Alyssa
Inferno Mat Pilates Instructor
​
Hi my name is Alyssa, and I'm your Inferno Pilates Instructor! I've been in love with Inferno since 2021, and have been teaching since 2022. I found my love for fitness and wellness when I started attending college here in Cheney in 2017. I've lived in this lively community for the least ten years and share many memories. When I'm not teaching you can find my training jujitsu, practicing hot yoga, or spending time with friends. I find it important to practice my own self-care to ensure I'm bringing my best to you all. In my class, I will always bring you my highest energy to motivate you to your greatest potential. When you give the best that you can, you're best will always be enough.

Carrie
Barre Instructor
​
I grew up in the Spokane Valley & have lived in Cheney for the past 9 years. I'm an EWU Alumni & graduated w/ my education degree. I love the friendly community that Cheney offers & local businesses that are just a short walk away. I started taking Barre classes when I was pregnant w/ my youngest child 4 years ago. I began teaching 2 years ago. I love that Barre is a low-impact, full body workout that is so much fun. My favorite thing about teaching is sharing my love of Barre with my students!

Heather
Yoga Instructor
I fell in love with yoga from my very first class. Twelve years ago, I began teaching kids and later adults and seniors. In kid’s classes, I playfully introduce movement, breathwork, and mindfulness. In other classes, I interlace mantra, meditation, mindfulness, mudra, and music. We create a union of the body, mind, and spirit by aligning, breathing, grounding, and being present. I love the community students create in each class. Yoga is my passion, and I am honored to be your guide!
