Why my class?
Yoga Sculpt is workout which exemplifies, "time flies when your having fun." It provides a total body workout each class, cardio included, with a lot of diversity of movement to great music.
How do you motivate participants?
I motivate my participants first through the power of the wonderful realm that is music. The power of a good song can change the pain of a squat to the glory of a dance party, after all fitness should be enjoyed. Secondly I motivate participants by making the experience personal to them by articulating benefits of whatever it is they are doing.
Why do you teach group fitness?
I teach group fitness because I am passionate about the development of community based growth. In class the group as a whole is powerful, motivation, and invigorating. It provides a unique opportunity to share in the excitement, struggle, and reward of each move and each class. Together a group can motivate one another while growing together and supporting one another both physically and mentally in a way individualized fitness cannot.
How long have you been teaching group fitness in general?
Less than a year
What is your favorite style of music to play in class?
The kind of songs and beat that makes you WANT to squat and do mountain climbers! :)
