Jody Kahlich
Health & Wellness Coordinator
BSSD & GVSD
I absolutely love group exercise and wellness education. I’ve been a licensed Zumba instructor since 2019. Since then, I’ve been certified in Mixxed Fit, Primary Mat Pilates, Group Fitness Instructing, CIRCL Mobility, and in 2023 completed a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training through Megan’s Yoga Tribe.
When I first tried Zumba, I couldn’t stop smiling during my first class. I may have been laughing at myself, but I really needed to smile and laugh more; so I went back. After about 4 classes, I started to understand that Zumba isn’t about doing the steps right. It is entirely about moving our amazing bodies, listening to some great music, and building real friendships week after week. Once I escaped my head, I learned to set myself free through movement and I’m so THANKFUL that I did.
I carry this intentional high vibing, set yourself free, and more self love attitude through all of my group fitness classes.
I’m a wife, mother of two, daughter, friend, and fitness enthusiast; just doing the best that I can and that is enough.
