Summary
Passionate Group Fitness Instructor with an extensive eighteen-year background in guiding individuals towards their fitness and wellness goals. Committed to fostering a positive and inclusive environment, I specialize in Pilates, holding instructor training with Merrithew Stott Pilates covering all levels of Matwork, Reformer, Cadillac, Stability Chairs and Barrels as well as addressing individuals with injuries and special populations.
In 2006, I pioneered the creation of Noga, a fusion class seamlessly blending yoga, weights, and Pilates modalities to deliver a unique and effective workout experience. Recognized for genuine care and authentic energy, I am dedicated to ensuring the safety and adaptability of my instruction for students of all ages and abilities.
My teaching philosophy revolves around encouraging students to surpass their perceived limits, creating a challenging yet supportive atmosphere. By maintaining awareness of each individual's needs and feelings, I strike a balance between pushing them to achieve their best without discouragement. This approach not only helps students feel accomplished but also motivates them to consistently attend my classes and explore other offerings. Excited to bring my expertise and passion to a client-focused team, I am ready to contribute to the well-being of individuals through fitness instruction.
