I have been practicing yoga for 22 years. I have taught kids, adults, and seniors yoga for 14 years. I am certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid thru the Red Cross. I have my 300hr-RYT. Have 300+ training hours in Pilates Reformer. Have my Certified Personal Training and Corrective exercise training certificates through NASM. I teach Yoga, Pilates-Mat and Reformer/Tower/Chair, Barre, Boot Camp, Active Older Adult classes, Tai Chi, Paddleboard Yoga, and do Personal training. I believe all aspects of yoga are equally important. I teach, in the Yogafit style, an equal part class that includes warm-up, salutations, standing poses, balance, cool-down/stretching, and relaxation/meditation. My number one concern is to teach yoga in a safe manner, yet I want each student to find his/her own challenging level. My yoga classes are more fitness based than some traditional yoga classes, I try to make people of all backgrounds; physically, ethnically, and religiously, feel comfortable and capable in yoga. I like that the Yogafit trainings allow me to bring my own energy and personality into the classroom to make me a more positive and motivating instructor.In Pilates I follow the traditional format, offering modifications where needed. Again my main concern is to teach Pilates in a safe manner. I try to give my participants a full core work out including abdominals, full back, shoulders, hips, and gluteus. Many times I will also include arms and legs into my routine. I have taught straight mat style, using no tools, and have taught using many tools, including weights, bands, Bosus, and stability balls.Currently, my boot camp class is high intensity and low impact since we are workoing out at home and the surface may not be the best for joints doing high impact.For Barre, we do ballet drills first and them move on to strength conditioning.I love work with peole who are new to exercise or have special conditions I need to work with. I love seeing people get stronger and keep moving forward.
