This is a classic hot yoga studio. All teachers emphasize the 26 sequence postures and there is an incredibly friendly atmosphere in this space. Christine Brasch in particular is an amazing teacher. Her classes are the main reason I come back.
Chris Olstrom started practicing Bikram Yoga in early 2007
after years of long distance running left him with horrible back
pain and “beaten up” knees. Like most first time students, he
walked into that first class not knowing what to expect. After the
challenge and exilaration of that very first class, Chris was
hooked! It didn't take long for him to start enjoying the healing
benefits of his Hot Yoga practice as his pain and stress levels
diminished. . His knees and back felt better and he had found a new
cardio workout to replace running. Inspired to share what he had
discovered with others, he made the decision to become a teacher.
In Fall of 2008 he completed the Bikram teacher training program in
Acapulco, Mexico and began teaching in studios all over Long
Island. As his own practice grew, so did his desire to explore
other styles of yoga. Intrigued with the flowing style of vinyasa,
Chris went on to complete a 200 hour vinyasa training in 2013 and
now teaches both styles with his distinct flair. His students often
say how amazing they feel after a “Chris O” class. Chris says, “I
love nothing more than guiding my students through a challenging
asana practice, to build healthy and strong minds and bodies -
helping them to lead stronger and healthier lives.”
