In the short period of time that Michael began Bikram Yoga, tremendous changes have occurred for him in both his body and his mind.  Since starting in September 2010 Michael has averaged about three classes a week and did complete the 30 day challenge this past April.   

When Michael started he had a neck injury from Aikido, lower back issues from sports injuries, knee issues from high school wrestling and just good old lingering injuries.  He says that he is experiencing relief and healing much faster due to Bikram Yoga. 

In Michael's words:

My Bikram Yoga practice is now generating energy. It's the only physical activity I do where I feel more energized afterward than before. My day goes better. I feel better in general. I am sleeping better and less. I am able to translate the yoga practice into work and negotiations. My health has improved and I have noticed a dramatic decrease in colds and minor illnesses. I am stronger and more balanced in my strength, but I am not lifting weights except an occasionally light workout. Bikram Yoga has been invaluable in helping me deal with the stress and demands of divorce and being a single parent, running two businesses, taking college masters classes, leading an active sports and outdoor live and doing ministry and non-profit work. I see yoga now as a lifetime activity. It's health insurance. It's life enhancement. Teacher training is now on my life adventure goal list. I am very grateful for the practice, for the clean and healthy studio and for the wonderful staff.  I am spreading the word.  Thank you.

When you see Michael at the studio or around town be sure to congratulate him on his incredible successes and being August 2011 Student of the Month!
