Comments . . .

I got what I came for – confidence, knowledge, understanding. Thank you from my bones to skin and fingers to toes.

Stacey Wittorff Yoga Teacher from Dedham, MA

Margie Topf has been an essential asset to my growing Bikram studio for the past two years. Her ability to use Bikram’s dialogue makes this healing yoga approachable to anyone. She has mentored me and other teachers in our community, lovingly and effectively. Her passion is truly to get your class to a better level because she wants YOU to succeed. She wants YOUR students to experience the tremendous healing this yoga is capable of. Her passion is maintaining the integrity of this yoga for all.

Ashley Ogilvy, Owner Bikram Yoga Burlington, MA

Margie consistently handles any and every situation that she encounters in the class. Whether she has a roomful of beginners, injured and broken bodies, pregnant students or advanced practitioners (and more likely she has a combination) she is able to give each student exactly what he or she needs.
Margie mentors with patience and love and recognizes that all teachers are at a different place in their teaching journey.
