Dawn Hoppe began practicing Bikram Yoga in 2006. Initially, it was the challenge, the heat, and the physicality of the practice that drew her in. She was amazed by the exhiliration she felt during class and also by the calming, yet energizing influence that went beyond the yoga room and into daily life. After practicing for a little over a year, she attended the Fall 2007 Teacher Training. Dawn sees yoga as a path to empower, heal, and love oneself and looks forward to sharing this with her students.
