Jeanean Castle, 37 Years Old, Married 5' 4", 112 lbs. YMCA Certified Instructor Zumba Certified Instructor Yoga Instructor Originally from Washington State and Honolulu, Hawaii, my group exercise and yoga experience is an accumulation of more than 20 years of gym and studio memberships. I studied at the Bikram studio in Kaimuki on Oahu. I have studied under Guru Harriet Lerner and am certified and employed with the YMCA as a group instructor. I teach weekly exercise classes at the YMCA and weekly yoga classes at the Yoga Room in Guthrie, Oklahoma. I love to encourage people to be healthy and make time to take care of themselves. Exercise is such an important part of total body wholeness. It is exciting to me to see my students reach their goals and experience a sense of accomplishment and well-being. I have a very gentle and pleasant teaching style. My students enjoy my careful attention and cheerful, encouraging words. I think exercise should be fun too. I want my students to enjoy themselves. My own personal exercise and yoga practice is something I enjoy very much. I exercise about two hours a day. I am always learning and reading about new positions, exercise benefits, latest trends and attending workshops. I study under many different instructors as well. I am in great physical shape and I believe this is an encouragement to my students too. I am looking forward to the opportunity to get to participate in the Fit Bodies program. I think it would be a great opportunity to meet new people, professionally enhance the resort experience and provide a healthy service.
