Bikram Yoga Mount Vernon

Mount Vernon Bikram Yoga Instructors

Chara Stuart: Instructor/Owner

Teaching is an honor and absolute joy for me because I get to witness students transform. That transformation could be the ability to stand on one leg and get your underwear on more easily - or - finding yourself more whole; more healthy; more peaceful; more energetic; more happy; more proud in your posture or your whole world!

With steady practice, the benefits of yoga can be many. The Bikram practice is brilliant and there are benefits available to everybody. As an over 50 student and teacher I can attest to that.

Robyn Pipkin: Instructor

Robyn has been practicing Bikram yoga since 2002 and has been teaching since November 2007. In the beginning, Robyn noticed immediate anxiety relief from this yoga, became hooked, and has experienced tremendous physical, mental, and spiritual benefits over the years. Robyn feels that the most beneficial aspect about the yoga is that her practice continues to evolve,change and grow in a positive way.

Robyn enjoys witnessing the growth of students who have healed their bodies through their practices. Robyn practiced gymnastics for 12 years, and has always been interested in the body and how it works. Robyn graduated from Western Washington University in 2002 with a BA in Human Services.

Heather Thompson: Instructor

Heather has been practicing Bikram Yoga since 2004. She started after sustaining knee injuries received in a car accident and yoga has helped tremendously to heal her body. Heather went through the Fall 2007 Teacher Training and states, "I enjoy sharing the healing aspect of this yoga through my teaching."

Heather is committed to the belief that yoga can heal the body as well as improve quality of life. In her spare time Heather enjoys creating her own unique hand made jewelry and organic gardening at home.

Eric Mithen: Instructor

I joke about my first Bikram Yoga class a lot. At one point, around Balancing Stick I think, my heart was beating so fast that I hoped the instructor knew CPR. There's a part I don't mention much. My fear must have been evident because the instructor, a man named Curt, walked back to my mat and asked me if I was okay. It was a simple gesture, but he made me feel welcome in the midst of an extremely humbling experience. That's why I became a teacher.

I want students to feel as welcome as I felt when I showed up in search of a change.

Mikkel: Instructor

Mikkel took her first Bikram yoga class in 2000 and was immediately aware of the profound physical and emotional impact a consistent practice could have on her life. She has appreciated the benefits of the yoga in relation to other physical pursuits, as well as the injury prevention and joint maintenance it provides. However, it's the stress reduction and feeling of fresh perspective experienced after each class that ultimately motivates her to keep on practicing.

Mikkel studied with Bikram Choudhury in the spring of 2009 to earn instructor certification. She holds a B.S. in Biology and is especially passionate about expressing the medical and physiological benefits of yoga through her instruction.

Mikkel: Instructor

My goal in my teaching Bikram Yoga is to deliver a dialog with soul and with heart. I know what it's like to grow from Bikram yoga, to relieve pain and gain strength and flexibility.

Tom graduated from Bikram teacher training in the spring of 2011.
