Health Coach
Specializes in Yoga, TRX, HIIT, Barre, Primal Movement, and Other Fun, Innovative Formats
My life revolves around my passion for learning, practicing, and sharing the joy of movement. In my earlier years, I was a dancer, cheerleader, and fitness competitor. My parents often told me: I was dancing and working out in the womb. They also joke that I was practicing yoga before I could walk! I have a B.A. in Human Movement Sciences, and I have a large range of certifications including but not limited to: 500 RYT Yoga Alliance, ACE, ACSM Group Ex Instructor, NASM Personal Trainer, CA Certified Massage Therapist (specializing in Sports massage and Thai Yoga Massage). I am continually inspired by the transformative powers of yoga and fitness- providing nourishment for the body, mind, and spirit. I am in awe of the infinite, creative ways they can make you stronger and more agile while rejuvenating every fiber of your body. I love how they both can be customized for everyone at every level. I strive to bring a sense of fun, freedom, and kindness to my classes and hope to share empowering wisdom along the way.
I believe that optimal fitness is like life; there's always a perpetual evolution. That is the big reason why I am so passionate about teaching and taking a variety of group classes every week. I am always learning! Every fitness session with me will include a healthy dose of the following: doubt or fear (which helps build confidence), inspiration, perspiration, persistence, practice, determination, pleasure, and hopefully celebrating JOY! Group fitness isn't just efficient and effective; it can ignite your spirit and improve every part of your life!
Pop and old school funk are some favorites, but I love a bit of all genres.
It's difficult to pick just one! I have two Chihuahuas so we get to play "tourist" all over the city through many neighborhoods - the Castro, Twin Peaks, the Sunset District, and of course, all the parks! Stern Grove, Fort Funston and Dolores Park to name a few!
I'm an amazing chameleon! I can be an educator, drill sergeant, coach, cheerleader, & healer!
