Yes, we have practiced both Vinyasa and Bikram.

3. What made you decide to take your first yoga class?

There was a yoga studio near our house in Philadelphia, and out of curiosity we decided to give it a try. It was a Vinyasa studio and we both enjoyed it very much and practiced there for a while until we found Bikram and got hooked on it.

Over the years we tried a handful of hot yoga studios in Sarasota and none were up to our standards. Thavma studio is always well kept and clean, and the instructors are excellent.

with us?

We aim to be better at our practice. Also, the Red Method classes have been a great new experience and a welcomed mix to a regular hot yoga routine.
