcomed and appreciated…I am a hard person to make "happy"
as a customer, if you will.
I am confident I will stick with it. I am a "stick to it"
kind of person and I do not get uptight if life's normal
ebbs & tides get in the way of something temporarily. In
short, I think you all are stuck with me in some form or
fashion! : )
I try and come every other day as I have found I "do better"
when I have a day to recover. Since Jan 03 I have lost about
45lbs. This Yoga is undoubtedly my favorite and most
rewarding exercise beyond what I do with the kids.
With appreciation, see you soon…"

Hi Regina! i just wanted to let you
know how happy i am to be back at your studio practicing bikram yoga again!! it has been quite a long time since i
was on a regular routine. i truly missed the energy,
gratification and physical/emotional benefits.
While i was "away", i was working out at a local gym. i
have to say that the energy was different and i
notice/experienced negative impact on my joints.
having only been back one week, i am much happier and
relaxed! i look forward to practicing on a regular
basis…sorry this is a bit long but i wanted to let you know
how much i missed your studio!
Namaste,
Debbie M. June '04
