I graduated college in the sciences, took on science based jobs (field work, customer service to eventually outside sales), and after about 8 years, I didn’t feel passionate about my career. I was always passionate about exercise since I taught aerobics during college, and was always a member at some sort of club. At my most favorite club, I interviewed for the membership sales position. They enthusiastically hired me because they saw me there almost everyday and knew I’d be a great fit. I quickly became the top sales person because I LOVED helping people make healthy decisions for themselves, and could explain the benefits of the club and fitness first hand since I tried most everything there. Working and working out at Club Sport exposed me to so many fitness activities and specialists that I’m certain the knowledge and friendships I gained over 24 years there from personal trainers, physical therapists, group X instructors, yoga teachers, swim coaches, Spartan race coaches, tennis players, and massage therapists will be an asset to any class I teach. While I practiced yoga since the late ‘90’s, experiencing injuries from my more aggressive activities, I started to embrace yoga more over the last 10+ years. My neighbors here were eager for me to start a class in the community, knowing I was working on my certification, and my class has had up to 15 students (when the snowbirds come to town). They give me such positive feedback that (mostly) helped me get rid of “imposter syndrome.”
