Come take a class with Cintra, where you will laugh and fall in love with her Cintraism's that help you to take your yoga off your mat.

Cintra Brown met Bikram Choudhury in 1987. Since then she opened the first Hot Yoga studio in Scottsdale, AZ, opened a studio in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and later spent ten years teaching in London, UK. She holds a rare certificate from Bishnu Ghosh College of Physical Education, is an International judge for IYSF, and is invited to present at several teacher trainings every year.
