Bikram is no joke. It’s hot, it’s sweaty, it’s tough—but it’s rewarding, feels great and requires an instructor who’s knowledgeable, encouraging and firm. Bikram Yoga Halifax’s Kristin Johnston won your yoga-loving heart yet again by pushing you to new levels of bend, balance and stretch. “I’m so grateful that this community sees me as a good guide to their practice. It means so much to me,” says Johnston, who says her studio has doubled classes and changed pricing for maximum yoga convenience. “We want the healing nature of this yoga to spread through Halifax like wildfire.”
