Lisa and Wayne graduated in the same Bikram Yoga class in 2002. Lisa is enthusiastic, stubborn and fantastically emotionally attached to people who practice Bikram Yoga. She used to work a dumb job during the day and it made her appreciate teaching a lot, so she quit! She now teaches full time and sprends the rest of her time with her puppies. Lisa is a graduate of the University of Florida (Latin American and Caribbean Studies) and is a native to Jamaica. Lisa is a fan of the balmy oven that Bikram Yoga offers.
Lisa's interpretation of Bikram Yoga goes like this:
- This is Bikram's torture chamber, not Bikram's lounge.
- Stay in the room!
- Kill yourself in the most delicious way but don't show the pain.
- Appreciate the yoga for its accountability and come to yoga even when you don't feel like you're going to have the strongest class.
- EXERT YOURSELF!!!
- Stick your tongue out at your teacher every once in a while. Just be prepared when you get it right back!
- Be still and admire your efforts.
- Take the time in your class to be of benefit to yourself and others.
- Don't be afraid to wear flattering clothes to class. It makes it interesting for all of us.
