| Welcome Back Josee! After taking a couple years break, Josee is back and ready to help guide you in your fitness and yoga journey. She’s offering two classes this semester, Sculpt and Sweat as well as our very popular Candlelit Yin Yoga! She’s certified RYT 500 for yoga as well she holds her CFES Group Fitness Instructor certification. Josee completed both her Undergrad and master’s at UBCO! Her very first yoga class that she ever taught was with UBCO Rec! Josee is a full-time social worker, but when she is not teaching or working, you can find her on her paddleboard, hiking, or enjoying the sunshine. Josee's style of teaching both yoga and fitness are based on finding a way of movement that works for you. She values safety, autonomy, and choice in every single class, and wants to create space in which everyone feels like they belong. For the latest up to date information on Josee’s classes make sure to check out our recreation website!
