Hi! I am a professional violinist and teacher from Joplin, Missouri. I'm a fitness enthusiast who loves inspiring others to live healthy lives! I enjoy many different types of fitness including CrossFit, traditional body-building, and on occasion running, but my real passion lies in teaching! I have been teaching group fitness classes for about 5 years and hole certifications in Beachbody formats Insanity and PiYo Live as well as being a certified 200-hour yoga teacher. I've taught at various gyms and clubs over the years and currently teach classes at Millennium Family Fitness in Joplin. People describe me as super high-energy and very fun and silly! I want to push people in my classes to dig deeper than they think they can and DO more than they think they can, all the while having such a great time that they almost don't feel like they're working out! My goal as an instructor is to have people leave my class challenged, dripping in sweat, but with HUGE smiles on their faces! Even as a yoga instructor, I like the keep the mood more light-hearted and not intimidating, still trying to push my participants to want more for their practice but to also respect their bodies and where they are right now. 

As important as I believe physical fitness is, what I believe to be the greatest importance is MENTAL and SPIRITUAL fitness. Pushing hard is great, but what matters most is what we learn on our mats ABOUT ourselves and abilities that we can take OFF the mat to be better, stronger, and more confident humans. :) Most importantly, though, fitness should always be fun and joyful, and I am all about bringing the JOY! :D
