I just completed Module training for BodyFlow June 29, 2008 and passed! See group photo - I'm 3rd from the right in the front row. This was my first Les Mills experience and what an incredible three-day journey it was. Emily - you're an awesome force of nature - such positive energy and contagious enthusiasm. To my fellow instructors at Campo YMCA who were part of this weekend - thanks again for your support and encouragement (and the chop sticks). To my new friends in Les Mills, I learned so much hearing you share your stories and watching us all grow together.

Now, I'm creating my very first webpage (more pictures to come) and getting ready for team teaching. Lot's to do in the next few months (as you all know!).

A bit about myself ... While I was a runner in college, the years afterward got filled with family and work priorities (I'm still a full-time corporate employee). But the last eight years I've renewed my fitness goals and the journey has been incredible - several duathlons, 60-mile bike rides, 5K, 10K, and 15K races, yoga practice, and now I'm even teaching.

Reoccurring hip pain from pounding the pavement was incentive for taking my first yoga class four years ago and within six months, I had no more pain ... not to mention I also gained a more calm and centered outlook to life. I now teach yoga and am pursuing my RYT 200 certification.

Adding Les Mills BodyFlow has been a natural fit with my yoga practice. BodyFlow is a wonderful blend of mind, body, and spirit ... energizing and calming all three. And, now, I'm on my way to teaching it as well.

I have been extremely blessed to have had nuturing and enthusiastic mentors ... those who have helped me achieve my personal fitness goals and those who have helped me attain certifications and allowed me the opportunities to teach. I hope one day soon, I too can help mentor someone along their journey!
