I had a very rare day off from teaching on Saturday, so I took the opportunity to attend my first Zumba Kids jam session with the amazing Kearsha! I learned a ton, and it was a genuinely joyful experience, complete with an adorable dancing 3-year-old. I definitely need to get licensed in the Zumba Kids ASAP!

Teaching fitness classes is “only” my side hustle, but it’s also one of my passions. On most days, it’s not a job at all — it brings me joy and energy!

But it’s not always easy. Standing in front of a class, you are vulnerable. You are opening yourself up to criticism, and some people are quick to judge you based on appearance or brief interactions (yes, I’ve been told I’m “scary” because I’m “too fit” and also that I’m “too nice”)… or whether your iPhone playlist/WiFi cooperates that day. While my skin thicker than it once was, when you put your heart into something and it doesn’t get the response you hope for — even when you know the VAST majority of people are kind and appreciative of what you do — it can hurt.

But days like today make it all more than worth while! This morning, I had the honor of subbing for Eileen’s adaptive fitness class at Rocky Run YMCA. We did some modified POUND tracks, showed off our favorite dance moves, and kept everyone moving at their individual ability levels!

Check out the video below — the joy and gratitude for music and movement filled the room with such positive energy. It’s a privilege to share something I love with others, especially those who often don’t have the opportunity to take a class that fits their needs.

Thank you to everyone who supports me and my classes every day, and to all of the instructors who inspired along the way. You all have helped me learn grow in so many ways!
