Doing new things is hard.. But you gotta get out of that comfort zone!

Even when you become someone who is pretty consistently willing to put themselves out there and experiment, it doesn't necessarily get easier. In fact, sometimes, it can be even more difficult to try something new when you've already pushed yourself to make other significant changes. For example, a lot of new runners nowadays are using apps like Couchto5k to gradually get into the exercise. The app lets you start out walking more than you are running--but by the time you get to the end of the training, you're hopefully running the entire time. For a lot of people, jogging for several minutes without stopping is a huge feat in itself, it can take a while to get there. When you're a new runner, you pretty...

Is there such a thing as a Yoga Rut? Cat Bradley spills the beans.

  Below is an excerpt from a student, Cat Bradley, who lives and breathes yoga but didn't realize what a yoga rut she was in until she stopped by our studio. "Just wanted to say that my hubs and I are so happy at your studio--it's really been incredible. The energy at Yogacare is amazing. The teachers are so passionate about the yoga. I take most frequently with Nicole, Robin, and Chris. I also took a class recently with Suda-May and I was blown away. I literally have sat after class with Robin for like a half hour talking about a posture. After almost ten years of doing this yoga--I didn't realize I was in a rut until I came to your studio. I was really just...

Spring into summer with Full Circle Yoga

The warm weather has finally arrived! (Today's temperatures notwithstanding.) Hot on the heels of our last program that wrapped up in March, we're getting ready to launch the next generation of Full Circle, our lifestyle program that teaches you how to become the best version of yourself -- permanently.   Things can get pretty crazy in New York during the summer, and we all could use a little help keeping our cool.

Full Circle is nearly done! So much accomplished — so much to come

This is the third generation of Full Circle. 30 students are nearing the end of their journey into re-development of body, mind, and soul.     They've diligently come to class every day and followed their ever-evolving nutrition guidelines (customized for each individual, of course). Combined, they've dropped a whopping 291 lbs and donated several bins of now-too-big clothing to charity. They have also grown stronger through Pulse and boxing classes that have challenged their mental and physical stamina.     Now they're in the final stretch. Their bodies are primed, and their minds are open. These final two weeks of breathing, meditation, and fitness will put them over the top and prepare them for a year of mindful living in a city that can at times feel insane. In the words of...

Full Circle Gen 3 Students Speak Up

The first half of our latest iteration of Full Circle is in the books, and our students aren't keeping their opinions to themselves. This generation of 30 students has participants who are brand new to Bikram yoga, as well as a few who are familiar with the program. (One or two were original participants in our Pilot program last spring!) We caught up with a few of them before this generation of Full Circle started (Day Zero), and we'll be with them along the way to see their progress as the program continues.
