    Isabel is the best Bikram instructor that I’ve had. She is extremely good at explaining the benefits of the postures and demonstrating them. In addition, she does have a very caring spirit and conveys meaningful wisdom to her students. She is a genuinely nice person outside of the studio, as well.
