The Dubinskys opened one of the first 5 Bikram yoga schools in the world in the early 1980s.

"Yoga" means unity: integration of the mind, body, and spirit. It has been practiced for over 6000 years. This class gives excellent physical and mental conditioning at any stage of life. It develops concentration, correct alignment, correct breathing, strength, endurance, and flexibility. It improves balance, focus, and energy. This class relieves stress, alleviates injuries, and has an overall therapeutic value.
