Norma Strang / Director / Bikram Yoga Fitzroy

For many years my background was corporate, with positions in sales and marketing, and a desire to succeed and find happiness. Externally, I appeared successful, with all the material rewards, but inside I was yearning for something deeper. This realisation encouraged me to try many different healing therapies for my own wellbeing.

Over 17 years I've studied and been certified in Aromatherapy, Swedish massage, Lomi Lomi Massage, Reiki, Clinical Hypnotherapy, and Thought Field Therapy (TFT). These inspired me to want to help people, but first I had to help myself. I was unclear about how to leave a growing career and was fearful about not being able to survive financially.
 
I then discovered Bikram Yoga and my life purpose became clear. The discipline and focus that I earned from sweating and striving and opening my body in the classroom every day allowed me to see my life more clearly and gave me courage to leave the corporate world. Bikram Yoga changed my life. All the years of study are now being put into action as I teach my classes, inspire people to find their inner strength and be all they are capable of being. Bikram Yoga is now my greatest healer and teacher. I could not live without it. Life still throws me challenges, as it does to all of us. The difference for me now is that I can deal with them so much better. I am more focussed, more at peace, more balanced and more alive. I believe it is part of my life's purpose to share this with as many people as I can.
