Piyo certification

So the first day of the new year already brings something exciting!  I am officially registered to become a certified Piyo instructor.  Piyo is a mix of yoga and Pilates, the biggest difference being you're in constant motion.  I never in my life imagined that I would be in the position to teach a fitness class!  Growing up I was never healthy and not very active so this is still pretty wild to me!  It's a huge step outside of my comfort zone and I'm pretty nervous but I'm ok with that.  I'm also really excited to start teaching classes so I can really get out into my new community and start helping others.  I also know that this class has a lot of what I personally need to continue to strengthen and heal from my accident.  I am really confident that this is what my body and mind needs to really start feeling better.   One of the reasons I was so nervous to take this step is because I'm not very flexible and I've felt pretty beat up since my car accident.  Then I remembered ... that's not what it's about.  It's about supporting others in their health journey and being there to motivate and inspire ... that I can do!  I tell my clients all the time not to compare themselves to where others are - just focus on improving upon your best so that's what I need to do.  I am heading into this new experience with an open heart and mind, excited to learn more skills I can use in my quest to help others!
The class is January 18th and is a one day, all day, certification.  It's really close to my house, which is cool.  From there I will be looking to start teaching Piyo classes in the Kirkland, WA area most likely this spring. Stay tuned for details ....
