ITALY PADILLA

I've had a love for movement from a young age, which later evolved into a professional career in ballet and contemporary dance. After receiving my Bachelors Degree in Dance and Fine Arts, I was introduced to a staple in the Seattle fitness scene: Pure Barre. This empowering workout, with its fiery elegance and an immense focus on strength, was exactly the type of exercise that I was looking for. Before long, I became healthily addicted and discovered my passion for sharing the power of barre.

 

I realized that I could channel my love for performing and dancing into teaching, so I followed the rigorous Pure Barre training in 2012, to become a certified barre-instructor. My love for teaching kept growing, as I expanded my training and education with a 200hr Yoga Teacher Training through Frog Lotus Yoga in Bali, in 2014. Yoga, for me, is now an equally important portal for exploring mindfulness, creativity, and dynamic movement.

 

So much of my joy in teaching comes from the ability to connect with each student and allow them to experience personal results. From my classes, you can expect me to help you push your excuses to the side, develop a new inner confidence - confirming that you are in fact a badass.

Now, let's get sweaty.
