I’m Sasha, I am an 8th-grade educator with a Master’s in Special Education, based in NY and reside in CT. Balancing roles as a teacher, wife, mother, and fitness enthusiast, dance and fitness have been my passion and joy. Fitness has been my go-to for resetting my routine, finding peace, and bringing me happiness. My journey into fitness began in 2017, and I took it seriously after the birth of my son. I became a Zumba instructor in 2020, inspired and encouraged by friends and other fitness instructors. Fun Fact: I enjoy hiking, pencil sketching, or reading self-improvement books in my spare time.

My name is Shana, a Bronx native living in CT for nine years. In December 2022, at 267 lbs and pre-diabetic, I decided to prioritize my health and started my fitness journey. This led me to become a spin instructor and later a group fitness, kickboxing, and weight training instructor, eventually becoming a personal trainer. I never imagined I’d teach, but now I'm inspired to help others reach their goals and show that becoming the best version of yourself is possible, no matter where you start. Fun Fact: My favorite color is purple
