 "My first class was hell on earth...I left the room four times and didn't come back for a month. I tried everything else (chiropractor visits, hypnotism, acupuncture, massage therapy, etc.) and nothing helped. It was always in the back of my mind that this 60 year old lady in class next to me had looked so healthy and happy. I realized I was in bad shape. And even though the teacher was telling me to do crazy things, this was also the only place that told me, 'Do as I say and your back will be healed'."
Jon grew up in rural Illinois with a dream of becoming a professional basketball player. He played at the collegiate level for the University of Nevada - Las Vegas. Jon injured his back in his junior year of college. He took his first Bikram class in 2004. Through regular practice, he has cured his back pain. Jon became certified as a Bikram Yoga instructor in the spring of 2008.
Expect to smile and laugh in Jon's class! Jon is very serious about the yoga, but he will remind you to not take yourself too seriously. Jon's passion and firsthand experience for Bikram Yoga's ability to heal the body will compel you to try the right way and to NEVER give up. Jon has a wonderful way of making beginners and those with injuries alike feel accepted, encouraged, and safe.
