MEET OUR TEACHERS

DEBORAH

This yoga gives me a feeling of inner peace, it strengthens your mind, changes your body and your life. I am so passionate about teaching and feel so grateful to be apart of something that has such a positive impact on peoples lives.

It was my younger sister who dragged me to my first Bikram yoga class in November 2009. During this class, I remember we both started laughing so much because we really thought this was crazy.  We still talk about this class today! It was the hardest and most challenging thing I had ever done - but, I went back the next day and practiced consistently for the next two years.

I completed teacher training in fall 2011 and it’s the best thing I have ever done. Every time I teach, I get to share what I love and most importantly, I get to help people heal their body and mind.

After 3 years of teaching, I was lucky enough to buy and run the Richmond studio. It truly is the best job in the world and I cannot imagine it not being part of my daily life.

I couldn't have found this yoga at a better time. I'd been playing professional Water Polo for the previous decade and was coming to the end of my career.

Bikram Hot Yoga is a challenging class to do but also to teach, however nothing gives me more satisfaction than seeing the look in a student's face and knowing deep down that despite the sheer struggle they are going through it is having a profound effect on their quality of life.

I have worked for Qantas in Baggage Services for the past 8 years and am that guy that gently handles your luggage like a newborn.

I have been fascinated by health, fitness and the human condition seemingly forever. For many years I was a footballer, a competitive runner and spent a great deal of time in gyms focusing on strength and conditioning.

My Yoga journey began 5 years ago using books I had borrowed to create my own sequence of postures. Then around 3 years ago, the start of 2013, I was introduced to Bikram Yoga and I thought WOW this is fantastic. So I made the commitment to become a BY Teacher and am very grateful to be part of our wonderful Bikram Community.

I began practicing Bikram Yoga in 2008, after a nervous entry into the hot room, I quickly began to see results, and these surprises were soon followed by heightened energy levels, clearer skin, a much quietened mind and deeper sleep.

I became dedicated to my practice and naturally felt the next progression was to become a teacher. One of the best decisions I have made was to attend Bikram Yoga Teachers Training in Las Vegas 2009. Even though I made some wonderful friends, one of the most important outcomes from training was the confidence I developed.

Prior to attending training, I did not have the ability to speak in front of a large group. Now I find it inspiring and energising to teach a class, big or small.

Originally from Wellington I discovered Bikram Yoga while living in London and working in marketing.

On completing a 30 day challenge I started to realise how important my

practice was becoming in my life and moved to Berlin, where I decided to become a teacher.

After returning to Wellington and teaching for a couple of years my partner and I decided to cross the ditch to Melbourne. We feel very fortunate that we can live in such a diverse and engaging city.

Sharing my love of yoga through teaching and practicing continues to amaze me. I look forward to many more happy (and hard) times in the hot room.

TIM

I went to my first class of Bikram in November 2005, after the 3rd class I wanted to know how I could teach it. It was that instant. I went to teacher training in April 2006 and have been teaching ever since. This was the first thing I had done since retiring from tack and field (110m hurdes) that had the similar mental aspect to it.

I like having the constant challenge that a Bikram yoga class brings. Being able to teach this yoga to other people is the best thing I have done. Its a great honour to be able to be a part of helping people on their personal journeys everyday.
