Leah is very excited to be one of the newer group fitness instructors on the schedule! You may have seen her working behind the front desk greeting members as they come in. Now you can see her teaching Yoga Basics on Thursdays from 6-7pm and Power Yoga on Sundays from 11:30-12:30.
In her class you can expect to not only increase your flexibility and strength, but also burn off calories and detoxify your body! She will also teach you to increase your awareness and learn to breathe through the challenges we all face on a daily basis. By heightening our awareness we can learn to use compassion and tolerance when interacting with others, while remembering that those things which unite us far outweigh those things that separate us. Hope to see you in class!
Leeah teaches at FFC-EL:
Wednesday 7.45pm/ Yoga
Friday 5.00pm/FitCore and 5.30pm Yoga
Joy Miles has been taking Pilates since high school and started teaching back in 2004. Joy's journey in Pilates started as part of her dance curriculum in high school. But, it was also a suggestion from her family doctor to help correct a moderate case of scoliosis. She continued taking Pilates classes in undergrad but did not start the steps to teach until a friend of hers suggested that she become a group Exercise Instructor. Not only did she become Group Exercise certified through AFAA but also Personal Training Certified as well. Her Pilates Certification comes from Balanced Body University and she has also taken continuing education courses through Peak Pilates and AFAA.
Joy has continued and expanded her education by utilizing her skills and knowledge to mentor new instructors and also merging Pilates with Triathlon, Marathon and Swim training. As a marathoner and Triathlete, Pilates has helped her connect more with what her body is doing while racing. To schedule with Joy, e-mail her at jmiles@ffc.com.
This Individualized workout program focuses on developing a strong "core" or center of the body. Pilates strengthens and lengthens muscles without creating bulk. Pilates promotes physical and mental well-being by emphasizing proper breathing, correct spinal alignment, and complete concentration on smooth, flowing movements. Duet and trio training options are available. Contact FFC East Lakeview Pilates Trainer Joy Miles at jmiles@ffc.com.
