PURE Bikram Yoga Student,
Can you believe it is already March! Our studios are busy with over 300 PURE 60 Challenge participants, and our grand finale class will be held on Sunday, March 13th, at 4pm. Craig Villani, the former head of teacher training of Bikram's Yoga College of India in Los Angeles, has trained many of your very own PURE teachers, so you'll want to take class from the man who regularly led class to over 300 people, day in and day out! He offers a unique perspective on Bikram Yoga that you will not get from any of us. When he found out that this is to be a donation based class to benefit A Glimmer of Hope, he quickly volunteered his services. Let's show him our gratitude and be ready for his class! Also one of our fellow yoginis, Loriana Hernandez, from Fox7 News, will be there to host the event. Bring a friend! Here's the schedule:
