The festivities begin on Friday at 7:00 pm. This holiday party is free to attend and guests are invited to get a peek at the studio as well as enjoy savory bites from Baboush and refreshing sips by Holy Kombucha.

Feel free to bring your favorite homemade dessert and have the chance to win a sweet prize in the dessert contest judged by the Bikram Yoga staff!

Saturday, December 8^th 10AM-12PM

In honor of this special occasion, Dallas’ hometown hero and 2011 International Yoga Champion, Joseph Encinia, will come to the West Village to teach a beginning yoga class followed by a demonstration on Saturday, December 8^th from 10:00 am- 12:00 pm. Joseph’s story is a remarkable one; he grew up very different than he is today. From an early age he struggled with rheumatoid arthritis, a heart attack, his weight, and the accompanying toll it took on his mental state. After a friend invited him to a Bikram Yoga class in 2005, his life took a complete 185-degree angle turn – a new body, new mind, and new life. Within the first year of practice he shed pounds, threw away medications, and became a fixture in the Dallas studio. He first competed in Texas in 2005, and after years of dedication he won the 2009 National Yoga Asana Championship and placed 2nd internationally. With continued focus, Joseph has become the three time National & 2011 International Yoga Asana Champion. Because of the gift of life yoga has given him, his life's ambition is to share Bikram Yoga with others. You'll discover quickly that Bikram Yoga is more than a workout--it's a way of life

Joseph Encinia

Sunday, December 9^th 10AM-4PM

The weekend celebration concludes on Sunday from 10:00 am- 4:00 pm with a yoga workshop from the 2012 International Yoga Champion, Juan Manuel Martin-Busulti, as he shares his knowledge with Bikram Yoga Dallas. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, this is a rare opportunity to learn more about Bikram Yoga from a senior teacher. Juan will give a personal demonstration of the eighty-four postures, followed by an introduction and what you will learn in the workshop. Juan will give two separate demonstrations, as well as teach a Posture Clinic with Q&A forum where students will be able to ask him about specific postures and have him correct their form.
