Anthony IncarboneBikram Certified InstructorAnthony lives in Port Orange and is a retired New York City firefighter. Raising 4 kids with his wife Liz, Anthony started Bikram Yoga about 4 years ago. He jokes and says raising 4 teens was enough to send his mind to the yoga furlough it needed! But in all seriousness the stress he felt after 9.1.1, the stiffness his body endured more and more everyday from the job and old sports injuries, he knew he needed to modify his routine to feel better. So his interest in Bikram Yoga was the healthy alternative he was convinced would help him-body, mind and soul. Within a month the transformation he had hoped for began to happen. He savored the benefits of Bikram Yoga so much that he attended the 9 week teacher training program in Hawaii in the Spring of 07, and believes in so many ways that he still helps save peoples' lives by teaching Bikram Yoga. |
