 Friday, July 9th the Bikram Yoga community takes a day to honor the memory of Bishnu Ghosh, Bikram's guru, and the anniversary of his passing. In the past, Bikram has asked that all studios close for this occasion - however this year he has asked that we remain open, and instead use this time to raise money for the Bishnu Ghosh trust fund. This fund was created to perpetually support Ghosh's yoga college in Kolkata, India, where Bikram trained with Bishnu. This yoga college remains open to this day due in large part to this fund. This fund directly contributes to continuing the legacy of the Ghosh lineage of yoga.
We will hold ONLY ONE CLASS on this day at 12:00 Noon - our Karma Class - to raise money for the Ghosh fund. Admission is a suggested $10 minimum. All other classes are cancelled on this day.

 Marcia began Bikram Yoga five years ago, two years after arriving in the Valley. "I heard about Bikram Yoga from a girl in the gym, she said that I would like the intensity. So when I asked her if we could go together she said she had given her package away because this yoga wasn't for her," Marcia says, adding, "I thought hmmm, should I go? I later found out that the person she had given her package to was Misha!" Small world.
"Even though I enjoyed class on most days I struggled facing my demons as well as my reflection so I quit after 6 months, thinking that I would be better off in the gym. A year and a half later, my back and wrists were hurting me so I went back to the torture chamber. I was ready to be a student once again but this time showing myself some compassion and making peace within myself!"
arcia says Bikram Yoga is the "real deal" and she needs the intensity. "This yoga pushes me to my edge, just when I think I cannot go on, I do anyway and I don't even pass out, although I come close as the room gets quiet, dark and spins a little, what a rush!"
