the Sweaty Yogi is my personal website. Within you’ll will be taking a peak into my yoga practice and my yoga journey.

I have been practicing Bikram Yoga since 2008 and in 2018 I competed Raja Yoga Academy’s level 1 program certifying me as a Hatha yoga instructor. I continue to use the series to heal my body and to inspire others to do the same.

In these post please take note that when I am talking about my yoga practice, I am typically about the physical practice of yoga and more specifically the Bikram methodology (the 26&2, the Original Hot Yoga).

Posts found on this site are written from the viewpoint of a practicing student, and not as an instructing teacher. I feel that this is an important distinction to make because posts within are written from the perspective of my body and are a snapshot of the past; they are reflections, not instructions.

Like many other westerners, I was introduced to the yoga world by taking a class led by a teacher who instructed us how to move our bodies into different postures called asanas. Little did I know, this was just one of seven/eight limbs of yoga. Doing yoga in America is commonly practicing the physical exercises of yoga mainly consisting of postures, breathing exercises and relaxation; this is Hatha yoga. The particular series that I practice is Bikram yoga (the Original Hot Yoga, the 26 and 2, the you’re-going-to-sweat-kind-of-yoga). I am using this yoga to chase the pain out of my body, so while I’m not too sure if I’m a yogi-yogi, I can confidently say that I am a Sweaty Yogi.

Thank you for visiting and I hope to see you again <3
