MISSION |
|
Bishnu Gosh, Bikram Choudhury’s teacher, instructed Bikram to teach Yoga to the world. Bikram Yoga Northampton and Bikram Yoga Amherst are in service to that vision. We promise to create and maintain an empowering environment dedicated to the instruction of Bikram’s Beginning Yoga Series.
|
|
In maintaining the standards of practice set by Bikram we will provide instruction in Hatha Yoga as outlined in Bikram’s series of twenty six asanas and two breathing exercises. Time tested quality of instruction is maintained by strict adherence to Bikram dialogue.
|
|
We will provide a clean, pleasant and safe studio environment. Our students will experience empowering instructions and excellent customer service.
|
|
Additionally, Bikram Yoga Northampton and Bikram Yoga Amherst are platforms for certified Bikram Instructors to deepen their teaching practice. We at Bikram Yoga Northampton and Bikram Yoga Amherst are committed to the development of instructors needed to expand Bikram’s world vision. We are in service to and support of the world wide community of Bikram Yoga Instructors.
|
Values:
Consistent with the roots of Hatha Yoga, Bikram Yoga Northampton and Bikram Yoga Amherst are founded on values of Peace, Love, Tolerance and Forgiveness. With these values in mind, we encourage our instructors to model personal non-attachment. We stand committed, in contribution to the world community, as the source of these values. Our success will be evident in the continued growth of the Bikram Yoga students, teachers and studios.

Carol Chappell |
 |
Carol is from New York, NY and first came to the Pioneer Valley as a student at Amherst College, from which she has an undergraduate degree in Biology. She began practicing yoga in earnest after her first Bikram yoga class in 2001 in Boston, where she was a technology project manager for a financial services company. Three months after her first class, she completed a 30-classes-in-30-days challenge that changed her life - she knew that this yoga would be a part of her life forever. She took her passion for Bikram Yoga to the Winter 2004 teacher training, becoming a certified Bikram instructor in March of 2004. Soon after completing her training, she was delighted to return to the Valley, to share her love of yoga with the wonderful students and teachers of Bikram Yoga Northampton!
