Olena

transform both bodies and lives for better. Her students say that Olena's
teaching is non-intrusive, yet instructional, and her demonstration of yoga
postures gives them something to strive for. Olena believes in progressing her
students at their own pace honoring where they are in their practice. Being a
dedicated practitioner herself and a teacher who still delights in learning from
others, she offers classes where you can learn does not matter your yoga

Stroller
Fitness (Fridays)…
My
name is April Rodriguez. I've been working in the fitness industry since 2004
when I began teaching group fitness classes. I became certified as a personal
trainer in 2006 and have been teaching and training since. I specialize in
bootcamp, spinning, aqua aeorbics, and strength based training. I became a
fitness trainer in pursuit of my own fitness and I love giving the gift of
health and well-being to others. As a mother myself, I know the challenges of
trying to fit in time for personal exercise with small children, which is why
teaching Stroller Fitness is so much fun for me. I love meeting other mothers
and being able to provide them a fun way to spend time with their children as
well as take time for themselves.
