Gayle Stone is our September 2011 Student of the Month. Why? So many reasons. This summer Gayle took on the challenge of 80 classes in 90 days. Because of being gone at one point she had to double up on classes to. The amazing Gayle got it done! Now her husband Jim has said she might back off to just one class a day...!!!

Gayle started Bikram Yoga in November 2004. After a bike crash she wasn't sure she would be able to practice. At one point she even described herself as an "orthopedic train wreck."  Ouch! That hurts just thinking about it. Gayle would come to class and do what she could. Slowly but surely her body has been healing. Much of her pain is now gone.

Today Gayle says that the triangle pose is her favorite posture because it uses so much of her body, is less work to balance and is more relaxing. Of course at one time she did not like this posture! Currently standing head to knee posture is perhaps more challenging. Maybe next week she will embrace the posture even more.

Gayle says "Pretty much all my daily activities have benefited as I have more peace in the midst of chaos, which is easy to find all around us. I can move more freely and thus enjoy other sports more."

When you see the amazing Gayle be sure to congratulate her on being Student of the Month!
