After 6 years of service in the Army, I struggled with the challenge of returning to civilian life. I thought I would use yoga as a mobility practice to help me with other endeavors like ultra running and endurance challenges. Little did I know I had stumbled upon a whole universe of possibilities! There is no better feeling than seeing students light up when you bring your all to class and then getting to join them side by side as peers when I am taking another class myself. Fun Fact: I expanded the classes I teach to Hot Yoga HIIT!

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 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 truly believe in the power we have to heal ourselves with this Yoga. I teach from a place of compassion, passion, and faith in the sequence and my students. In addition to teaching the Original Hot Yoga, I also teach Inferno Hot Pilates. I’m so grateful for the people (and the food!) here in Austin and at PURE. Fun Fact: I recently moved to Texas from New York, where I’ve taught and practiced for years.

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 stepped into the hot room 6 years ago and immediately felt the mental and physical benefits of movement in a heated space. In search of a yoga practice compliment (and other ways to keep warm in Chicago), I tried Inferno Hot Pilates and became hooked from the stronger muscle and cardio results. Currently, I love sharing IHP with other yogis alike and anyone looking for a fun, high-energy and challenging class. Fun Fact: I have a not so secret passion for fashion and textiles.

I took my first hot yoga and pilates class back in 2017. I instantly fell in love with the practice and saw so many improvements within my life. Not only did my physical health improve, but my mental health as well. I couldn’t go a day without practicing. I began my teaching journey May 2021 and my favorite part of teaching is creating a space where you can be the best version of yourself. Fun Fact: I got certified to teach in IHP. after years of playing collegiate soccer.

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 had recently turned 21 and had been indulging in all the freedom that came with being a full-blown “adult.” My self-esteem was shot and partying was on the rise. I didn’t love or hate my first Bikram class, but something brought me back the next day. It seemed to help put a smile on my face and so I continued to go. A year and a half into my practice I signed up to become a Bikram yoga teacher. It wasn’t until I was attending training that I really felt my body and mind begin to shift to a place I thought was not possible for me. Fun Fact: I continue to improve spines not only in Austin, but all over the world.

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
