James Bame

Hello, yogis!!!

My name is Bame....James Bame.

My introduction to yoga came at a very early age, in the late 1970's, while watching That's Incredible on TV. I was amazed by the flowing, bending and twisting of a master yogi and his almost inhuman flexibility. It was something I would never forget, but as a natural procrastinator, it would be 45 years before I set foot in a yoga studio for the first time, on April 16, 2022 at age 55.

I was won over immediately and as I jumped in with both feet, head first, daily practice soon became my routine. Eventually, I'd be told I have a great voice for yoga teaching...(and a great face for complete darkness) and through the guidance and encouragement of the staff at Urban Om, I found myself completing their Yoga Teaching Training in June of 2025, and began teaching shortly afterward.

My teaching style has been described as "laid back, and really chill” with sprinkles of humor where I encourage you to practice how YOU feel is best for YOU with the freedom to go wherever your flow takes you, with both external and internal exploration...Do your own thing!

While not practicing yoga, I find myself "fixing" things to their breaking point so "real fixing" is required, fishing, traveling, and listening to Rock'n Roll at ear splitting volumes.…WHAT?!
