Congrats Challengers!

There's nothing easy about the 30 Day, 60 Day Challenge, or 10 Week Challenge. 30/40/60 hot and sweaty 90 minute classes in 30/60/70 days is tough (we don't call it a challenge for nothing!). At the end of it though, you have to admit it was worth it!
Just ask any of these yogis who recently finished their challenges!

Greetings!
BYT stands for more than Bikram Yoga Tempe; BYT also means
Be Your Truest (thanks Reba)!
We opened our doors 10 years ago on Sunday, November 17th, 2002. The night before the opening, we could not sleep due to sheer excitement and nervousness. To our surprise, we had a great turnout on opening day (this was pre-Facebook)! Several of our first students are still practicing with us today. Whether you are new to our studio or have been part of our community for years, we are so grateful for you and your continued support!
Through a decade of sweat, tears, and laughter, Bikram Yoga Tempe has morphed into something greater than we could have imagined. It's a place where you can: improve the quality of your life, go beyond your expectations, and call 'home'. It's an avenue to meet new people, a catalyst to start new beginnings. BYT has remodeled, temporarily relocated, and expanded. We started out with 17 classes per week (Elaina taught all 17 of them!) and now have 42 classes per week. Because of the support of our great community, we were able to do all this. Thank you!
Our anniversary is a time to reflect back at the good times and a time to look ahead at the future. Whatever your aspirations may be, all of us at Bikram Yoga Tempe genuinely care about you and wish you continued health and happiness. While it is a time for celebration at our studio in honor of BYT's 10 Year's in business, it is also a time for reflection on what happens outside the yoga room. Our heart goes out to those who have been deeply affected by Hurricaine Sandy. Every month for the past 10 years, BYT donates to local schools and/or local/national fundraisers for their various causes. This recent disaster on the east coast needs our attention out west. We are donating a percentage of our November sales to the American Red Cross.
Over these past 10 years we have met so many wonderful people: YOU. You have shared with us so many stories about how the yoga and community have helped you. You inspire more people than you know. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
In addition, we are eternally grateful for Bikram Yoga, Bikram and Rajashree Choudhury, and our wonderful, dedicated staff! Please take a moment review the events below!
With Great Respect and Gratitude,
Elaina and Dr. Benjamin Zorensky, ND Co-Owners of Bikram Yoga Tempe, est. 2002 |

Honoring Two 10 Year BYT Staff Members
We are grateful that Reba Aronne (teacher) and Michelle Griffin (desk adviser) have been with BYT for 10 Years!
Reba Aronne (age 41):
 My Dearest BYT,
Thank you so much for the last 10 years. I remember the first time we met, I fell in love and knew that I found home. In the first 2 years behind the desk, meeting all of our new students, building our community one sweaty body at a time I knew that I was a part of something special. Unfortunately when I went to Teacher Training I was not coming back to the BYT to teach. I had a sponsor that was opening her own studio and I was to be her Manager. It was a miracle that I was going at all so I took the bad with the good. So when I graduated from training and the studio was not open yet, Elaina opened her arms and welcomed me home again. I knew that I was suppose to be at the BYT. Throughout the last 8 years I have taught at many Bikram studios within the states. I dabbled in other styles of yoga, taught in non-heated yoga studios. One thing always happens though.. I always come home to you, BYT.
BYT you have been there for me through my many phases of yoga, more importantly the many phases of my life. While I was raising my two young boys as a single mother, while I was trying to finish college, while I started my career in Corporate Theater, while I moved every year, while I was planning a wedding, while I had teenage boys, while I had fertility issues, while I had family issues, while I found my truest self, while I struggled, while I thrived, while I smiled, while I cried, while I loved, while I lost and through everything. You have never let me down and always been there for me. The BYT is more than 4 walls with a heater. The BYT is a community of love and support, you are the best family I have ever had. The last 10 years has been fabulous. I am sure the next 10 will bring even more.
I think the thing most people forget is that BYT stands for something the other than Bikram Yoga Tempe, to me it means Be Your Truest.. Thank you Elaina and Ben for everything you have given me.
Much love and respect,
Reba
Michelle Griffin (age 37):
 Dear BYT,
It's hard to think of my favorite moment or highlight at BYT. I've acquired so many friendships, memories, and miracles at BYT. It all started as a birthday gift and it was the BEST gift I have ever received, the gift of health! The gym never worked for me; Bikram Yoga was a challenge, but I love it! Bikram Yoga changed my life--the way I interacted with others, slept, digested...The hardest part was rearranging my busy life to get there but it is worth it!
It's been 10 years and I'm looking forward to the next 90!

Halloween Staff Photos!

Can you believe Audrey wore this costume the entire 90 minutes!!?
  Charles, the grouchy tooth fairy, Jeremy the devil, and Cindy as Betty Rubble!

"A year ago, I made one of the best decisions of my life. From the moment I walked through the door of BYT, things have only gotten better. All my appreciation and gratitude to the staff for never ending encouragement, positive energy and new friends. It's the hardest, the sweatiest and the most rewarding practice. Sending my friends and fellow yogis smiles and happiness." - Sukey D.
"Bikram Yoga Tempe has fantastic teachers, owners, and rocks in cleanliness --- my favorite place to do yoga!- Bonnie C.
"If you live in the East Valley and are interested in finding health and balance, I suggest you check out Bikram Yoga in Tempe. It's a great studio (I've been to five others and this one really is a sweet one)...and the practice is truly life changing." - Nicole M.
Best of Health,
Elaina and Dr. Benjamin Zorensky, ND, Co-Owners
and Staff of Bikram Yoga Tempe, est. 2002
