Faced with personal turmoil such as homelessness and addiction, he was able to persevere over these obstacles through the exploration of his yoga practice. David’s first practice was on May 1st, 2013 at The Art Museum of Philadelphia. That experience led him to pursue teacher training. David was, and continues to be, highly inspired by John & Diana Vitarelli who believed in him and helped him to get to where he is today. Daniel Cordua, who is one of David’s teachers to this day, inspires him on a daily basis. When you come to David’s classes, expect to redefine your own personal limitations and break through illusory walls! Expect high energy, a positive atmosphere, a rigorous flow, funky transitions, arm balances, and inversions that will nourish your soul. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d486763291f2800018f7fdb/8100a23b-0b77-4c48-9e41-bd4eb5325ce4/970442_10100453358213410_539581943_n.jpg About Kaitlin McKendrick, Owner- Classic Hot Yoga & Yin Yoga In September 2009, Kaitlin placed her yoga mat down and hid in the last row of a packed class at a Bikram Yoga studio in NYC.

Unlike most forced air heating systems, far infrared panels are natural, silent and non-allergenic. Our heating mechanism at The Bridge ensures that we are able to safely breathe healthy, clean air in our hot yoga classes. Infrared heating is a natural form of heating for our bodies. With far infrared radiant heating, an electric current is passed through a panel made up of multiple layers of carbon graphite, copper, and nanosilver to emit a wave of infrared. When you practice yoga under these panels, it will feel like you are sitting under the sun but without the dangerous effects of solar radiation. Unlike with conventional heaters, far infrared heating panels do not heat up the air but rather transmit infrared radiation uniformly, which is absorbed by the body. The far infrared waves have the potential to penetrate 1.5 to 2 inches or more into the body allowing for deep heat that raises your core body temperature from the inside-out. The waves then help in opening the body’s sweat glands. When far infrared waves are applied to water molecules, which comprise 70% of our body, these molecules begin to vibrate and then breakdown, causing the body’s encapsulated gases and toxic materials to release through our skin and sweat glands. Sweating is one of the only methods by which the body can eliminate toxins. And sweating under far infrared heat is the safest, healthiest, greenest, and most therapeutic way to do hot yoga. Yoga in the heat helps increase circulation, which is helpful for those who suffer from circulatory issues and arthritis. Increased circulation can help with reducing pain and easing joint stiffness. It reduces inflammation—which is the leading cause of disease. An additional benefit of heat is improved flexibility which directly supports longevity. Feel this heat for yourself. It’s amazing! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d486763291f2800018f7fdb/1565913490777-QO5NV8FLLBM5TEQXRFBJ/pexels-photo-821649.jpeg The Studio https://www.thebridgehotyoga.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d486763291f2800018f7fdb/1582058799257-6J6GX2TANLAJ9T79RAYA/Screen+Shot+2019-09-08+at+12.12.38+PM.png Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d486763291f2800018f7fdb/1565913571204-7KJZZZ4NM9OVNAFDZ78H/pexels-photo-821649.jpeg Contact https://www.thebridgehotyoga.com/pricing daily 0.75 2025-09-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d486763291f2800018f7fdb/1565913547793-IWHFLCA99BHX26CAE7D7/pexels-photo-821649.jpeg Pricing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d486763291f2800018f7fdb/1647375188300-62I4LWHPLJZAKYL1Z0E1/tempImagetDMJAl.jpg Pricing https://www.thebridgehotyoga.com/schedule-1 daily 0.75 2024-06-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d486763291f2800018f7fdb/1565913529200-ALPQZBJBGTLBXEFH6KZ9/pexels-photo-821649.jpeg Schedule https://www.thebridgehotyoga.com/welcome daily 1.0 2024-06-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d486763291f2800018f7fdb/1568050582772-ZDAVRVJZUV73FEWEZO0J/IMG_5644.jpeg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d486763291f2800018f7fdb/1568050569199-D85XD1G12Z7I0LG246PG/A81F678A-F39E-4C64-8F1D-27EDB298FB4B.jpeg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d486763291f2800018f7fdb/1582053521909-FUYUHTK4Z8YA4VXPE47R/IMG_6929.JPG Welcome - Locker Room and Changing Rooms https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d486763291f2800018f7fdb/1654093457250-41L3TSLUZX1O7YOK6ZW6/1F429AEB-BEC0-462F-9069-069853905323.JPG Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d486763291f2800018f7fdb/1654093485653-I0O1NQQZ5VQF7P4Y5JTR/800DB010-AE9D-4FAA-B2E6-12FB48D1169B.JPG Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d486763291f2800018f7fdb/1654093581349-DEV40XKZB0S1WZQH16Z2/IMG_3862.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57bf309d46c3c410fdf9cc34/1472491155320-3AVT4RKJCVZ2Y7D5XACQ/Aro+Ha_1183.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d486763291f2800018f7fdb/1566583836067-GN7WEG7SJ5NH5DDXD7CF/beige-product-background_53876-89504.jpg Welcome https://www.thebridgehotyoga.com/workshops daily 0.75 2024-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d486763291f2800018f7fdb/5d0ddd20-36e8-4fad-a5d1-ee74a2aff659/Yin+Immersion+Weekend.jpg Workshops & Events - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
