PHILOSOPHY
I have always enjoyed working out and what better way to do this than with group exercise classes. I feel it keeps you committed to exercising while at the same time experiencing a fun , motivating atmosphere. I promote this in all my group fitness classes so that members can achieve their goals to a healthy lifestyle while obtaining their maximum level of fitness. The best fitness class isn't worth nearly as much to you if you are not having fun while doing it

RIAN O - FITNESS PROFESSIONAL
PHILOSOPHY
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance... "Leanne Womack". My goal is to make your workout fun. I want to inspire and push you a little bit more each time you come to class. Being fit is not just about working out. It incorporates good nutrition, strength training, cardiovascular exercise, and a positive attitude. In order to achieve this mental and physical well being you need to be determined and committed to ridding yourself of all the things that prevent you from being the person you want to be. You need to get u everyday and believe that you can do whatever you set your mind to!

Finding the power that lies within us. Fabienne focuses on the alignment of Iyengar, the communication of the body with the breath and the life force energy flowing. She enjoys flow yoga as well as yin yoga and her teaching is very influenced by the coaching of Sarah Power and Joseph Lepage, a yoga therapist who sees yoga as a spiritual healing. She speaks freely and open her heart to see the light, the love, and the potential in each one of us. In her teaching, she honors mother earth, the sun, the moon, and the universe's influences. This allows us to remember that we are more than what we think and that the life force energy is working with us
