The Hot 90 class follows a classic series of 26 postures and two breathing exercises made popular by the disciple of Bishnu Ghosh, Bikram Choudhury.  Also known as Bikram’s Beginners class,  this series follows a set of breathing exercises, warm ups, and postures that are focused on spinal health and mobility.  The same 26 postures are performed in two sets, so that you get a chance to master the alignment of each pose.  This practice is our hottest style offered - the room is heated to a relative climate of 105 F and 40% humidity.  It is recommended that your first hot yoga class be the 90 minute series because it is slower paced with more resting time between postures.



Premila Singh

Premila Singh originally from Fiji Islands, now residing in Beaverton Oregon, started her yoga journey on Thursday July 29th 2021. She practiced her first Hatha Yoga class at Bonfire Hot Yoga Studio in Beaverton Oregon.

 

She was happily motivated to keep practicing and becoming a better yogi, so she kept stepping back on her mat as often as possible. The more she practiced the more she felt positive changes in her strength and flexibility.

 

Sunday June 26th 2022 Premila Singh completed her 200-HOUR 26 AND 2 TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM, at BONFIRE HOT YOGA STUDIO, in Beaverton Oregon. 


She is very grateful for the guided assistance and training received by Emily Cawley Feldman and Seth Brown. Their wisdom, knowledge, flexibility, patience and love for yoga has motivated me to share yoga practice with the community.

 

As a Financial Professional her passion is to assist clients with their needs and teaching yoga will add value to my passion.


"Please come join me on the mat! Namaste."


Carol Dickey

“Come back to the place.” An instruction to return to the center of the yoga mat, this phrase has also been a guiding influence in Carol’s life practice. Having first come to what is now known as Bonfire Hot Yoga and the 26 & 2 during a brief stop in Oregon in 1999, she has come back to share her passion as an instructor. She completed a 200-hour Hot Yoga Teacher Training in the spring of 2022 with mentors Emily Cawley Feldman and Seth Brown. 

Carol was born and raised in Portland but has spent nearly all of her adult life exploring educational and professional opportunities in other parts of the country. In 2015, she came back to Portland and to the house in which she grew up! She lives with her partner with whom she shares five children and two cats. She enjoys hiking near and far, reading, writing, and gardening. A lifelong learner with advanced degrees in business administration and organizational psychology, Carol’s yoga teaching is informed by training in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, interpersonal neurobiology, neuroplasticity and contemplative practice, and mind-body therapy. She is currently enrolled in an online 200-hour multi style teacher training. For Carol, the practice of yoga is a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual reminder to return to her center when the movement of life steers her off course.

Lisa DiTommaso

I learned about ‘hot yoga’ in 2005 through an acquaintance.  I decided to give it a try, and I was immediately ‘addicted!’  It was not easy, but it felt so good to be working my entire body, mind and soul all at the same time. I attend classes as often as I could, not only for my physical health, but my mental health as well. I have such a passion for the practice that becoming a teacher has always been a goal for me. 

In 2021, I completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Bonfire Hot Yoga with Emily and Seth and now I’m here to spread the ‘yoga love’ that I have for this practice. I hope to see you on the mat soon!

Polly Moos

Yoga has had a transformational influence on my life. After years of practice, I decided to teach, and received my teaching certificate from Bonfire Hot Yoga in June 2021. I’ve been enjoying teaching ever since.

I discovered yoga through a friend, and found the practice calming and tranquil amongst all of life’s stresses. On top of peace of mind, practicing yoga helped with my sciatic back pain. Painkillers and traditional physical therapy were helpful on my journey, but it was only through practicing yoga that I was able to live without pain. I faithfully practiced for 10 years. 

Eventually, I fell out of practice when I was balancing two jobs and raising 4 children as a single parent. Without my yoga practice, I felt lost. Each day felt like a potential breakdown was around the corner. I’m so grateful that I managed to make space for yoga once again, and I quickly rediscovered how meaningful yoga is for me. My passion hasn’t died down since. 

With my yoga practice, I feel grounded, energized, and calm. Yoga has trained me to stay focused, and pay attention to detail. With every pose, my focus is on my arms, legs, spine, and neck stacking in correct alignment. The mindfulness prevents my thoughts from wandering off. Having space to meditate, and concentrate on my mind and body, makes me feel peace, love, and joy.

The most rewarding part of being a teacher is that I have to be a good student first. I’ve learned how to cultivate my heart to have patience, love, and compassion. I stay mindful of what I say, my body language, and strive to be a good role model and symbol in front of the classroom. Even when I’m not teaching or in front of my students, I still remind myself to be conscientious of my practice, and how I carry myself.

Becoming an instructor has expanded my knowledge of yoga’s history, symbology, and the roots of the practice, further than when I was just a student. Knowing how much yoga has benefited me, how healing it’s been for me physically and emotionally, makes me feel more connected to my higher- self. The more I practice yoga the more longing I have to explore my spirituality.

Apart from yoga, I love hiking in the woods, traveling, and spending time with my grandkids.

Ben Thompson

At the age of 28, Ben started his path to yoga humbly — at a community center in East Mesa, AZ, where the average age was 70.  But the slow pace and accessible postures of the 60 minute community center vinyasa class were just what it took for him to get started and begin to find his practice.  His best friend introduced Ben to the 26 & 2 series a couple years later, and he was hooked.  Though he’s tried many variations and styles of yoga in the ensuing 20 years, the 26 & 2 series has remained home.  Wanting to deepen his practice and hopefully help others find their way to their own practice, Ben completed the 26 & 2 teacher training at Bonfire Yoga in 2022.  His intent is to provide a welcoming, challenging, consistent practice to all who show up.  His motto in the room is that the only mandatory actions are to arrive, and to continue breathing, everything else is optional.    

Angee Franzen

Angee Franzen began teaching power vinyasa in 2012, completing her first 200hr Yoga Teacher Training with Core Power in NW Portland. Angee continued to study the philosophy, science of movement and the social implications of living an Intentional life at The Bhakti Movement center. In 2015 Angee discovered Radiant Body Yoga with Kia Miller. Radiant Body Yoga holds the principles of Ashtanga Yoga with the wisdom of Kundalini Yoga. After studying in India in 2016 and 2017 with Kia Miller Angee received her 300hr teaching certification. In 2017 Angee completed a Trauma Informed training with Living Yoga. She volunteers at MacLaren youth correctional facility monthly. In 2019 Angee completed her Kundalini Level 1 teacher training in Bali. Angee loves to teach Yin Yoga, Meditation as well as Restorative Somatic Yoga. Angee has been living sober for 20 years and raising 3 sons with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Hi my name is Isabel or Isa,

First and foremost I am a human, sister, and woman trying to live my best highest life. I have spent innumerable nights in darkness in shamanic sacred ceremonies, seeking spirit and life meaning. I am constantly working on how to best help myself and inspire others, aligning my thoughts with my actions. My nature is to share, I love to serve, lead, build community, and bring people together.

I share my medicine, gifts, and life lessons through teaching yoga, group sound journeys, workshops, meditation, private healing sessions, somatic therapy, cranial sacral, and Thai yoga massage.

I am a big believer in the power of community. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to be part of the Bonfire Studio, a space where I reach and touch many hearts with hatha and kundalini yoga and I teach it with confidence and testament to its power and ability to help one along the path of life. 

Life is short. The meaning ever evolving. The focus ever shifting. The one thing we can lean into is the consistency of change. I am an evolving human and so are you. It is a privilege and honor to take the journey together. Thank you!

I started practicing yoga in 2008 and began teaching yoga in 2017.

I trained with Dina Lang for my RYS 200hr, and Michele Loew for my RYS 500hr. Both certifications are through Yoga Alliance, and both teachers are masters in their field. I still to this day draw from their words of wisdom when sequencing my classes, teaching workshops, or guiding new students on their yoga journey.

I enjoy teaching dynamic classes which gently push students out of their comfort zones. I use breath & movement to let go of old stories, judgements, fears that may be holding us back. Just breathe and move and be mindful of what comes up. I believe if you keep practicing consistently it can change your life.

Come do yoga with me. We’ll sweat, work hard and maybe have a laugh or two. :)

Shaina Bronstein

Shaina first walked into the hot room in 2002 and quickly fell in love with the 26&2 series. Her motivations to practice yoga have evolved over time to include not only exercise, detox and physical healing, but also emotional and spiritual awareness. Shaina is grateful to have received her 200-hour 26&2 Teacher Training at Bonfire Hot Yoga in 2022. She hopes to help students find joy, strength and a deeper understanding within their personal practice through the Hatha framework of physical challenge and rest/recovery.  Shaina views every class as an invitation to practice meditation, breath, humility and gratitude. 


When not in the hot room, Shaina works in agriculture and specializes in vegetable seeds for organic farms. She has a great love of the natural world and enjoys exploring Oregon’s forests and waterways with her husband and son.

It’s my personal belief that everyone's yoga journey begins with their first breath, arriving at body, or perhaps even before then. When one becomes aware they are on this path it’s simply a matter of time & perseverance.

Around 2003 I stepped into what I knew as my first yoga class. I was recovering from a traumatic brain surgery that left me chronically disabled - I was 14 years old at the time. It was not hot yoga, but a style based in energy work similar to Kundalini or Qi Gong. It was my first experience in what I knew then as yoga, & had tremendous effects on my physical recovery & depression. Later, in 2008 I would begin my hot yoga practice with Bikram yoga, this time I was 19 & mostly recovered from my surgeries with the exception of chronic nerve damage. I always enjoyed being physical & competitive, & at that first class I knew this was going to change my life.

After about 7 years of practice I found myself going through yet another brain surgery in 2013 - this was to be my 3rd operation. Previously I worked in the trades as a metal fabricator & welder, however this last surgery would usher me into my new occupation as a yoga teacher. In 2014 I arrived at my first yoga training. I completed Bikram’s nine week teacher training, spending the next year after that traveling & teaching around the world & across the USA. My training did not stop there, & since then I have trained under Bernie Clark, Sarah Powers, Esak Garcia, & senior teachers of S.N Goenka (Vipassana) & Richard Miller (iRest). I've also done other 200hr YTT’s in person & online as continuing education. My training hours exceeded over 1000, &, since 2014 my teaching hours exceed 5,000.

This is all to say, teaching is my life's passion. It is not a job or a duty. But a privilege & an honor for which I am grateful.

Kat Cogswell Demary

Kat graduated from the 200-Hour Bonfire Hot Yoga Apprenticeship Program in June of 2022.  Seth Brown guided her through this training, focusing on the Ghosh Yoga 26 & 2 Classic Series.  Kat extends gratitude to Seth for his wisdom, flexibility, & patience so she could begin this journey of teaching.   

Practicing Hot Yoga & Vinyasa has been part of Kat's routine since 2011. While in teacher training, she enjoyed studying the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, delving into the ethical practices of Yoga (Yamas & Niyamas book by Deborah Adele) & continuing to find peace & harmony through daily yoga practice in the Hot Room.  She would like to thank Isabel Falcon for helping her find joy & sobriety through Sound Healings & Kundalini yoga practice over the last few years.

Through the magical guidance of Angee Franzen, Kat has learned more about the ancient wisdom and heart opening practice of Kundalini Yoga.  Beginning in January 2024 Kat will be training through Radiant Body Yoga with Kia Miller, including the Ignite Your Inner Flame workshop series, studying the Bhagavad Gita, Kundalini practices, & working toward the 200 Hour RBY Teacher Training in October-December 2024.

Kat, originally from The Columbia River Gorge area, has been on stage in the performing arts since the age of 5. She has traveled to the East Coast to receive a Bachelor's Degree in Music & performed in New York City for several years before moving back to the Northwest to start a family & raise two sons. 

Kat loves her life in Portland & is grateful for her musical duo with her husband.  Kat's two sons have given her experience in teaching life lessons. Kat is grateful for so much support from her entire family, three fur-babies, & extended family at the yoga studio.

I was first introduced to yoga in the mid 90's when the costume designer at Willamette University saw a need and generously taught an unofficial vinyasa class to stressed out students.  Years later I took up long distance running and needed something to help with muscle cramps.  As I ran past the yoga studio I remembered those beautiful classes and decided to try yoga again. 

My yoga journey now includes a 200 hour YTT in Vinyasa flow from Pure 8, a Ghosh apprenticeship with Seth Brown, multiple workshops and training sessions with Ghosh Yoga, and a Yin teacher course at Bonfire Hot Yoga.  Yoga has become an integral part of maintaining and increasing my health. I enjoy every continuing education opportunity.  

The more I practice yoga, the more it becomes an essential to my spiritual practice.  The study of yoga helps me dive deep into all aspects of my humanity, which only serves to increase my understanding of the divine. I hope to offer the opportunity for that discovery to others as well. 

In addition to yoga practitioner, I'm a wife, mom, and a pastor at Christ the Healer, UCC.
