Gena Abernathy

My name is Gena Abernathy, I am a mother of two beautiful daughters. I was introduced to Bikram's Yoga in 2005 by a friend. I started practicing the yoga twice a week along with going to the gym. After a while, I found that going to the gym was not enough discipline for me and I felt that my body, mind and spirit became more and more connected to the yoga. After practicing the yoga for a few months I quit. It wasn't until I was hospitalized for two months with appendicitis that I started practicing the yoga again on a consistent basis. I began with three classes a week and worked my way up to five. I grew to love how the yoga healed my body and kept me healthy. The yoga truly works from the inside out. This is when I decided to become an instructor. I attended the first Bikram's training in Hawaii, spring 2007. I have been enjoying teaching ever since.
