“Bikram yoga provides me with an intense workout that not only builds my strength and flexibility but also cardio and endurance. I enjoy the heat as it allows for greater range of movement in my joints and it also enables the muscles to move more freely.”
–David Collins, Galway Senior Hurler
“BikramYoga has increased the overall strength of the muscles in my entire body. As a footballer Bikram Yoga has improved my performance on the field, it has increased my flexibility and speed and has reduced my recovery time after a tough match. My willpower, concentration and determination are tested to the limit in this challenging environment”
–Trevor Mortimor, Mayo Senior Footballer
“I find that regular Bikram yoga practice makes my spine more flexible and muscles more supple, something all athletes need. Frequent hotyoga training has definitely increased my flexibility and range of motion, while relieving muscle tension and chronic aches that can often accompany regular training. It lengthens the entire body and release joints, therefore adding to the overall improvement of my game”
–Seamus Crowe, Salthill / Knocknacarra Football Team
“Greater range of motion, increased flexibility, increased strength, endurance, balance and a calm and focused mind are to name just a few of the many benefits of Bikram Yoga. Improved performance in competition can also come from the focus required for the 90 min challenging class”.

Michael Sheehan – Irish NABBA Bodybuilding Champion
“Having had a spinal fusion a number of years ago, I continuously experienced lack of flexibility. After a few months of taking class regularly my lower back pain disappeared entirely. My body is more toned, my muscles longer, leaner and stronger. I just know that the heat and humidity allow me to move and bend much more freely, without pain, and in doing so I feel I am much more in tune with my body by practicing Bikram Yoga”
–Danielle Maloney – recovering from Spinal Fusion
“I have gained great body awareness and toning….. I feel great! My skin is a lot clearer and healthier. After only a few weeks I noticed a change in my body shape and I have a calmer mind. I started for purely physical benefits, but now I have that, PLUS a greater sense of peace and well being that I never knew I was missing! You see and fell the results in a very short period of time!”
–Linda Breathnach – Actress & former Miss Galway
“Having suffered with a recurring Achilles tendon and tight hamstrings from years of running, I decided to give Bikram Yoga a go and within days my Achilles had stretched out completely. The classes are very strenuous, better than any other form of workout I have tried. The heat enables my muscles to stretch more deeply, releasing all the knotty fibres. During each class, my body gets a really serious detox and my skin seems brighter, more moisturised. I feel more toned, relaxed and I definitely have more energy. I enjoy injury free running thanks to Tracy and Bikram Yoga Galway”
–Felicity Gaffney – Runner
“Absolutely the best way to reshape post-pregnancy. My skin has lost its greyness and is a lot healthier. I have lost my “baby belly” and I feel great! I feel like I have a new lease on life!”
