When I was at the Bikram Training last year in Phuket I met a trainee Carina who shared my love of one pieces and recently she has shared her inspirational story of how Bikram yoga has changed her life.

"I'm here to prove that this yoga is transformational," she said. "If you're open to receiving, you never know what the universe will give you. I'm so grateful to be where I am."

Bikram Yoga is not just a physical workout, it's a deeply therapeutic way of healing the body, mind and soul and I see it every time I'm in the room, teaching or practicing. The yoga has certainly transformed my life for the better, building myself back from so many physical ailments and getting rid of depression and mind clutter. This article is just another reminder of how wonderful this yoga is!

Bikram yoga certainly has changed my life, and this is yet another inspiring story of how it has affected someone else. From the students who courageous walk into the room and open themselves up to healing, to the teachers who inspire and give out their energy, to the studio owners who offer a safe and nurturing haven for everyone to come be themselves and create their own empowerment. Yoga is life, here's how it changed mine!

Ashes and Snow by Gregory Colbert from Gregory Colbert on Vimeo.

Gregory Colbert’s Ashes and Snow feature film captures extraordinary moments of contact between people and animals as seen through the lens of the artist’s camera on more than thirty expeditions to some of the earth's most remote places. Written, directed, produced, and filmed by Gregory Colbert, it is a poetic field study that depicts the world not as it is, but as it might be—a world in which the natural and artificial boundaries separating humans from other species do not exist. The viewing experience is one of wonder and contemplation, serenity, and hope.

How Bikram Yoga Saved My Life

It's always nice to read and hear of inspirational stories regarding health and overcoming challenges and this article hits the spot. As a Bikram teacher I've seen students working through debilitating diseases as well as overcome mental and emotional hardship. Yoga in all forms is so therapeutic and I speak from firsthand experience, having spent the last 15 years of my life with health problems and not being able to find a cure. Amy nails it with:

"the point I would really like to impress is, that you just can’t quit on life.
It’s not over, you can heal yourself. Just get out there and do something, anything.
Even if Bikram is not for you, no yoga is bad yoga."

Yoga Now Standard Treatment for Vets with PTSD

17/8/2014

Yoga is so therapeutic for not only the body, but more importantly, providing therapy mentally and emotionally. I think it's wonderful to introduce it for PTSD as an alternative therapy rather than medicating these people. The same applies to everyone who has had trauma in their lives. I remember one time I was the doctors, the doctor treating me saw that I had fibromyalgia and compartment syndrome and she asked why I wasn't on antidepressants. When I asked her why did I need them, her answer to me was "well, don't you want to be happy?". I just laughed.

Instead of looking for a quick fix, medicating the symptoms and suppressing the problem, isn't it better to slowly over time deal with the issues in learning how to manage, overcome, accept whatever is going on and working therapeutically to release the trauma, even if it does take longer. We are so much stronger than we give ourselves credit for.

    "I am not what happened to me,
    I am what I choose to become"
    Carl Gustave Jung

    I'm Binny, a full time Bikram Yoga teacher and studio owner that lives in Perth, Australia.

    I started this blog to share the things I love the best in the world: being healthy and happy, food (especially raw), yoga, traveling and most importantly, learning how to love and be true to myself.

    I suffered from severe digestive problems when I was younger, being gluten and lactose intolerant, and developed compartment syndrome and fibromyalgia in my teens. I have lived with constant pain for over 16 years now.

    Over the past 10 years, I've shifted to a mainly plant based diet and realised that being well and healthy is a way of life. I have been teaching Bikram yoga since 2011, in the US and Australia. Due to my health issues I've also had a lot of bodywork done as well as explored alternative therapies.

    I've become much more aware of myself as a result of all this - physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Right now I love my life. In my career I love what I do and I do what I love. I have traveled to some amazing places around the world and made lifelong friends. In between working and traveling, I cook up a storm in the kitchen, especially raw  desserts, spend time with the people I love the best, which now includes a yoga husband, a mini yogini Estell, and our dog! I try to listen to my body the best I can.

    I truly believe that we all have the power and the capabilities to heal our own bodies, to nourish the spirit and seek our own happiness and life's purpose. This my journey...
