Get back to your roots

A Bikram Yoga retreat like no other...

BIKRAM YOGA + THE ELEMENTS

A Friends Doing Yoga With Friends Production


WHEN: March 12th-15th 2026

WHERE: @ ChoZen -  Sebastian, FL


This very special Friends Doing Yoga with Friends Retreat (1st one!) will be a deepening of community building and tapping into our own inner strengths through The Elements.


Earth, Fire, Water & Wind.


All of the Bikram Yoga classes, experiences and healing rituals will be rooted in these Elements, showing us the beautiful connection between ourselves, the Yoga and Mother Nature. 

People over Profits

This is not a money making exercise....

The birth of this retreat is for preservation.


Every profitable penny collected will provide much needed support to Bikram Yoga Fort Myers and it's continuing of the mission set forth by our Founder James "Jimmy Ji" Mahon of providing unfiltered, traditional Bikram Yoga to all. Your attendance of this unforgettable experience will help to solidify that legacy.

The weaving of two worlds

BIKRAM YOGA FORT MYERS

Bikram Yoga Fort Myers is one of the last traditional Bikram Yoga schools in the country. Founded in 2002 by James "Jimmy Ji" Mahon, one of  the most infamous and prolific teachers of Bikram Yoga. Against the rising tides of compromising teaching and watering down of this health system, Bikram Yoga Fort Myers remains a gatekeeper of the tried and true principles that separates this set from the rest. The school is currently Directed by Dana, long time student and protégé of the late Jimmy Ji. While she brings her own style of teaching to the practice, she is also deeply rooted in her teacher's teachings and continuing where he left off. Bikram Yoga Fort Myers is a school of true transformation, proven by its lasting student base and continuing history.
