The genesis of Burn Bliss came about in a very organic way. I wanted to infuse my love of mind body strength training with the power of hear t pumping cardio…..but MOST of all , I wanted to give my clients a format that would be safe, fun & effective , and would CELEBRATE the joy of movement! In teaching yoga and core classes for many years, and I absolutely fell in love with the connection of breath to movement , the balance of mind to body , and the combination of strength and flexibility. I was noticing , however , that people ALSO wanted more traditional cardio work to round out their practice , and would usually seek it out in the mundane & time – consuming form of hours on a treadmill or elliptical machine . I just knew there was a better way!! A way to bring the connection of BREATH and presence of mind to cardio work, rather than disconnecting by slapping on a pair of headphones and mindlessly struggling a long on a machine. Also… let’s get practical!! We are all incredibly busy, and don’t have time to take a 90 minute yoga class then head to a gym for more hours of work . I wanted to create a discipline that would balance absolutely EVERYTHING we could ever want or need in a 60 minute class!

I envisioned a unique format of “mind-body interval training” for optimal efficiency & fat – burn! I se t my mind (and heart) to work… finding all the BEST moves from my background in yoga, pilates, dance , martial arts , core work , fitness , and sports….. seamlessly inter twining these disciplines in to the ultimate JOY of MOVEMENT workout!!

And Voila! Burn Bliss was born! In addition to scorching calories, streamlining the body, and building lean muscle, Burn Bliss also boosts the metabolicrate, improves bone density, and focuses on creating length & suppleness in the spine, which keeps us youthful & vibrant! Burn Bliss also tones the core, protects the back, & strengthens the

connective tissue that supports our joints. Perhaps BEST of all… Burn Bliss (and my style of coaching in general) encourages people to BE PRESENT and ENJOY the moment… to “move like themselves” and cultivate individuality & a pro found belief in the “power within”. The class was instantly a HUGE hit, debuting at the prestigious Equinox Santa Monica Club, and quickly spreading to clubs all across California. As I began teaching sold out classes to ALL kinds of people from celebrities to grandmothers, to elite Olympic athletes, I quickly realized that everyone, no matter what their fitness history, was able to work at their own individual level…. Finding both ultimate challenge (Burn), and supreme joy of movement, breath, and inner strength (Bliss). Immediately people were getting unbelievable results!! And not JUST physical results!! People were connecting radiating open hearts, vibrant minds & joyful energies!

They were literally finding their BLISS! And THAT, my friends, is the ultimate reward!
