Kay Dover
Co-Founder & Director
Certified Bikram Yoga Instructor
Teaches: Virtual Bikram Yoga, Quickies, Pregnancy Yoga
Certifications: Bikram Yoga Teacher Training (500+ hours) Fall 2013
Hi, I'm Kay! Before I found Bikram Yoga, I was coping (barely) with a debilitating eating disorder which was consuming my youth, draining my energy and destroying my relationships. I had also been a ballet dancer my whole life and struggled with physical pain in my joints from old injuries and overuse.
I was 20, and I felt way older than I was!
Through my yoga practice, I developed genuine gratitude and appreciation for my body. My obsessive behavior around food and exercise melted away, and as I began taking better care of myself, my chronic pain disappeared as well.
I became confident enough to fall in love (see below) and healthy enough to become pregnant, twice (so far!) I practiced Rajashree's Pregnancy Yoga 5-6 days a week in the hot room while expecting each of my two children, and I credit my smooth pregnancies, deliveries and post-partum healing to my regular yoga practice and the health it helps me enjoy.
Today I feel at peace and secure in myself. Because I'm no longer in pain or abusing my body, I'm able to give to the work I'm most passionate about (besides being a mom!) which is helping more people take charge of their health and save their own lives by practicing Bikram Yoga.

Orlo Flock
Co-Founder & Director
Teaches: Doesn't
Certifications: School o' hard knocks
Hi, I'm Orlo! When I returned from my Army tour of duty in Iraq, I was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome due to the heavy armor I wore every day. I couldn't brush my teeth or wash my hair without my arms going numb. I didn't want surgery, so I figured I would just be learning to live that way.
When Kay brought me to my first Bikram Yoga class, I went along because... I liked her! What I didn't expect was that within a few weeks of practicing I could lift my arms way up over my head without any numbness! I decided I'd better keep doing Bikram Yoga. (I even went to classes without Kay!)
Fast forward 8 years and two children later and I can do all the dad-things I've always wanted to do, like throw laughing toddlers in the air and catch them, or sitting my son on my shoulders. Speaking of those kids- I can't imagine being a parent without doing yoga! My practice helps me stay patient and calm- no matter what mischief they get into.

Jeannie Niedner
Certified Bikram Yoga Instructor
Teaches: Virtual Bikram Yoga
Certifications: Bikram Yoga Teacher Training (500+ Hours) Fall 2003
Hi, I'm Jeannie! I was hit by a car while biking in 1983. In 2002, I still had pain and mobility limitations in my cervical and thoracic spine from the accident. I also had a job which didn’t feel meaningful to me. I knew there was something more out there.
Within a few minutes of trying my first Bikram Yoga class, I felt I was “home.” I loved the precision, the discipline, the pace, the therapeutic postures and the heat!
I had the sense of being stronger, more alive and more focused right away. The pain I’d had for years didn’t go away immediately- but with consistent practice, it lessened and eventually subsided! I moved more easily, felt more confident in my body and slept better. Plus, I had found a community of loving and supportive friends!
Within a few months I began to daydream about aligning my life more fully with this new sense of healing and belonging. By September of 2003 I was in L.A. at Bikram’s teacher training. Without a doubt, it was the most worthwhile experience of my life.
Sharing in the myriad triumphs and joys of others: the glow after a new student’s first class, the small insight of a veteran student, a mother explaining how her practice improves her patience with her children – have given me the greatest sense of purpose in my life.
I am deeply grateful for the privilege of teaching Bikram Yoga and I intend to do it, with love, for a long, long time!
