🗓️ 2023 is a fun year! In a few months it will be the TENTH anniversary of Bikram Yoga Capital Area, and in August it will be the TWENTIETH anniversary of our studio owner Ann's Bikram Yoga practice.

🤩 It is also the ONE-HUNDREDTH birthday of the opening of Bishnu Ghosh's College of Physical Education (later changed to Yoga College)....in Kolkata, India....where it all started, and where it continues today.

💜 (Bishnu Ghosh is the younger brother of Paramahansa Yogananda, for those who know if the Self-realization Fellowship or Yogananda's legacy.) 💜

As time passes, and as the world seems to get even more distracted and scattered, our faith in this consistent, comprehensive yoga method only deepens and grows.

We have very exciting stuff coming over the next few months.

And we are so grateful to be here burning the Bikram-Ghosh lineage torch for all desiring to transform and heal!!

See you in class, fellow humans and yoga buddies!!

☀️ We have decades of experience witnessing and experiencing the transformative power of the Original Hot Yoga! (a.k.a. Bikram Yoga)

🙏We are so lucky to be carrying on the Kolkata / Ghosh / Bikram lineage...

🌎... and we are the **ONLY** member of the Original Hot Yoga Association within a 60-mile radius ... the only one in all of mid-Michigan!

✋Come visit us and join us for a class if you are ever passing through!!

🤸‍♀️ It is not easy to educate in a yoga world of anything goes and yoga-can-be-anything.

(Bikram did ALWAYS tell us that the hard way is the right way!)

🌈Anyways...the thing is....YOGA **IS** everything possible...and is totally unique for every single practitioner.

🌻 You don't need to change the yoga in order to recognize this beautiful and diverse uniqueness within each person's healing, experience, and story.

🔥 Alas, discipline is usually the first thing to go when yoga gets passed along too quickly and without the backing of lineage or a deep personal commitment to the method. It's more common than not these days, so we just have to recognize it, educate a bit, and keep this torch burning!!

😍 The Original Hot Yoga Association affiliate schools, studio owners, and teachers are amazing people... all around the globe. 🌍 We are so glad to stay connected... and we welcome you to practice with us... you'll see what the big deal is all about!!!

🌅 We guarantee that once you do ten classes you will see what we are talking about. There is nothing else like it!

😅 See you in the hot room!!

Something strange yet unsurprising has happened as

Something strange yet unsurprising has happened as yoga asana practice has gotten commoditized and commercialized. And as the yoga teacher training market has made it nearly impossible for a traditional lineage to persist...

What you see out there called "yoga" has all but lost its basic principles of stillness, concentration, normal breathing, precision, faith, healing, focus on the spine, and discipline! Yet these are exactly what makes it work.

This used to trouble me to witness, but like my mom said to me once: "You can't ruin the yoga."

I responded: "That's true I guess. The yoga itself can't be messed with. It's just people's understanding that can be totally misinformed." (Not an exact quote: my language wasn't that clean 😂)

Bikram Yoga. It is still here after 50 years in the U.S.!!

Come join us for yoga that holds true to yoga - and WORKS for your healing process! - in the face of the "market" of all variety of distractions and movement, Bikram Yoga is for those wishing to transform the mind, heal the body, balance energy, and integrate the whole human system.

"I don't have time for healing." Said no one ever

"I don't have time for healing."

Said no one ever!!!

Bikram yoga is a traditional yoga practice which supports the healing process.

Stillness, normal breathing, present-moment attention, and a sequence that gets to every layer.

It is comprehensive and deep. Bones to the skin.

But you are the only one who can
Make it happen!

Join us this week for the TIME and the healing that your being has been crying and begging for!! Check out the new student special link in bio.
