About
Movement has always been more than a workout for me. It has been a lifelong passion. After years of taking dance fitness, HIIT, barre, yoga, Lagree, Mat Pilates, and boutique fitness classes, my love for movement eventually led me to open up my own studio and become an instructor myself -- more about me here.
Like many aspiring instructors, I thought certification would teach me everything I needed to confidently lead a room. One certification quickly turned into many:
-
UJam Instructor
-
Zumba Instructor
-
BollyX Cardio Dance Instructor
-
Balanced Body Movement Principles
-
Power Pilates Core Mat I
-
Power Pilates Core Mat II
-
NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT)
-
NASM Certified Nutrition Coach (CNC)
-
NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES)
-
NASM Performance Enhancement Specialist (PES)
-
AFAA Group Fitness Instructor (GFI)
-
JOYA HIIT Mat Pilates
-
CPR
Each certification strengthened my foundation, but I quickly learned that knowing how to teach movement and knowing how to lead a great class are two different things. Confidence, class planning, programming, cueing, musicality, coaching, room management, and creating an exceptional student experience came through teaching, practicing, making mistakes, observing other instructors, and continuously learning.
That experience inspired me to create Blueprint.
Blueprint brings together the frameworks, class structures, templates, exercises, playlists, and ready-to-use tools I wish I had when I started teaching. I spent a lot of time creating and refining these systems, and Blueprint makes them easy to use so instructors can shorten the ramp-up time, spend less time building from scratch, and focus more on teaching with confidence.
