Student of the Month
|
After a hot, sweaty Bikram Yoga class, most of us leave the yoga room drenched, red faced, and couldn't bear to be seen in public! That's not the case with our August Student of the Month, Suzy Bricker. A Bikram Yoga student of over 10 years, Suzy leaves class looking as glamorous and put together as she did when she walked in...with a healthy rosy glow on her face.
Having overcome cancer and divorce in a four-year span, Suzy will be the first to tell you that it is through her Bikram Yoga practice that she was able and prepared to get through these life challenges. To Suzy, Bikram Yoga has changed her life in more ways than one.
Suzy is now a busy Health Coach with her own radio station where she gives insight and information on changing your life for the better. We are so honored to have Suzy at our Detroit Bikram studios. She is a positive ray of light who is warm, caring, and truly dedicated to her life of health and wellness. Keep it up Suzy! Click here to read Suzy's full story and photos

WELCOME NEW STUDENTS
| A warm welcome to the many new yoga students who have attended classes since the July 2011 Groupon!
It's great to see so many new faces at the studio, and with so many positive attitudes.
Due to the intensity of Bikram Yoga, there is always a mixed reaction to the 'first-class' experience, which can range from 'I love it' to 'this is not for me'. Most fall somewhere in between.
Please keep in mind, especially if you felt overwhelmed in your first few classes, that it takes about 5 to 10 classes to acclimate to exercising in the hot room, and to learn how to hydrate properly.
Listen to your body during class, take breaks when you need to by standing still or sitting down, and sip water when thirsty etc.
Don't worry if you can't do all the postures, or have trouble with your balance and flexibility, all that improves over time. It's very important that you don't compare yourself or feel competitive with other people in the room.
Persistence is so important as a beginner, try to attend class 3x per week or more. This will help you acclimate to the hot room, build strength and stamina, and steadily enjoy improvements with your health and vitality.
Talk to the teachers before or after classes, and email or call us anytime with questions you have about yoga.
We are here for you!
