Meet Aujanai 🧡

Aujanai has been part of the BBF family since June 2026, bringing her love of teaching and helping others into every Stretch & Restore class.

Her biggest piece of advice? Start where you are. You don’t have to jump into anything too advanced or intense, and there’s no need to compare your movement to anyone else’s. Your practice is your own.

You can expect chill lo-fi hip hop covers in her classes, creating the perfect atmosphere to slow down, reset, and reconnect with your body.

When she’s not teaching, Aujanai loves spending time with friends and family and trying out different hobbies.

We’re so happy to have you on the BBF team, Aujanai! 🧡

Keep going, you’re doing better than you think 🖤

Meet Joy 🧡
Joy joined the BBF family in June 2026, bringing her dance background and love of class based movement into every Reformer Pilates and Chair class she teaches.

She first fell in love with Pilates because of its connection to dance, with the same focus on control, strength, and movement. It quickly made her stronger, and from there she decided to take the leap into teaching. We’re so glad she did.
If you’re new to Pilates, Joy’s biggest advice is not to let the Reformer intimidate you. There are plenty of modifications and options to make the experience work for you, no matter where you’re starting. You might be a little sore at first, but stick with it and you’ll start to notice just how much stronger you’re getting.

Her class soundtrack? 2000s and 2010s throwbacks and empowering girl pop, obviously.

When she’s not teaching, Joy is exploring everything Kansas City has to offer and spending time with her partner and their dog, Ernie.
We’re so happy to have you at BBF, Joy! 🧡

Meet Anaja 🧡

Anaja has been part of the BBF family since October 2025, bringing her background as a longtime dancer and dance teacher into every class she teaches. You can find her leading Barre Sculpt and BBF Heels, where movement, music, and a whole lot of fun come together.

She’s passionate about making movement feel accessible, no matter where you’re starting. She’ll walk you through everything while keeping things low-impact and approachable.

And then there’s the music. Her go-to? 2000s club anthems, because every workout is better with a good throwback.

When she’s not teaching, she’s probably traveling, so if you need a good recommendation, Anaja’s your girl.

We’re so lucky to have you, Anaja! 🧡

kinda chic to be a part of the bbf community 😇
