Getting to the gym is the hardest part so if you don’t have your best workout, give gratitude and thanks to yourself for showing up! Also, try to find a workout buddy (or technology app). Having someone to hold you accountable will give you that extra push to keep going

Introduce yourself to your teacher and tell her why you've decided to take yoga. Get a good mat! I can't say enough for investing in a good mat! I almost forgot the most important part - HAVE FUN! Enjoy your class, be okay with not being good. So what. Everyone was a beginner. Enjoy it!

    Advice for New Members:
    Working out in the water adds a new dimension to traditional land exercise. Both forms are beneficial but water has specific properties that give your body more support. We weigh less in the water so there is less impact on the joints, yet one can actually burn more fat and calories due to the RESISTANCE water provides as we move through it. If you don’t like to sweat, water continually cools the body even when you are working very hard to get your heart rate up and strengthen your muscles. And best of all, water massages your body as it surrounds your every move. And who doesn’t benefit from that!
    Best of all, IT’S FUN!! Give it a try.

    Take things easy if you are new to any activity so you can build up without injuries - it’s okay to be a little sore but super sore means you overdid it! Come try the Restorative Yoga (taught as a Gentle Somatic Restorative Movement class) as a way of helping your body recover from and prepare for more strenuous workouts or just because taking things easy now and then is okay!

    Advice for New Members:

    Congratulations on your decision to get fit! I am here to help you with your fitness goals. I am a hands-on instructor ensuring a enjoyable, safe and effective workout. Whether it is Zumba or BODYPUMP™, I will always give options. If you do not get the moves in the first class, don’t worry about it. It takes a few classes to catch on. If you do not feel you cannot finish the class it is okay to leave halfway through. But come back and don’t give up. For Zumba, just have fun! And if you get lost…JUST SHAKE SOMETHING!!!

    Fitness is a journey, not a destination. Take one step at a time and enjoy every moment of it. Your fitness time = your "me" time. The world can wait for you to devote a little time for you. What would the world do without the better version of you that you want to create!

    Advice for New Members: 

    I would encourage new members to try a variety of group fitness classes to find which ones works best for them. You may fall in love with a class that you never imagined you would enjoy. Also, members should round out their regular fitness routine to include cardio, strength training and some sort of stretching such as yoga, Pilates, or barre. Exercising is part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  You must take care of yourself in order to take care of others.
