"Well Done Michael Bielinski! Michael, our December student of the month, has become an icon at BYD. He has been coming to BYD for over two years and can always be seen in the front of the room leading the charge."

"I first stepped into Bikram Yoga Dallas on a whim after a bad ankle injury forced me to stop running. I was originally hoping keep fit until the ankle healed, but after over two years and 400 classes of yoga, I still have no plans to put my running shoes back on. Instead, I feel very fortunate to have discovered Bikram Yoga.

I have more energy than I can ever remember, I’ve reduced my body-fat, and some early signs of carpal-tunnel syndrome have greatly diminished. Perhaps more importantly, through my practice of yoga and meditation (Buddhist tradition), I have completely transformed myself from a stressed-out workaholic to a relaxed, spiritually-centered person. I lost interest in my unhealthy habits and my compulsions to drink, smoke, and get through the morning on caffeine simply fell (and stayed) to the wayside. As a result, I have greatly increased my understanding and confidence of who I really am.

Incidentally, my seasonal allergies to ragweed and cedar have also disappeared, which I can attribute to nothing but my yoga practice and healthier lifestyle. I was bald when I started, and now I have a full head of long hair. Okay, that wasn’t the yoga – I quit shaving my head. But I am truly sincere about everything else I mentioned and the fact that Bikram Yoga is on my list of life’s best discoveries."
