Bikram Yoga Decatur

Traffic Warning

Clairmont Road will be reduced two one lane in each direction to accommodate construction work on the railroad bridge on Wednesday and Thursday, May 16 and 17. That’s tomorrow and the day after. Sorry for the short notice but I just found out an hour ago. Clairmont Road is already pretty bogged down during rush hour so this is probably going to interfere with some of you getting to the studio on time for classes. Please try to give yourself a little extra driving time during these two days.

May Benefit: The Tara Project

On Saturday, May 26, BYD will be pleased pleased to donate 100% of the proceeds from the 4:00 pm class to The TARA Project.

The TARA Project is an international nonprofit organization based in Atlanta working with impoverished communities. They work with communities at the nexus of health, education and economic opportunity in order to alleviate poverty. Proceeds from this fund raising event will benefit the development of a community based pharmacy in Kenya.

The TARA Project has supported a pharmacology student for several years who will manage the pharmacy and there is a building in the community ready to house the pharmacy. Throughout 2012, The TARA Project is raising funds to supply the pharmacy with equipment and medicine. With the support of their gracious friends The TARA Project is bringing life saving medication to rural Africa.

Lockers Available

Check out or new basket lockers. The small amount of room they take up is more than made up for by the extra room they offer by stacking three drawers high. Everyone is welcome to use them as is (without a lock). We have padlocks available to rent for $1 but you may also bring your own. There are lockers in both dressing rooms.

Breath

If you’re in need of a fresh perspective on how vital your breath is to your Bikram yoga practice, consider this about our hot room: even the ceiling tiles breathe. (more…)

Clothing Sale & Swap

Please join us this weekend for our first ever clothing sale and swap on April 28 & 29, from 12:45 to 2:30.

BYD T-Shirts and Caps will be on sale, along with select Shakti and Onzie yoga wear.

In addition to the sale, we will also have a yoga clothing swap! Ever bought a yoga outfit and realized after wearing it once or twice, the color or fit just wasn’t for you? Bring in your clean, gently used yoga clothes to swap or sell right after the 11 am class on Saturday and Sunday. The sale on shirts and hats will run all weekend.

A Bikram Double

Last December, one of my friends celebrated her 69th birthday by doing a back-to-back Bikram double. Whenever an acquaintance begins a sentence with, “I’d love to do the kind of yoga you do, but…”, I whip out the story of my 69-year-old friend who not only practices Bikram regularly but pulled a double out of her sassy sleeve on her 69th birthday, just 9 months into her practice.

Spring Challenge!

It is time for a Spring Challenge! The basic challenge is to do 30 classes in 30 days but this time we are also offering a lighter challenge for anyone who currently practices less than 3 times per week: 5 classes per week for 4 weeks. Read more…

Shower Repairs are Complete!

The shower repairs are finished and dressing room usage is back to normal, effective immediately.

Thank you for your patience with this project.

Dressing Room Switcheroo

I am very sorry for the inconvenience to the men but we are going to be switching the men’s and women’s dressing rooms until the showers in the women’s room are repaired. There are more women than men and they have already been without showers for a few days so it is the men’s turn. Repairs will start this weekend and will take at least three days.  We are going to try to avoid canceling classes if possible during the repairs.
