Rebekah & Chris Bunting
Owners
Certified Bikram's Yoga Instructors

Rebekah Bunting has been teaching Bikram’s yoga since she graduated from the teacher training in the Spring of 2000. Her yoga practice began in college as a greatly-needed balance between her studies in Biology and cross-country ski racing. It wasn’t until she took her first Bikram’s yoga class after college that she seriously considered dedicating her time to deepening her yoga practice. The incredible benefits, joys and challenges of the practice eventually compelled her to leave a full-time job and go to the teacher training.

Before coming to Bozeman, Rebekah taught extensively for studios in Basalt and Aspen, Colorado. Over the years, she has also enjoyed traveling and teaching in other areas around the country, including Bikram’s studio in Los Angeles, CA. She aspires to bring inspiration, wisdom and joy into her classes.

Chris Bunting has been practicing yoga since 1993. He was drawn to hatha yoga as a means to prevent sports related injuries. By 1995 Chris had taken his first class with Bikram Choudhury and he has been hooked ever since. He completed Bikram's teacher training in 1998 and has been teaching since. Chris has taught throughout Colorado and at Bikram's studio in Los Angeles. Chris attempts to meld discipline, humor and compassion into each class.

Wendy Westmorland
Certified Bikram's Yoga Instructor

2002 was a difficult year – mentally and emotionally – the kind of year that you push out the door on Dec. 31 and hope, pray, wish for new beginnings on Jan. 1. Be careful what you wish for! The following January, two different friends on two different occasions told two different and equally fascinating accounts of their first Bikram yoga class. I had no choice, I had to find out, I had nothing to lose, I had nothing to begin with. So it goes...a good beginning.

2005 was another difficult year – physically – this time, I chose to embrace what I learned. In the middle of a millisecond, in the midst of a stroke, I remembered one thing, the only thing my friend – to breathe. That moment saved my life. That moment defined my path, my karma yoga. I decided I must pass it on – don’t forget to breathe. And so it continues...a good middle.

I trust that I will go deeper, but only through the form – not over, not around but through. The yoga informs my life and vice versa - preparation for a good end. I am fortunate to be on this path and blessed to be surrounded by so many others.

Now, go do your yoga.

I started practicing Bikram Yoga 2 1/2 years ago at a studio in Orlando Florida. I signed up for teacher training when I decided to move back to my home state of Montana. Completed teacher training on November 17, 2007 in Honolulu, Hawaii! The best thing I ever did. Life is good...Bikram's the Man!

Kristyn

Kristyn Birrell
Certified Bikram's Yoga Instructor

Kristyn, a Bozeman native, started Bikram Yoga in late 2007 in an effort to help prevent and heal running related injuries. One month into her practice she decided to do the 60-day Challenge – while training for the Boston Marathon. She not only got hooked on the yoga, but also set a new PR. She believes athletes in any sport can benefit from a consistent Bikram Yoga practice.

Kristyn attended the Fall 2009 Teacher Training in Las Vegas. She is very excited to join an amazing team of teachers at Bikram Yoga Bozeman. While she is just starting her teaching career, Kristyn attempts to bring intensity, encouragement, and compassion to all her classes.

 

Noelle

Noelle Kehoe
Certified Bikram's Yoga Instructor

Born and raised in Montana.  I took my first Bikram's Yoga class in January 2008.  I was seeking relief from chronic back and neck pain due to years of hard work in the kitchen at my local business.   An employee convinced me to try Bikram's Yoga and after taking just a few classes, I knew it was exactly what my body needed. I loved the studio's sense of community, the amazing teachers, and all of the new friendships I made. Practicing Bikram's Yoga led me back to MYSELF again. The healing in my body, mind and spirit inspired me to go to teacher training in the Fall of 2009. I am so proud to be a Bikram Yoga teacher!  What an amazing journey this is!
