Meet our September Student of the Month, Roasamaria!

In this second installment of "where are they now?", we catch up with our Queen, Rosamaria. Once upon a time, she would tell us daily "I can't do that" or exclaim "Aye Yai Yai". Not anymore! While these days she sits in a chair for some of her postures, she's still walking around town and not pushed around in a wheelchair. We all can have excuses why we can't do something. Let Rosamaria's testimony be a reason why you can do anything!

"My yoga journey began eight years ago when I was 73 years old. I never imagined I would be able to stay for 90 minutes doing exercise in that heat, but I impressed myself by doing the full class. Over the years, I have grown in my practice through the guidance of many amazing instructors that helped me understand my own body, my abilities and also my restrictions and limits. They always encourage us to do better and tell us that there is always room for improvement. This philosophy has stayed in my mind and encourages me to do better every time, not only in the studio but in my personal life as well.

Now at 81, yoga has become an integral part of my daily routine. In the past 8 years I have gone through arthritis, two knee replacements and spine complications that has impaired my mobility considerably. But just entering the studio alleviates all my aches and pains, and those 90 minutes of practice allow me to forget any worries on my mind. Although I have gained flexibility and strength, I am still working on my balance (slowly but surely)

I am so satisfied with my experience that even when my life gets complicated, I still make time for my practice. It makes me feel confident in myself and gives a sense of self respect to stay strong with my commitment. Not only that, but attending Bikram Yoga helps with my overall health and mood during the rest of the day.

I am very thankful for this studio and plan to continue attending my classes regularly. I want to express my gratitude to all my teachers who have helped me grow in my yoga journey and many of my classmates that have become my friends. It’s like visiting a second family of sweating bodies every day I join the group. I’ve had a blast!"

Meet our August Student of the Month, Erik!

Most of us want our loved ones to join us for class. That rarely happens. Our teacher, Gavon, has broken the mold and is now joined in class by his husband! Those of us who do this regularly know the benefits and also know our loved ones benefit from us coming to class. Perhaps this will inspire someone in your household to join you.

"I was very resistant to trying yoga, even though my husband, Gavon, a teacher at the studio, kept encouraging me to go. I prefer to exercise by myself and don't like to change up my routine, but I reluctantly agreed to try an evening class.

Once I started, I realized how much I enjoyed it and how inflexible I was. When I began, I couldn't touch my toes, but now I can, which is very exciting. The 26 and 2 yoga practice has been so good for me; it broke up the monotony of my constant cardio routine. Thanks to my practice, I’ve been able to return to running without the injuries that had previously sidelined me. Overall, I've seen the physical and mental benefits as my strength, balance, and flexibility have all improved.

I really enjoy this studio; it has a great sense of community among the students. Because I attend class at the same time every week, I see the same people, and it's a lot of fun to practice with them.

The teachers are all wonderful, especially my main instructor, Kyle. She gives excellent instruction and knows exactly how to push me to the next level. There are often times I think I can't do something, but she'll have none of that and tells me, "Yes, you can, and you're doing it right now." And she is always right."

Catch up with our very first Student of the Month, Michael!

Going into our eighth year, we thought it was time to do some "where are they now?" updates. Many we have highlighted have come and gone. Michael is a steadfast human with a bright spirt still gracing us with his presence sometimes daily, sometimes intermittently but always consistently when his schedule allows. As the years tick by, our yoga practice doesn't have the giant changes we once saw in the beginning. Many changes are subtle and unseen but felt and recognized by those close to us.Enjoy reading what Michael has to say about his yoga practice 8 years later!

"It's been about 8 years since the opening of Bikram Yoga Catonsville (now Hot Yoga Baltimore), and having visited other studios in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and DC, I can still say it is the best studio with the absolute best teachers I have experienced anywhere. As I've gotten a bit older, my relationship with the practice has evolved. I used to think that if I could just get myself in the studio enough times, even if that was twice (or more) a day, it would be a panacea for just about every problem I was experiencing. I found, disappointingly that that is not the case, and my perspective had to adjust to account for the fact that all-or-nothing thinking was not working for me. (Though let me be clear, the practice does indeed offer incredible and unique benefits.) It has been said repeatedly in the studio that many excel at either strength or flexibility, but very few at balance. How true this is in life, because there are always opposing realities that must be held in tension. Neither fanaticism nor pacifism can get the job done for long before going off the rails in one direction or the other. I am so grateful for the practice and what it has taught me about consistency and grit. Both of which I have soooooo much work to do on. And I am grateful for the loving teachers here who want us to get the most that we can out of each and every practice, even if that means taking a 90-minute savasana once in a while. (Except nobody ever ends up making it the entire 90 minutes before discovering they really wanted to practice after all.) And so I keep coming back, and, more than anything else, working on my balance."
