AM 200HR - Feb 2018
Pismo Beach Ca/ Las Vegas Nv/ soon to be Florida resident 🌎
I am a bit of a wild child with a strong curiosity for exploring the unknown. This creates a very playful and dynamic environment in all things I do.
My yoga journey began in 2016 which has laid down the strong foundation for my loves of Pole Dance & Contortion.
I received my 200hr YTT from AM in 2018 and have undergone various Pole Dance trainings, specializing in Floor Work & Beginners Aerial Techniques..
Reflecting on the AM YTT Experience
| Why did you choose Authentic Movements for your YTT? | |
| I chose Authentic Movements for my initial 200 hr training because I loved the versatility and accessibility of an online training. My original in-person training was canceled due to COVID, and it was a blessing in disguise – because the AM training was focused on creativity and functional anatomy, which was exactly what I was looking for! | |
| How did the online training platform work for you? | |
| With a 9-5 job, taking the online training at my own pace whenever I had free time was perfect. The online platform was easy to navigate, and the AM team was always available when I had any questions. | |
| How has your teaching changed since completing the AM YTT? | |
| My teaching style has dramatically changed since I completed the training – I am much more drawn to accessible classes for every body type, as well as creative flows that are not only fun, but keep my students on their toes! | |
| How have you engaged with the AM community of alums and students during and after the training? | |
| I love the AM alum community. There are several trainees from around the globe that I connected with immediately, and we are still in contact to this day! They are always available to bounce ideas off of, and practice with virtually through Zoom. It’s a lovely community! | |
| What was your favorite part of the course content? | |
| I absolutely loved the creative vinyasa flows included in each chapter, because they were all so unique. But also the myofascial release classes from Bianca – I had never practiced this before, and it blew my mind! Hoping to learn much more about myofascial release in the future. |
