She draws on 15+ years of dance and mobility training, Functional Movement, NASM Personal Trainer & Corrective Exercise Specialist, TRX and Barre instructor, ACE Senior Fitness Specialist, Injury & Special Populations, and her 200hr yoga teacher certification to make her classes creative and educational.
