Hola! My name is Karina. I am a wife & mother of two beautiful girls. I was drawn to Yoga for the amazing balance it creates in the practitioner. Yoga has the power to create inner peace while connecting the breath, mind, & body. In my classes, I will strive to help each one of the participants find this balance in themselves.

Certified Group Fitness Instructor

Certifications: ZUMBA

Certifications: BODYPUMP

I fell in love with group fitness after surgery. Front and center in my first Zumba class and constantly wanting a challenge, it wasn't long before I discovered the desire to share the motivation and confidence that working out in a GroupX setting provides. At first I was nervous that I was not pretty enough or "in perfect shape" to instruct a fitness class but then I realized everyone is "enough." I started teaching BODYPUMP in 2011 and ZUMBA in 2010. I can't wait to share my enthusiasm of getting safe, effective, and most importantly FUN workouts with everyone.
