It has become my lifestyle over the last 20 years, beginning with long-distance bike riding, mountain biking, triathlons, and other endurance sports, and evolving to more attention to strength training, yoga, and close attention to nutrition. I&#8217;ve sought to build my body and mind in a balanced way, strength and flexibility, striving to be better while accepting all that I am. Recently, I&#8217;ve started to teach yoga and fitness classes at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heartofvillageyoga.com\" target=\"_blank\">Heart of the Village Yoga Studio<\/a>. I&#8217;ve always enjoyed teaching and coaching sports&#8230; skiing, snowboarding, soccer, baseball&#8230; This past winter, I coached Special Olympics athletes. Recently, I taught yoga to some high school students and teams. So, why not coach some individuals this summer, too?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve decided to work with a few selected individuals this summer as a way to get started. I am a ACSM Certified Personal Trainer and Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200). I have been working myself for the past year with Dave Knight at Spectrum Fitness Consulting in Beverly, MA, and have been inspired by my friend in California, Tyler Simmons of Evolutionary Health Systems.\u00a0In addition to numerous yoga teacher-trainings,\u00a0I have attended many strength and conditioning workshops over the years with Cressey Performance in Hudson, MA, and will be working towards my Certified Functional Strength Coach and Precision Nutrition certifications this summer. I will be looking for 5 individuals who&#8217;d like to work together with me for 3 months!<\/p>\n<p>Now, to get the word out&#8230; I just joined <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thumbtack.com\/vt\/manchester-center\/health-coaches\/yoga-lessons-personal-fitness-traning&quot;&gt;Perspective\" target=\"_blank\">Thumbtack.com<\/a> to help me spread the word.\u00a0I also have a new small website for my business name: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.perspective-coaching-vt.com\" target=\"_blank\">Perspective Coaching<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, life is a balancing act. For me, it is a lifelong practice. So much to see. So much to do. So much to learn. So much to share.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1479\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amentorwalkswithme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/1376545_921695061205414_1671805727494696875_n.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1479\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1479 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amentorwalkswithme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/1376545_921695061205414_1671805727494696875_n.jpg?resize=300%2C200\" alt=\"1376545_921695061205414_1671805727494696875_n\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amentorwalkswithme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/1376545_921695061205414_1671805727494696875_n.jpg?resize=300%2C200 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amentorwalkswithme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/1376545_921695061205414_1671805727494696875_n.jpg?resize=450%2C300 450w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amentorwalkswithme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/1376545_921695061205414_1671805727494696875_n.jpg?w=960 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1479\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Ali Kaukas for Heart of the Village Yoga Studio, Manchester, VT<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-1477\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/amentorwalkswithme.com\/?p=1477&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/amentorwalkswithme.com\/?p=1477&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/amentorwalkswithme.com\/?p=1477\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\"><span>Print<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-1477\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/amentorwalkswithme.com\/?p=1477&amp;share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\"><span>LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As most of you know, I maintain a very regular practice of personal fitness.
