ANCHORAGE YOGA...the hottest studio in town

I'd like to say my transition to a yoga-based life was graceful--it wasn't. An industrial explosion altered the path of all that I was and all that I wanted to be at that time. In my recovery, I returned to the familiar. I went back to the gym, back to lifting weights, and back to rebuilding what had been torn apart. Physically I could accomplish this; re-armoring my body and once more feeling strong--or protected. Emotionally and spiritually I remained a mess. My world had changed and I had not been consulted in this process. Regaining my physical strength did not return my sense of being whole. I left my home and took refuge near family in Arizona. My sister encouraged me to join her in her yoga practice. Although she told me that the class was physically challenging, I had to first overcome my negative impression of what yoga was. What little I had known simply from being alive in the 60's was quickly discarded in the heat of my first Bikram class. Under the tutelage of the venerable Cintra Brown, I was astounded by the results even within that first week of daily practice. I felt my lungs clear, my balance improve, and the initial beginnings of the re-integration of my mind, body, and spirit.

To become a teacher of this style I certified with Bikram in his Beverly Hills studio in 1996. I have since trained with teachers as diverse as Sonia Sumar (Yoga for the Special Needs Child) to Jimmy Barkan (Barkan Method of Hot Yoga) appreciating the commonality in thoughts, in language, and in spirit.

Yoga works to strengthen all aspects of ourselves. With dedication to our practice we find the pathways to physical health, mental clarity and emotional stability, but it is not without work. Come practice in this wonderful facility, enjoy the benefits of group effort, and see for yourself what amazing transformations can occur.
