My yoga journey started back in 2007 when I took my first Bikram class. I was hooked immediately. I knew this yoga was for life! The benefits I have received from practicing the 26&2 series are many. I am physically and mentally stronger, and I have developed better focus and patience inside and outside of the room. My love and passion for this yoga led me to attend an OHYA certified teacher training at Bikram Yoga North Texas in Fall 2021, where I received my 300hr teaching certification. It is an honor to teach and share my passion for this yoga with all in the hot room!

I began practicing yoga in 1981 in college and completed my first RYT200 in 1999 at the Yoga School of Nichols Hills with Valerie Kit Love. A friend told me about Bikram Yoga. They recommended it to help relieve the severe knee pain I was experiencing. The only Bikram studio at that time was in Tulsa. I immediately fell in love with the heat and the meditative quality of Bikram Yoga. I attended Bikram Teacher Training Fall 2002. I have no doubt that if I hadn't taken those classes and gone to training, I was heading surgery. It has been my dream and my honor to bring this healing yoga series to OKC. As the owner of BYOKC I love creating a space where everyone feels welcome and it is accepting community for all.
