Thank You For The Amazing Teachers

I've had a dozen teachers go off to Bikram Yoga teacher training over the years - but have never had them come back so ready, enthusiastic, optimistic, and happy as our RYA graduates. It really proves that a person doesn't have to be beaten down - lifting up works better. Thank you, thank you, thank you Craig and Raja Yoga Academy. Please keep doing what you're doing.

Blessings, Elizabeth Weber - Corvallis Oregon Bikram Yoga (est. 2002)
