Yoga Instructor
Hope,
a native of St. Louis, moved from Michigan to Atlanta last summer.
Before moving to Michigan, she lived in Los Angeles for 15 years where she began taking yoga with Bikram. She studied with Bikram for 7 years before attending his teacher training in 2000. She began
working at his Los Angeles headquarters after that and was Director of Franchise
operations for Bikram Yoga for over 6 years.
Hope has worked professionally in the theater for over 30 years. Before she
discovered the theater and yoga, she was a competitive swimmer.
Hope's background in the theater and her many swimming coaches inform her teaching, as does
her connection to Bikram and the lineage of Bikram Yoga .
She credits her dad for her sense of humor and fun.
