Catch up with Libby, our June Student of the Month!

When we first met Libby, her life was very different. She was living here in Baltimore and joining us live. Since then, she has suffered unthinkable loss, has moved multiple times and yet, has stayed true to her yoga practice with us. We are forged and formed in that hot room day in and day out in the best way possible. You can find a Bikram Yoga class most anywhere, but when community becomes like family, you stay connected no matter where you go. We're so grateful to have a virtual option for students to continue with us no matter where they go in the world.

"It’s been two years now since my son’s passing and since our move to Texas. Healing is still very much an ongoing process—some days soft, some days sharp—but I’m finding my way, one breath and one moment at a time.
Texas has been mostly good to us. There’s a steadiness here, a different kind of landscape and pace that has helped me rebuild pieces of myself. Even so, I deeply miss everyone in Maryland. Though I wasn’t originally from there, the community I found—my yoga family, friends, and the people who held me through some of the hardest seasons of my life—will always feel like home in its own way. I’m endlessly grateful for those connections and the love that continues to reach me across the miles.
Life here has its own rhythm now. I’m still working, practicing Bikram whenever I can, swimming, and traveling back to Maryland to stay connected to the people who matter so much to me. Those visits refill me and remind me that distance doesn’t diminish love.
This is just a small update from my heart: I’m still healing, still growing, still finding beauty in the life unfolding here in Texas. And I’m grateful—truly grateful—for every person who has walked with me, supported me, and stayed close through all of it. My heart holds many places, and somehow that feels exactly right.

Even from a distance, I’ve stayed connected to the yoga community that shaped so much of my healing. I practice with the studio remotely because it still feels like home — the energy, our teachers. There’s a familiarity in their voices and their rhythm that settles me in a way nothing else here quite does. When I log in, it’s as if a part of my old life reaches through the screen and reminds me who I am beneath all the layers of grief and rebuilding. It’s one of the few places where my body remembers safety, strength, and softness all at once. That continuity has mattered more than I can express."

Meet our May Student of the Month, Vicki!

Vicki, along with her husband, Dave, have been part of our community since early 2018. They may not be daily practitioners, but they are committed and consistent over all these years. We are so grateful to have this joyous and gentle spirit grace us with her presence. Our students have such a wide variety of talents, and Vicki is certainly one of them! She makes a soothing salve that helps your muscles and joints feel better when you can't make it to yoga or push a little too hard in class. Pick up some at the studio today and support another local business owner!

"When Lynne asked me to be student of the month, I told her that I did not feel qualified since I am a once a week-er. She just smiled and I said yes!

Eight years ago a friend, Barb Weisman, kept bugging me to try Bikram Yoga at this great place. I put her off for awhile and finally gave in. Going to my first class I was very nervous, but everyone was so nice and the studio was clean and inviting. The class was brutal! During the floor poses I kept thinking that the staff had used ammonia based products to clean. Little did I realize the smell was coming from me! My first time really felt like an accomplishment, and I decided to try it again even though I dreaded it.

It didn't take long for me to stop dreading the class (and stop smelling like ammonia), but to look forward to the one and a half hours that made my mind and body feel good.

As I reflect over these past eight years , things have changed in my practice and my body. After a knee surgery and added years, I can't do some of the poses like I used to and have to modify. I have surprised myself with this acceptance and feel gratitude for what I can do in such a supportive, healthy environment with amazing people. The top I always wear says "The Journey Is The Destination" and hope my Bikram journey continues for many years to come.

During the years I have had many instructors, and can honestly say I have liked everyone and have gotten what I needed from every class. The same goes for the friendliness of the studio and the wonderful diverse group that surrounds me in the room. The practice is so special for my body and soul, and thank you Lynne and Frank for creating an awesome, healing, inviting studio!

PS, Any muscle or joint aches or pains? I love gardening, and have made healing salve with CBD and THC from my homegrown product and other natural and organic ingredients. Check it out at the studio."

It's another "Where are they now"?

Catch up wtih Lauren!

When we first introduced Lauren, she was pretty new to our studio. A few years later, she's become a daily 9am staple! Some may look at her and think, I want to be like that. And you can! Her consistency and commitment began by just starting. Showing up became a habit and her presence feels like family.

"For over five years, Bikram yoga has been far more than just a workout; it has become the cornerstone of my daily life. Every morning, I step into the hot room to start my day right, dedicating 90 minutes to a moving meditation that allows the outside world to simply melt away. This practice provides a rare sanctuary where I can focus entirely on my breath and my body, turning inward to heal ailments and build a level of discipline I never knew I possessed.

The physical challenge is intense, but that is exactly why I love it. I find deep satisfaction in the precision of the dialogue and the demand of the postures. My favorite part of the series is the standing set, specifically:

Standing Head to Knee: For the incredible mental determination and balance it requires.

Triangle: The "master posture" that builds immense strength and opens the entire body.

Eagle: A perfect moment of focus that opens the major joints and resets the nervous system.

What keeps me coming back every single day, however, isn't just the sweat—it’s the people. Over the last half-decade, our yoga community has transformed from familiar faces into a second family. We sweat, struggle, and grow together, creating a bond that extends far beyond the studio walls. After five years of practice, I am stronger and more resilient than ever, and I am so grateful for this journey of constant self-discovery."

Meet our March Student of the Month, Krystin!

Did you ever have a healthy habit and then you just stopped doing it? Like many, Covid led people away from their practice. It's always so inspiring to have a student like Krystin return to the yoga room so wholeheartedly. No matter how far you've fallen away, you can always get back up and start again.

"My Bikram journey started back in 2010 when I tagged along with my best friend to try a class. I needed a workout routine and was intrigued by the 90-minute sequence of doing each posture twice. I despise being cold, and since it was wintertime, I was also excited about the heated room. After my first class, I was instantly hooked.

I practiced regularly at a couple of different studios for several years. I couldn’t tell you why, but for some reason, I drifted away from it. Over the years, I tried different types of yoga, although none compared to Bikram for me. I had gotten into a gym routine, and then when COVID hit and everything shut down I started running outside. Of course that eventually became tough on my 40+ year old joints.

Most recently, I joined a gym that offers yoga classes, but they just weren’t doing it for me. I still work out there, but I was missing Bikram. I love the focus, discipline, and consistency of this practice. I love that it is always the same, but also, day to day, it is never the same. I love how it helps me quiet my mind and just be present in class. I love how much I sweat and the way I feel after each class.

I thought coming back after so many years would be difficult, but after one class, I was hooked all over again. I love showing up to a space where everyone practices regularly and the energy of the students and instructors is so welcoming. Every time I come to class, I’m reminded why I love this practice so much."

Meet our February Student of the Month, Hannah!

Hannah is a kind and gentle spirit who graces us with her presence most everyday! While most of our students find us after they've weathered a multitude of injuries or surgeries, Hannah is fortunate to find us without that kind of experience. In a world filled with people seeking immediate gratification, it's refreshing to know there are still people looking to develop discipline and play the long game that lead to sustainable health and wellness.

"I have always enjoyed exercising but there are times where I get bored of the gym/lose motivation, and I wanted to find something that I love and could get into a consistent routine of. After I moved to Baltimore, I discovered this studio so I went to a class and left feeling touched by an angel. I could not believe how great I felt mind body and soul. After every class I feel so accomplished, because it is no easy feat, and I always leave in a state of pure bliss. I try to make it to the morning classes almost every day if my schedule allows, because I feel like it sets a positive tone for my whole day, and helps me stay motivated, productive, and relaxed. I tend to be a scatterbrain and am easily distracted (lol), but doing yoga is a great way for me to block out everything in life and focus only my practice. It provides structure for me because it helps me stay disciplined by showing up to class, showing up for myself, and giving myself those 90 minutes of concentration and focus. I like that no matter how many classes I do, it is still always a challenge, and makes me want to push myself to hit each posture better and with more strength/focus than the last class. All of the instructors are so kind and knowledgeable and give such amazing/thorough instructions to make sure you are doing each posture safely and properly which I appreciate so much. I find myself preaching to others on a daily basis that they must try yoga, how much it will do for them both mentally and physically, and how much strength it truly does take. I have discovered such an interest and passion to the point that at the start of this year I have begun studying it more in depth and am working on my yoga teaching certifications, so that hopefully one day I am able to instruct and help others on their own yoga journeys. Shoutout to Hot Yoga Baltimore, and to all of the instructors and yogi’s who make it such a wonderful and inviting environment. I am honored to be student of this month and look forward to what the rest of this journey holds for me ☮️❤️🧘🏻‍♀️"

Catch up with Daina as we and see "where she is now"!

As we embrace the new year and consider the changes and habits we aim to adopt, Daina exemplifies someone who has already embraced these goals. Year after year, she consistently attends class. We first recognized her dedication during the pandemic when she continuously participated via Zoom. Even when she travels to South Carolina to visit her children and grandchildren, she joins the class from wherever she is, including from the bathroom there. It's the daily actions that shape us, and Daina is truly an inspiration and encouragement for everyone!

"My yoga journey began 20 years ago with a religious devotion to Vinyasa yoga. I paired that with a daily run (a lot of exercise for a person on a given day) and I felt good. Every so often I'd ponder how long this exercise regimen would be sustainable, but I kept at it. I had been a runner since the age of 16 and imagined that I would continue running in my 60's and 70's at the very least (I just turned 60 this year). Eventually, my oldest daughter, who was on her own yoga journey, challenged me to explore various styles of yoga—Ashtanga, Kundalini and Bikram just to name a few. I enjoyed the exploration and continued to pair it with running. By the time the pandemic hit, Bikram had pretty much won out as my yoga of choice; the heat, the sweating, the undeniably good feeling after practice, and the solid night's sleep after a Bikram practice kept me coming back, but it was Lynne and Kyle's dedication to offering Zoom classes during those months (was it an entire year that classes were only on-line? Crazy!) that solidified my commitment. At some point during the pandemic, I was a student-of-the-month, and I'm pretty sure that the picture Lynne used in that newsletter was of me doing a semi-solid standing head-to-knee pose.

Recently, Lynne asked if I would be willing to be in the “Where are they now?” segment of the newsletter. So, let's fast forward to today--Am I still a daily runner? No! Is my standing head-to-knee pose still semi-solid? No! Do either of those facts bother me? Surprisingly enough, no! Aging is a funny thing. What you used to fear or worry about when you were younger changes, and your Bikram practice has a lot to offer in terms of managing those worries and fears at any age.

It is osteoarthritis of the hip that has stopped me in my tracks. Runs got slower, then shorter. During yoga practice, it felt like a soft tissue injury of the groin was reducing my flexibility in some poses. An x-ray of the hip revealed the true culprit and I grappled to accept, as the doctor phrased it, I would “outlive my hip.” I haven't yet had a hip replacement and I'm not sure when I will, but I do know that surgery is in my future. Meanwhile, I take every opportunity to soak up all the good Bikram yoga has to offer. My practice has taken on the markings of an older and perhaps wiser approach. I actually listen to the teacher when they say, “Listen to your body and honor where it is today.”

To sum it all up, I'll offer you the nitty-gritty, bullet-point version of why I practice at Hot Yoga Baltimore:

*No matter how lousy I might feel, I get something out of every class

*There is no better feeling than sweating and detoxing in the hot room

*The teachers are fantastic!

*You, my fellow yogis, inform and energize my own practice (Thank you!)

*There is bound to be some humor during class (especially if Rosamaria is there)

See you in class!"
