Lucie Vysloužilová

Lucie was born in Pardubice, where she studied economic and Hradec Kralove Lyceum then received a bachelor‛s degree. Lucie moved to Prague to study at Charles University and in the same year she began taking Bikram Yoga.

The first lesson absolutely captivated Lucie - mainly because of intense release of endorphins - in the lessons that followed, other benefits appeared, a few days created a very positive Bikram Yoza dependent relationship. With regular practice Lucie observed quite radical changes and advances in body weight and shape. Plus, there were improvements of positions forms the postures themselves, which contributed to an even stronger attachment to this kind of exercise.

After Lucie started Bikram Yoga, she began thinking about she would like in the future not only to practice yoga, but also to teach yoga. This dream, however, she had to wait for two years to achieve, in the spring of 2011 when she graduated along with 430 other people training for instructors in Los Angeles. Nine weeks under the leadership of Bikram Choudhury and many other instructors was one of the greatest experiences of her life.

Favorite Posture

Standing bow pose. This posture requires great concentration and determination, which are aspects of yoga where you are really working. It is great watching the progress my body has made in this posture. Whenever I can lock my knee, I feel a sense of utter euphoria.

Least Favorite Posture

Full Locust. Unlike other postures where progress is more than evident, the Full Locust still trys my patience. I lack strength in the arms and flexibility in my lower spine, it is as if I am reluctant to let my feet go higher, which is sometimes frustrating.
