Favorite Lagree Exercise: Dancing Bear


Why I Lagree: I love the high intensity workouts without the high impact especially since I have multiple knee injuries. I am able to challenge my body while quieting my mind. It is so inspiring and heartwarming to workout with my amazing team of instructors and dedicated clients.


You’ll always hear me saying this in class: Smile! You Got This!


Favorite Muscle Groups to Target: Obliques & Glutes


Fun Fact: I am obsessed with collecting passport stamps and want to step foot on every continent. Some of my favorite places I’ve been to include New Zealand, Thailand and Greece. I am scared to death of heights but have no problem skydiving!
