Wanda Punt Student of the Month: Wanda "the Warrior" Punt




Wanda took her first Bikram yoga class on February 6, 2006.  400+ classes later and a religious practice 4 times per week, she feels full of energy, flexibility, and health.  Wanda thanks her teachers for being so encouraging and helpful.

Doug's words for Wanda: "Wanda is an inspiration to me and all that know her. She is a pleasure to have in the class, as she never complains, never leaves the room, works hard, and has a good attitude.   Thanks Wanda for being Wanda, all the best for the next 65 years!!!!"
