Meet the support crew

Chrissie – Front Desk Filly

Over the many many years I’ve worked here, I’ve seen many transformations and can’t believe how youthful, energetic and glowing our students look from practising Bikram yoga regularly (I’d say 3 times a week is a good basis).
A lot of people my age (I’m in my 60s) think that Bikram is going to be too hard and is only for young people. And I must admit, it’s certainly not lawn bowls, but you can definitely do it at any age and the benefits are so amazing, it makes it so worthwhile. You just feel great after a class. I recommend it to everyone because I really believe in its health-giving benefits.
