We are a lively family of five.
Our USP? We are all personally trained Original Bikram Yoga Teachers College of India by Bikram Choudhury (founder of Bikram Yoga)! There are only three families in the world who can say that - one in Australia, one in Mexico and one in Switzerland: Our family
How did we get started?
Peter, my husband, started Bikram Yoga in 2009 due to a life crisis. Although he had already learnt about Hatha Yoga through two teacher training courses (1992, 2000) and had taught it for years, he was not familiar with Bikram Yoga. He was already fascinated after his first Bikram Yoga class. His realisation at the time: ‘Bikram Yoga is awesome, simply intense, well-rounded and coherent; the exercises are coordinated like Swiss clockwork.’ Afterwards, he felt ‘like a new person’.
When we met, he tried in vain to get me to do Bikram yoga for two years. My arguments were: ‘Yoga is not for me; I'm not flexible enough; I need power, like in my karate practice; yoga is a petting zoo for soft minds. I'm not the type for ‘feel me, feel me, feel you’ and the like’.
I still can't really describe my first hour of Bikram yoga. ‘Catching fire’ only begins to describe it. I felt as if I had been up all night and my cells vibrated and lit up like a Christmas tree. I can't really explain Bikram yoga - you have to experience it.
The following took its ‘fateful’ course, characterised by various life events and my 30-day Bikram Yoga Challenge: In spring 2018, I attended the original Bikram Yoga Teacher Training in Acapulco and opened my Bikram Yoga Studio Zug in Hünenberg in spring 2020.
Our children also realised how good Bikram yoga was for us. We are full of energy, tackle life in all its ups and downs and are in a good mood 99% of the time. It was only a matter of time before our children took up Bikram Yoga too. Bikram yoga gives us all orientation and focus, a good body feeling, mental hygiene processing, energy for everyday life and resilience in life's challenges. And we can say that for years we have felt healthier and more energised than ever before.
It's just like Bikram emphasises:
"The hard way is the right way"
Let us convince you of our professionalism and quality - pack your mat and come along! It will be worth it.
