Studio Director – Maggie Carr
After training as a classical dancer, Maggie worked for two decades in advertising and in publishing successfully climbing the corporate ladder - but always with a heavy heart. Whilst on a corporate function in 2000, Maggie was involved in an accident that, whilst not life threatening, turned out to be one of those defining moments when you consider all that you have and all that you are. Little did she know at the time that a complete “U-Turn” was about to take place.

Whilst recuperating from the accident and nurturing both the physical and mental wounds, Bikram Yoga found Maggie. She was immediately drawn to its invigorating and healing effects and used it as part of her “head, heart and hand” therapy. Maggie also knew, almost from the very first class, that Bikram Yoga was going to become an integral part of her life.

Maggie resigned from the corporate world and went to L.A. to study under Bikram Choudhury in early 2005. She then taught at a number of the Melbourne studios before opening the studio in Glen Waverley in 2006. In 2007 Maggie took over ownership and management of Bikram Yoga South Melbourne. Maggie is dedicated to Bikram and to passing on the amazing healing effects to others.
