Student of the Month

Every once in a while a student writes a testimonial that gives me goosebumps. That is true in the case of Sarah. Sarah has been practicing Bikram Yoga for about three years. She is very active working on small expedition boats in Alaska, Baja and Hawaii. When she is not on the boat she is here and Bend and attends yoga class as much as possible - normally about five days a week. Sarah says that her whole life is in yoga terms now and helps her be in control, as well as helping her to let go.
 
We asked the question "do you have an illness or condition that Bikram Yoga has helped?" With her permission following are Sarah's exact words:
 
Severe dietary and digestion issues, insomnia. I have Tourette's Syndrome (a neurological disorder). I never tell anyone this - only my family knows. For my whole life Tourette's has wrecked havoc on my body physically. There was never a time when I wasn't rigid or tense, constantly holding things in and keeping it together. Mentally it is exhausting too. I am on alert at all times - making the word relax completely foreign. For years I was told that I should try yoga, but my schedule was never right. When I moved to Bend I made yoga a priority. I only chose Bikram because of the location. It was the best choice I ever made. It has helped me in so many ways. It is an outlet that has helped me take back control. While it is not a cure it helps me to manage my life in a calmer happier way. Thank you for all your positive energy and encouragement. I look forward to a life time of yoga.
 
Be sure that next time you see Sarah congratulate her on being Student of the Month..!!
