BIKRAM FOR ALL MANKIND
We're always amazed at the variety of people taking classes at Bikram Sugarhouse. You come in all ages, with varying degrees of fitness, with disabilities, and striving for both spiritual and physical enlightenment. The 90 minutes of hot and challenging yoga bonds us in ways others cannot imagine. As we strive for balance in life, whether a chance to think and feel or an ultimate challenge for the body, Bikram provides a place to test our boundaries.
This fall, Bikram Sugarhouse continues to provide a full schedule of classes to meet the needs of all yogis. We have made various improvements to the studio, including new paint, an improved heating system, and more excellent teachers. As the seasons change, we hope you find yourselves increasing class attendance and going deeper into your practices. Be sure to purchase one of our class packages or passes to ensure you receive the best price for the most practice.
With Gratitude,
Your Bikram Sugarhouse Staff

Student Testimonials
Charlie Hastings wrote: I began Bikram yoga in January of 2009.
I was introduced to the practice through a friend of mine., who told me that it would be good
for me to try. It has been very hard but also very rewarding. I get stronger every practice and my body
has changed quite a bit. I still can't do all the poses like the pros but I'm getting better. I try to
practice every other day which has helped me to get more limber. Eventually
I plan on practicing every day. Bikram has helped me mentally and physically and
I would recommend it to anyone who is considering it. When stressed, which is all too often,
I stretch out and am able to relax. Everything else is manageable compared to my 90 minute workout at Bikram.

I wanted to tell you all how much I appreciate the studio and the instructors. Susan, my partner, and I added Bikram Yoga Sugarhouse to our routine in November of 2008. We immediately loved it and started showing up three times a week. Last year I took on the task of training for a Sprint Triathlon. I had to learn how to swim at age 51, since a near-drowning experience as a child left me terrified of water. This training required me to narrow my yoga sessions in order to meet my goals. At one point my trainer asked me to forfeit yoga completely; however, after seeing my strong results in the gym and on the course, he agreed that having at least one Bikram session a week gave harmony to all the other things I did to train.
Last weekend, I completed my third triathlon. I have to admit that I struggled emotionally, mentally and physically to be ready for the race. I was worn down and depressed from lack of sleep and recovery. I decided to give up any expectations for the competition except to find "flow" and participate from a place of centered focus. I truly didn't have enough physical capacity to put forth "go for the gold" effort. After holding myself to this intention and finding a fluid, fully conscious place during the race, I was shocked, completely shocked. I came home with a gold medal in my age division.
I must say that your contribution to conditioning goes beyond muscle and body. Bikram Sugarhouse has influenced my thinking and my mind. I am a different athlete, a different person, because I attend your studio. Flow in the studio and doing the best you can for each session is mindfully reinforced. I have listened and absorbed.
Thank you again for providing us with instructors and a studio designed to transform our lives.
Josh "The People's Warrior" Burkman.
Good Luck to Josh as he leaves this next week to fight in Brazil. Maybe he can report next month with his testimony!
