LifeTime Fitness - August 2022 - Present     Yoga Teacher and Group Fitness Instructor

I teach yoga classes at LifeTime Fitness in Johns Creek, Georgia and Lawrenceville, Georgia.  I teach on average 2 - 3 classes per week.  I generally teach a Vinyasa style of yoga, and I am able to adapt the speed or intensity of the movements to the participants in the class.  I love teaching and I love interacting with the participants.  I talk with them and try to learn the names of all the members who return to my classes.  I set out to make each yoga experience fun, uplifting, beneficial, and safe.  I select music that helps achieve this experience for members.

I also teach a Barbell format and a HIIT class format at LifeTime Fitness, coaching, motivating, and leading members into higher levels of fitness and power.
