Evaluations, Interviews, and Biographies

In the past, I’ve only taken one yoga class I actually enjoyed. It wasn’t at the JCC though, it was at Lulu Lemons. The class was two hours long but mainly consisted of savasana, which is where you lie on your back with your eyes closed and breathe and become absolutely relaxed. Yesterday, I finally took a yoga class at the JCC that I enjoyed. I believe it had to do with the instructor because she was able to crack a few jokes and modified moves for those less coordinated. She has been working at the JCC for twenty years and has literally taught and been certified in every possible group exercise. Most of yesterday I interviewed many instructors and wrote several biographies. We interviewed my sponsor and I knew most of her background because she often mentions or refers to it, but it was really interesting to know that she truly began the group fitness program at the JCC and is still with them. I’m amazed at how young group fitness is at the JCC, only about twenty years old, yet it still has affected so many people and has huge influence and power at the JCC. Today I took a cycling class and evaluated the instructor. To the side is a picture of the cycling studio. It is a class, regardless of the teacher, always has several participants. Additionally, Katie and I began to film our zumba class because in the actual zumba class, the camera didn’t record the entire class and for what it did record, Sergio blocked the lens. Additionally, we wrote up more biographies.
