Pana discovered Bikram Yoga in Michigan and will often share her first experience with new students to provide encouragement and let them know that they WILL make it. Not accepting defeat, she returned to her second class and completed a 60 day challenge from there. Realizing the amazing effects on her body, mind, emotions, and spirit, Pana was hooked. She maintains a regular practice and very much enjoys sharing this gift we call yoga. Within her first year of practicing she knew that she would attend teacher training. To her there is nothing more amazing than sharing something she loves with others while helping them find a better self. In her class, she will encourage you to find your edge, maintain your breath, and remember to smile! Panagiota graduated with honors from the University of Michigan with a B.A. in Behavioral Sciences. She studied at Yoga Therapy of Michigan prior to graduating from Bikram's Yoga Teacher Training in the Fall of 2012. She is a 700 hr. Registered Yoga Teacher.
