On this episode I am excited to have an interview with my friend, fitness instructor and studio owner, Jeanine Parsons. We talk about how she came to work in the fitness industry, what led her to open her own fitness studio and how joining a fitness studio can help you reach your fitness goals and have fun working out.
Before we get to our interview I will share how I keep myself moving and grooving and working out on a regular basis.
We will end our episode with a Drop of Zen (a short guided meditation). I will guide you through a mediation on cultivating self compassion.

Jeanine's Bio: Jeanine Parsons lives in Newtown, CT with her husband Jim and their four children. Jeanine was a former professional dancer who trained as a fitness instructor after starting her family.
Some of the fitness classes Jeanine has taught include: Body Pump, P90X, Insanity, Pilates, TRX and Boot Camp. After taking her first Barre class Jeanine was hooked and knew this was what she was looking for -- a way to incorporate dance, Pilates, and yoga into a fitness program that helps others build long, lean, beautiful muscles.
After receiving her certification in Barre, Jeanine began pursuing her dream: To open the very best Barre studio in Newtown, CT! Barre Boutique, is centrally located on Route 25 (Main Street) and is a warm, inviting, and welcoming space.
