Roxana

Roxana discovered Bikram’s yoga several years ago through Brad Colwell himself. She had always been athletic and had dabbled in several types of yoga, but Brad’s passionate description of this style of yoga compelled her to attend her first Bikram hot yoga class, and she was hooked from that first class taught to her by Brad. The deep connection she felt to this style of yoga and her dedication to the practice eventually led her to obtain her Bikram’s Yoga teacher certification with The Boss himself, Bikram Choudhury, in the fall of 2006.

Roxana is a medical doctor whose background in medicine – with training in radiology – provides her with a strong knowledge of anatomy and deep understanding of general physiology as well as pathology. Combined with her own general interests and pursuit of knowledge in the fields of nutrition and exercise physiology, along with the training received for Bikram’s Yoga teacher certification, Roxana’s background has helped her have a deep understanding of the Hatha Yoga postures chosen by Bikram for the series, and also, of why they work individually as well as synergistically in the chosen combination to provide such unique benefits. Her own love of yoga, with passion for the discipline and practice, help her have a connection, empathy and commitment to her students, whom she recognizes as her fellow yoga practitioners. She will continue this yoga practice for life, for Roxana is acutely aware of not only the physical, but also the mental, psychological, and even spiritual gains that it provides. She recommends you do the same. Come and join her in a class, keep up your regular practice, and see the transformation for yourself.
