Meet Your Teachers
Our teachers bring decades of combined practice and a shared belief in the power of consistency. Each one found Bikram yoga at a different point in their life — and each one kept coming back. That's the experience they bring to every class.
Studio Owner
Ilya
I completed my Teacher Training in 2023 with Yoga Sports World, hosted by Bikram Yoga Fitzroy.
I’ve been practising Bikram Yoga since 2015, and it has completely changed my life. It’s taught me discipline, patience, compassion and the power of acceptance, and ultimately gave me the opportunity to teach this practice.
Bikram Yoga has strengthened my health, improved my longevity, and brought balance to my body, mind and spirit.
