Kay Dover
Studio Co-Founder & Director
Certified Bikram Yoga Instructor
Step into Kay's class for joyful instruction with useful tips and motivational "fun facts" along the way. Before becoming a Bikram yoga instructor, she was a Montessori teacher, an English teacher, a wildland firefighter, and a student of dance and language.
Kay's background in education feeds her approach to teaching yoga, which is to provide accurate instruction of technique while holding a loving space for students to have their struggles and celebrate their success.
Kay has been practicing Bikram yoga since 2005 and teaching since 2013. She practiced Rajashree's Pregnancy Yoga 5-6 days a week in the hot room while expecting each of her two children, and credits her smooth pregnancies, deliveries and post-partum healing to her regular yoga practice and the health it helps her maintain.
Building a Bikram yoga school has always been a dream of Kay's, and she's super excited to share her favorite wellness activity with her favorite neighborhood: St. Johns.

Derek Cummings
Certified Bikram Yoga Instructor
Come to Derek's class for warm-hearted instruction that will inspire you to nudge your personal edges. Derek took his first Bikram yoga class in 1998 in San Francisco- he couldn’t even touch his knees, let alone his toes! He weighed nearly 300 pounds, drank and smoked heavily, had skyrocketing blood pressure, cholesterol, and major depression.
With regular practice, Derek got sober, dropped 100 pounds, and got his healthy life back - Bikram yoga was the key! He attended Bikram Teacher training in Fall 2002. Along with his wife he was Co-owner/Director of 3 successful Bikram Yoga studios for over 14 years in the Portland area.
Now, in addition to teaching this wonderful and healing series, Derek enjoys spending time with his family and working with special needs kids in the Portland Public School system. He can't wait to see you in class soon!
