Jara Clark

Jara, mother of two boys, has been living with her family in Norfolk, Virginia since 2005. Prior to children She held several job titles ranging from waitress to executive assistant. She graduated from Norfolk State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. Relatively new to the Dance Fitness scene, she received her Mixxedfit Certification in September 2018 and began teaching in February 2019. Fitness is her passion.  Formerly  a Commit and Mixxedfit instructor,  she is also certified in 1st Aid, AED, and CPR. 

After children she found herself heavier than she had ever been. At the time she had been telling her oldest son, then 5, that the three main components to a healthy life included 1. Eating, 2. Sleeping and 3. Exercising. Soon she realized she wasn’t following her own words, and immediately decided upon a gym membership with the YMCA. After enrolling, she began trying class after class until she fell in love with Zumba. After about a year of consistency she required more challenge and got introduced to the then Hip Hop Class, now called MIXXEDFIT. There she learned  to deal with some harsh truths about her own self love. Through discipline and consistency she began to witness not only her physical form change but her mindset change. 

Jara is grateful for her fitness experience, and to all those who have influenced her on her journey. She strives to honor those instructors who have aided her on and off the dance floor, through her classes and in her personal lifestyle. She has a strong love of fitness and a dedicated practice, and hopes to share that love and dedication with anyone who is willing to get on the floor. Her goal is to help individuals realize that fitness is more mental than it is physical and growth through fitness can be an all encompassing change of mind, body, and spirit. Due to her experience as a young single black fit-activist mother, BREATHE was born. Breathe is a book that teaches you how to make good healthy smoothies in a simple and delicious way. It is a collaboration of smoothie recipes that she put together to assist families, individuals, women, men and children alike to build resiliency everyday and live healthy eternally. She has taken the holistic approach to help her through her journey modeling, her fitness and healthy food lifestyle.
