José Torres

José began Bikram yoga as a Christmas gift from his best friend in 2012. It was love at first sight. It was the most difficult thing he had ever done but all he remembers is sleeping like a baby that night. As a nurse it was obvious to him that he was unhealthy at the time-physically and mentally – and that his Bikram practice was addressing these issues. Within months he lost 30 lbs and had no sciatica pain or knee pain, free from medications that were treating his symptoms but never setting him free of Illness. He attended class everyday for 129 days and saw himself change completely in the front mirrors. In fall 2012 he attended the Bikram yoga teacher training at LAX. Since then he has traveled North, Central and South America, Canada and Europe to teach and train Bikram style and other forms of Yoga practice ex., Iyengar,, Yin, Vinyasa and Gokul. In 2016 he won first place in the New England Regional Championships and placed 7th in the 2016 USA National competitions. He is grateful to have found this practice that has changed his life physically, mentally, spiritually into the best version of himself.
