Laura Frisk

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I am 46 and a business owner. I am the mother of a beautiful three year old daughter who lights my life up every day. My wonderful (and really hot) husband is licensed chiropractor and a professional bodybuilder.  I own a full service salon (Salon de Frisk) on Blanco and 410, where I have specialized in permanent cosmetics for over 16 years.

What brought you to Bikram Yoga?

My good friend, Angela convinced me to try Bikram Yoga out. We had just had our children around the same time, and I was amazed with the results she got. After trying the introductory special, I was hooked. I continue to enjoy the intensity and focusing properties of yoga.

How often do you practice?

5 days a week (more if I could!)

What was your exercise background before Bikram?

I had a personal trainer who used a combination of cross training with weights and cardio to give me a full body workout.

What specific physical issues did you have before taking your first class?

During the years of 2004 and 2005, I had two lower back surgeries.

What are the greatest benefits of your practice?

I no longer experience lower back pain on a regular basis. While I feel that my whole body is strengthened and toned, Bikram Yoga has given me more energy, and mental clarity to help my busy lifestyle.

How has this practice changed your health and life?

I have always maintained healthy lifestyle, but Bikram Yoga has taken it to a whole new level of fitness.

What is your favorite part of Bikram?

I love the challenge, mental focus, and determination it takes to do the postures.

Anything else you would like to add?

I want to personally thank the instructors for inspiring me to come on a daily basis. I help people look beautiful, and I appreciate the same dedication from the instructors towards me. I am very honored to be selected for Bikram Yoga Student of the Month for March, may God continue to bless your business and all the great teachers.
