Retreat Organizers
Teri Almquist is the owner and director of Wellness Hot Yoga and Teach From Love, an organization dedicated to the continuing education of Bikram method yoga teachers. She is the author of The Toolbox, a guidebook for teaching Bikram Yoga. She has over 15 years of teaching experience in the Bikram method, using this powerful practice as a means to help a wide variety of students improve their lives.
This retreat is a collaboration with our dear friend Holly Ord and her fabulous studio, Hot For Yoga, in Perth, Australia. We look forward to having a great mix of people from the United States, Australia, and all over the world. Our hope is that this will be the first of many collaborative retreats with Holly's studio.
If you are traveling from the US all the way to Thailand, we highly recommend that you add an extra week to your trip so you can see some of the other great parts of Thailand and/or other destinations in Asia. If we can help you plan, please let us know!
Wellness Hot Yoga is my most favourite Yoga studio in the World: Teri has created a place where everyone is welcome and where everyone can practice Yoga to improve their life outside of the hot room. She and her team of highly-skilled teachers teach with compassion and love to make class accessible for anyone. Sitting outside the room afterwards, you'll meet fabulous fellow yogis of any age, size and background who will inspire you to come back the very next day.
