My fitness profile began with dance. I am a classical trained dancer, and attended IWC in San Antonio, TX were I recieved a partical dance scholorship at 18. I was a member of the college dance team and a non professional dance group in San Antionio. Later I discoverd my passion for weight training and entered my first body building contest in 1999. I won the light weight novice and overall show. I continued competing in 2000 and 2003. Since the birth of my first child in February of 2005 I have not competed; however, plan to compete for a pro card in 2007. I became certified as a personal trainer shortly after my first bodybuilding show. I have worked in a private personal training studio and also privately in clients homes. My client profile has been very eclectic. My youngest client has been 10 years old and my oldest 71 years. I am currently formating outdoor group training programs with simple restince equipment such as bands that is becoming very popular. Between shows in 2001 and 2002 I began distance running. I competed 3 marathons within four months. During my training I have competed and placed in several local 5, 10 and half marathons. Lastly, I began pracicing Yoga shortly after my first body building show in 1999. I immediatly benifited from the multiple benifits of my practice. I became certified to teach in 2003 and have been teaching privately ever since. I am currently teaching a beginner sport yoga class in my home once a week.
