Greetings!

 

When I graduated from Teacher Training, Bikram told us that his job had become too big for him to do by himself and that our job as a teacher was to help him.  Our East County Bikram Yoga community is too big for me to handle by myself and I rely upon all of the those individuals who teach and practice at Bikram Yoga EC/LM to help me. Currently, several of those teachers are away helping other communities in different ways.  Jake is at teacher training helping the next class of teachers to go out and bring Bikram Yoga to parts of the world where there is none.  Nelia is in the Philipines helping to care for her aging mother.  Israel will be gone until later this year. He selflessly gives to keep our country and those that we love safe during his National Guard duty. The teachers that are remaining are also doing their part to help.  They have families, ill parents, other businesses, and busy lives but are stepping up and teaching more classes to cover those teachers who are away.  

I want to express my gratitude and appreciation to my teachers, and staff for their sacrifices and all of their hard work to help keep our two Bikram studios moving forward. And of course, the yoga would be nothing without the interest of the the students taking and practicing it.  Thank you!
