I started teaching fitness classes at my local YMCA when no one else wanted to teach. Having taken fitness classes for many years, I wasn't going to go without, and if no one else was willing to do it, then I would! Since then, I have continued to explore various types of formats and exercise methods. My favorite types of classes to teach are interval, step, Pilates, and yoga. I also dance and teach an embodied prayer class at our church. I am a very thorough in my teaching and love people to ask questions in my classes. I believe every question allows others to learn more and go deeper in their own technique. I believe in being a lifelong learner. I love to learn about ways to enhance my exercise technique and pass that along to my students. Join me for a class at the Ashland YMCA or through my church, 5 Stones Community Church.
