Fitness and PURE have been my lifeline for over a year now! I just love anything challenging that pushes my limits and makes me feel accomplished and satisfied for the day, whether it's Yoga, Inferno Hot Pilates, HIIT, or walking my dog. While working out keeps me mentally focused, it's also a service to help others reach their goals and stay motivated to be the best versions of themselves. Fun Fact: Singing and dancing are my secret passions!

I believe this form of yoga consistently changes to our bodies in a positive way. My classes are upbeat and I always encourage my students to be strong in their practice, but at the same time to feel safe. Students can expect a challenging and intense experience. All that I ask is that they do their best. Fun Fact: I'm a proud mother of four and now a grandmother!

I am continuously inspired by the student testimonials we hear on a daily basis. I love the yoga community. Musicians, artists, athletes, moms and dads, students and seniors, high techs and corporate execs—all stand side-by-side in class—improving their daily lives through yoga practice. Seeing every smiling, happy face leave our studios energizes me and is my constant source of inspiration. Fun Fact: Stay late at the studio someday and join me for my other favorite practice: Kendo (the Japanese "way of the sword")

I have studied Bikram Yoga extensively since 2010 after branching out from my Vinyasa practice in 2007. My love for exploration of the body and different styles of Yoga has not slowed since. I was the 2016-17 International Yoga Sports Federation champion, as well as the 2015 and 2016 United States Yoga Champion. Fun Fact: In my professional life, I am an academic research scientist specializing in the study of viruses.

I fell in love with the hot room on my first day. The challenge of every class, the subtle and hard won depth within each posture has been a saving grace both mentally and physically. After taking a break to rehabilitate from major surgery, I was encouraged to try Inferno Hot Pilates and found the strength perfectly balanced the flexibility from my Yoga practice, and I soon became a teacher. The joy of leading a class is a privilege and truly a labor of love. Fun Fact: I'm a westcoast girl at heart and can be found in my happy place hiking in the mountains or anywhere near water!

I tried an Inferno Hot Pilates (IHP) class in 2019 and never looked back. After my first class in the heated studio, I made IHP and Bikram part of my routine and now I can’t live without them. Within weeks of my practice, I saw improvements in my health and mood. I’m mostly grateful that these practices instilled a sense of self-autonomy: I feel empowered to make the changes I wish to see in my life. I strive to inspire my students in a similar way. Fun Fact: I’m working on a masters in clinical mental health from SMU. If I’m not studying or playing tennis, I’m reading on the sofa my English bulldog, Wilson, and German shepherd, Sofia.

I took my first 26 and 2 hot yoga class in 2010 during a bout of depression after I graduated college.

Fun Fact: I love learning about all different styles and modalities of Yoga, and enjoy learning from teachers around the world.

The greatest reward of being a studio owner is witnessing the startling transformations in beginning students and helping them motivate themselves to develop long-term yoga practices to reap and maintain the health benefits of this unique system of hatha yoga. Since starting my own practice in 1998 and opening my first studio in 2003, I can think of no greater calling than sharing this practice. Fun Fact: One of my favorite things is curating the aesthetic of the studios, keeping them chic, simple, and a canvas for your transformation.

Monica O.

I went to teacher training in Spring of 2011 because I wanted to dedicate my life to the practice that was making me so happy. Since my first Bikram Yoga class, I fell in love. I started practicing everyday and seeing improvements in my body and mind. After class I felt great, I gained confidence, and I was completely fulfilled and happy. Finding Bikram Yoga was like finding where I belong. Since then, I have also found the power of adding other modalities to my life such as Ashtanga and Inferno Hot Pilates, and have become certified to share both. Fun Fact: I started practicing in Santiago de Chile in 2008, and since then I’ve never stopped!

I first found Bikram yoga in 2006, in my hometown of Leicester, UK. The 90 minute class was the perfect medicine after years of back pain. After attending teacher training in 2008, and a brief stay in London, she eventually moved to North Texas. I also teach IHP and Yin classes. I find the three classes compliment each other perfectly, giving you a nice balance of strength and flexibility. My focus is always on doing things the right way. Always alignment over depth, and making it accessible to everyone! Fun Fact: I have been living in North Texas since 2019 and am a mother to two beautiful boys

I started practicing Bikram yoga in 2000 in Dallas. At the time I owned and operated a natural/integrative healing practice. I helped people with pain management, injury recovery and overall body and health maintenance. The yoga became a huge part of my own self-care at that time. The more I practiced the more I discovered it’s profound healing benefits. I went to teacher training in spring of 2002. I saw the 26 and 2 as another healing modality I could put into practice for myself and my clients. My relationship with this yoga has grown deeper with every year. I am happy and humbled by every class I take and every class I teach. Fun Fact: Currently, in addition to teaching, I make art, practice esthetics, practice TM, and write - all with deep gratitude.
