One of our own, Susan Lippert, has begun the arduous process of enduring the nine week torture camp known as the Bikram Yoga Teacher Training in Hawaii. I just received the first word from her which was mostly about her initial impressions because at the time of her writing she was only two days into it and there had been some technical problems so their schedule had been pretty light. The reason for this post, however, is to share a brief testimonial she offered from her experience at the nearby local Bikram Yoga studio.

the instructor pointed me out for having the best sit up in class. he said “you, over there in the black outfit, do your sit up again for the class to see”. so i did it again and he said it was perfect. then he asked me where i was from and i said atlanta. he then said “you must have very good teachers in atlanta because they taught you very well”.

So… want to learn how to do a proper sit up? We’re ready when you are.

PS - I told Susan that from now on when asked where she’s from she needs to say, “Bikram Yoga Decatur,” but I kid. I’m happy to share the glory with the Atlanta studio because Jason and Cristina were my mentors, after all, and I owe much of my success to them.
