Resources I love :
The Class
Through simple, repetitive calisthenics and plyometrics, participants challenge the body to engage the mind. With guided instruction and powerful music, The Class invites students to witness their resistance to discomfort. The result is an expansive, heart-clearing and body-strengthening release. This Class challenges and enlightens me while building an incredibly strong, lean, resilient body. I am learning tools to empower my life.
