Thanks “Buffalo Bill” — now I KNOW how to get your attention in class when I need to correct you…….LOL……. Seriously, I value your opinion AND your appreciation of the studio. I could have not come this far if I didn’t have the tremendous support of yourself and the other core yogis .

What is really neat is how well our newest members are falling in line and jelling along with the rest of us “old folk” !!! Nothing is more thrilling than to hear the interaction of ALL members (new and old) and to feel the combined energy!!

I’m sure you meant to write that ALL of the teachers are EXCELLENT ……….:-))))

Thanks for taking the time to let BYPD know your feelings. We always welcome feedback from our members. This is the only way that we can grow and get better!!

Namaste`

This is a very community oriented studio….welcoming to new students and everyone seems to support one another regardless of ability levels. The quality of teachers are good to excellent and they definitely create a culture of growth and learning, “no egos”. The physical studio is “nuts and bolts” with more of a focus on the practice than the surroundings. With that said, the physical surroundings are quite adequate if your goal is the regular practice of Bikram Yoga. The new owner has paid closer attention to the hygienic aspects of the studio, not surprising, since she comes from the health industry. I’ve heard comments from other yogis that they love the positive vibe that Ann Marie is creating. She seems to intuitively know how to balance the economic realities of running a studio and catering to the needs of a diverse socioeconomic group of people. No easy job in this climate. Recently I have attended some classes that the group energy was just outstanding.

The “gestalt” of this studio is certainly greater than the sum of its parts and I feel fortunate to have such a studio to practice. Thanks Ann Marie!
