Connie Johnson

Connie Ott-Johnson, was born an Oklahoma farm girl, raised in Connecticut, after her father remarried.  She has a Bachlor of Science degree in special education.  With her concentration in science and psychology, she figured out we’re all pretty special.  Connie found Bikram’s Beginning Yoga Book in the library in 1976.  No studios, no teachers, just her and her book and enough pain from a whiplash injury, to just start.  Bikram says,  “If you do my class everyday for two months, you will have a new life!”  Thanks Bikram!   Over the years she has encountered many types of yoga, but she always goes back to the Bikram method.  Connie became an instructor in Dec. 2001, and Bikram signed her classic book from 1976.  You just never know where a book might take you!  She thinks it is the best beginning yoga because it will tell you every move to make, and in full detail.  The repetition is what stills the mind and leads to the meditation of just being in the moment.  Show up, move, and breathe, and let the healing begin.  Be brave, you will get used to the heat, and you will feel alive.  Bikram says, “we sell health”  is there anything better than that?   This class is like physical therapy, without the stitches.  See you in class, namaste.
