I’ve been teaching a variety of fitness formats for over a decade. Anything from cycle to yoga to bootcamps to barre.
I also have a huge soft spot for animals and have multiples at all times. In the past I’ve tried convincing my husband to move to a place with land so we can have alpacas and goats but he continues to refuse me so when I saw this opportunity open up I knew it would be a perfect fit.
