I have been with SPA LADY since 1993, as a group fitness instructor and now recently club coordinator of our Century Park location. What motivates me is our members; their energy, their ability to overcome setbacks and to take that next step to their goal(s). Whatever that goal may be, I want to be there to help them achieve it. If it is just to step foot into one of our classes, that can be huge for them. Once they are in they are hooked. I am a better instructor because of them, our members challenge me to grow and develop my skills as an educator of fitness. I attend workshops, courses and education days to bring new information and workouts to them. That way we are all growing together in this industry.

I have been trained to teach a variety of styles. I enjoy teaching all of them; high/low, step, knockout, strength, bootcamp, Pilates, yoga, Zumba, metabolic training, and HIIT. They are all different, unique, and challenging in their own way. I want the members to walk away from my classes feeling good and wanting more.

In 2003, I graduated from Grant MacEwan for Massage Therapy. I enjoy learning and understanding the body that I had to go back to school. Since then I have been working as a RMT in the west end.

I am very passionate about fitness, lifestyle and the role that I play. I love it!

A flowing yoga class that links postures together to create sequences. You will move smoothly from one posture to another, to create a vinyasa flow of movement.

I have been teaching yoga for 3 years and experiencing it for over a decade. I love it. Yoga allows me to step back from all the distractions of life and simply experience how I am moving, breathing, and feeling emotionally. We all experience yoga differently and falling out of tree pose, laughing, frustration, and sweat are as much part of the experience as floating up into your first handstand and touching your toes to give your spine some space. Yoga is an exploration of your body, your breath, and your thoughts so there is no rush and yoga journal is not snapping a photo in class, so explore. I teach an integration of strengthening, balancing, opening, and relaxing postures along with breathing techniques to cultivate a harmonious and balanced body and mind. My agenda is to make yoga accessible to every body in the room and share the importance of being yourself in every moment and every pose. You live in your body every single moment and how you feel physically directly effects how you you live your life. As you gain strength, fluidity, and softness in the body you will bring that strength, fluidity, and softness off the mat and into each day and each interaction. As B.K.S Iyengar has said: When health was not there, what can I think of philosophy?

Freedom in the body allows freedom of breath and freedom of mind. Bing!

A great step workout without confusion. This step class will vary in intensity to provide good cardio conditioning. It will accommodate all fitness levels as different intensity options are offered.

Teaching Zumba Fitness is the perfect combination of my favorite things: Latin Dancing and Fitness! I have been dancing since age 5 in my native Colombia and having the opportunity to share some of my culture through music, fitness and fun is a wonderful feeling to share with my students. What I enjoy the most is, after an intense class full of salsa and sweat, watching my students smiling, laughing and feeling less like they worked out and more like they were at a Latin party! I hope to see you in class!
