When I was on my twenties I was passionate about aerobics and that is why I decide to get a fitness instructor certification for being able to teach and helps others to live a healthy life. Fast forwards after 10 years teaching fitness classes I decided to take my yoga certification and after that I decided that I wanted to persuade Yoga as a career.

My aerobics instructor by then was pregnant and she asked me to cover her classes while she was on maternity leave, so it was because of her that I was motivated to take the fitness certification.
