What is  your why?  What is your take-away?  Why are you here (BTW- I am so glad that you are) ?

Let’s get real.  Life is busy and often hard.  It’s a challenge to juggle the balance work, kids, loved ones, health, emotions, mindset… but we can.  We all want to find enlightenment or a better body or maybe Vairāgya.  But we are not living like a monk and cannot take time to extensively meditate.  I am happy if I tap into that divine source here and there.  When I do that – it guides me through the rest.  This is what I want to share with you.  Feeling better in the body but also mentally and spiritually.  Let’s celebrate and share our victories especially the small ones.

  • "...she's always so upbeat and enthusiastic- you forget it's a workout and just have fun!"
    "I'm a big fan of Rebekah's Kickboxing and Step classes. When I first started, I was a novice to aerobics classes. My first class with her was a step class and I didn't know the first thing about it- what was a U step? a K-step? It was all foreign to me. I was a little nervous- I thought for sure I wouldn't know what to do and I'd make a fool of myself, but she explained everything so well, I felt like a pro! After that I was hooked! Rebekah is such a motivator; she's always so upbeat and enthusiastic- you forget it's a workout and just have fun!"  Kathleen LaVigne
  • "She was adept at adapting moves to my level of ability and flexiblity and very responsive to any requests for help..."
    "Rebekah did a wonderful job explaining even the most basic moves and was always willing to model them for me or help me adjust my position. She was adept at adapting moves to my level of ability and flexiblity and very responsive to any requests for help with or emphasis on certain postures or aspects of yoga."  Kerry Sabbag
  • "...her cardio workouts are exceptional, high energy and fun!!!"
    "You will get an amazing total bodyworkout....all the time -- her cardio workouts are exceptional, high energy and fun!!!"  Dee DelPadre Picone

  • "In each instance Rebekah strived to make herself a better teacher and everyone in her class a better student and person."

    "Prior to my study of yoga, I had the opportunity to participate in a number of Rebekah Aramini’s exercise classes. In each class Rebekah invested the time to demonstrate the proper technique, observe and correct our techniques, and provide personal instruction/advice after class. This was done to connect with each member of the class to improve their fitness and well being.
    She is an energetic, involved teacher who was an extremely popular instructor due to her style of teaching—complete knowledge of the subject, encouragement/help to achieve the proper technique, providing the background of the technique—the purpose/ goal etc.
    In each instance Rebekah strived to make herself a better teacher and everyone in her class a better student and person. For approximately 10 years I have observed Rebekah Aramini’s teaching manner and the qualities inherent in her being is what she has brought to Yoga.
    She is now “living the life of the Yogi’ and I have been lucky to have practiced Ashtanga Yoga under the “yogi” Rebekah for 4 years. I would welcome the opportunity to be a “yogi” in her class again."  John Kent
  • "...ultimately shaping me with a better mind and body."
    "Rebekah is an amazing teacher with lots of variety. My flexibility and mobility have improved greatly since trying her Yin Fusion and other pose variations. My forward fold, balance etc was non existent until I starting following her flows. I love that her sequences challenge me and offers other variations for different levels. As a truck driver I find motivation to incorporate stretching throughout my day. Maybe I can work up to trying her pilates class someday. "

  • “Flowing, Smooth, Strong. You can Feel the Energy.  Rebekah is in the house!!"

    "I had the pleasure of experiencing Rebekah's step and kick box classes and miss them dearly. They say everyone excels at something and Rebekah excels in many areas, with this being her finest. She is a born leader and has enriched many lives with her training methods. I wish she was back in front of my classroom, but realize that is being selfish, and there are many people out there who will be fortunate to have her help them reach their exercise goals." Paul J.
