Experience Matters
I started teaching fitness classes when I was 16 — and, for 40 years, I have continued sharing my passion for fitness and my expertise. I have earned many different national fitness certifications, which all help me better serve my students.  As a yoga teacher for more than 30 years, I have been certified through two different yoga schools.  In addition, I  earned my MFA in Dance and performed with modern dance companies in Chicago and Minneapolis.  With my more than 40 years' experience as a teacher of movement, I have a lot to offer my students.  All of my education and experience gives me unique perspective on the body's optimal health, expression and alignment.

Testimonials

"​I have been taking yoga classes with Ronna for almost 18 years! She is by far the best teacher I have worked with. Her classes are like a journey and they always leave you in a better place. She is knowledgeable about yoga and the mechanics of the body and is filled with a contagious kind heart. I am looking forward to checking out her other class offerings as well."

"I am so grateful to have started my yoga practice under Ronna’s guidance. As a beginner, Ronna made me feel welcome, comfortable, and confident in her classes.  Over time, Ronna has helped me to advance my practice. She offers several variations for poses throughout her classes and truly helps each student meet their individual needs. It is clear that she cares for each person in class and truly wants everyone to reach their own goals."

"Fitness Barre is a challenging blend of pilates, yoga, barre, and some free weight training.  I was a complete beginner, but Ronna is able to give options to adapt for all levels.  After about six weeks of doing Fitness Barre once a week, I noticed that my creaky knees have improved.  I have also noticed that I unconsciously incorporate the barre movements when reaching into my cupboards to grab dishes or put them away.
Core Strength is a dynamic class that packs a lot into a 45 minute session.  It is a challenging class for all levels, but Ronna offers options to adapt for beginner to advanced.  I thought my regular yoga practice had already made my core strong, but Core Fit helped me get reacquainted with some core muscles I hadn’t visited in a while.   After about 4 weeks, I was excited to notice that I was making progress.  I recommend this class to anyone."
