I love teaching fitness and my career spans almost 40 years; yup,I started teaching aqua & step in the 80's and I wore spandex! I enjoy teaching indoor cycling, step aerobics, deep water running and any type of HITT class. I completed my 200 hour Yoga Alliance training in 2018 and teach most forms of yoga. My goals for 2024 are to get my first aid instructor and pro-fitness trainer certifications to bring fitness instructor training to our beautiful Columbia Valley in Invermere, BC in the heart of the Rocky and Purcell Mountain Ranges.  I have a passion for fitness and sports both land and water & outdoor pursuits; both winter & summer. I have enjoyed a lifetime of playing competitive volleyball & basketball, lifeguarding and swimming, and love to play any sport for fun, fitness and recreation - and sometimes to be competitive! I enjoy outdoor recreational races on occasion that include paddling, biking and hiking. I am currently enjoying a seasons ski pass skiing at Panorama Mountain Resort - a treat to my partner and I upon seeing all our kids move out of home to their own homes - ahh freedom! Hence, my pro fit travel brief story - 2020 brings me to my first teaching trip!  Holidaying over the years I would find a way to work out each morning before the events of the day took hold and participating in all resort fit offerings or if we weren't "resorting", I sought out a local gym or yoga studio - hilarious when English is not the first language of the instructor! An amazing fellow fitness instructor and very dear friend found pro-fit travel and suggested it to me and now here we are! I popped some pics in a random file and am hoping to add pics in of pro-fit travel teaching trips :) Loving looking at 2024 & have now done a few teaching trips. Incredible trips & made really neat friendships xo
