Here is a little bit more about Josie.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“I just recently became a true Oregonian this last September when I married my sweet husband, Wesley and moved to the Tualatin area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I grew up in Washington state, in a small town on the Canadian border. My family and I are Canadian and eight years ago I moved back to Canada in a very remote area. We lived in the middle of the ocean and mountains, a place you can only get to by boat or float plane. My job there was to manage and help run a treetop ropes course, a giant tree swing, and a zip line tour. This is also, crazy enough, where I met my husband!<\/span><\/p>\n I am someone who has always had an immense amount of energy so working out in some sort of way quickly became a normal part of my adult life. I love to try new things and physically challenge myself. I\u2019ve gotten to try many fun fitness classes and some acrobat classes but I always had my favorite \u201cgo to\u201d workout that never disappointed, Pilates! I also love to spend time with people. So when I moved here and was thinking about what I should do for work, I thought it would be a great idea to put my two favorite things together: Pilates (working out) and building relationships (people).<\/span><\/p>\n Pilates teaches many things such as strengthening, endurance, balance, body awareness, and proper breathing. In my classes I like to talk the whole time about each exercise and how your body should be feeling during each movement; I like to do this to help everyone get to know their bodies and have more awareness of what is happening inside us during each exercise. I also set aside a good amount of time in my class for stretching and rolling, this is equally as important as the actual workout itself!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n My goal is to create a comfortable space for people to challenge themselves, teach themselves, and be proud of themselves for choosing to do something hard.<\/span><\/p>\n Can\u2019t wait to meet you and do Mat Pilates together!”<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thanks for sharing more about you, Josie and we can’t wait to join one of your classes!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are thrilled to welcome Josie to the Active at Reed’s Crossing team as a Group Fitness Instructor!
