Meet our neighbor and read why she is so special.
 Judy Louie knew nothing about yoga when she went to her first Bikram yoga class in Key West, Florida, in 1995. What was revealed from these first few classes was how out of touch she felt physically and spiritually and how wonderful the practice of Bikram yoga made her feel. She felt so inspired by this new-found passion that she wanted to learn more and share it with everyone. In 1995 she went to study with Bikram Choudhury and completed the teacher training course - a rigorous 3 month (at that time) teacher training learning the benefits of yoga, anatomy, yoga philosophy, asana and so much more.
"Bikram Yoga is an amazing practice where anyone at any age or physical ability can do and receive tremendous benefits. Getting the blood pumping and oxygenated, stretching tight muscles in the warm heat, and cleansing and detoxing the organs by twisting, squeezing and then releasing. You can't go wrong. What transpires is a more present, happier and healthier you! I am so full of gratitude to have found Bikram yoga."
Judy opened Bikram Yoga Kaua'i in 2000 and leads weeklong yoga retreats to Hawaii. She brings her practice and knowledge into a compassionate and humorous class. Appropriate for beginners and advanced students alike. Her experience includes Power yoga, Astanga yoga, Yin yoga, and Iyengar yoga. Judy is also a licensed massage therapist in the state of Hawaii and enjoys the practice of traditional Hawaiian Lomi massage, Swedish and reflexology.
All levels are encouraged to attend!
