Rhia

Rhia's movement practice started in dance and yoga, and shifted towards strength training in 2015.

Her intention is for students to walk away not only feeling good and more "at home" in their bodies, but also feeling more confident, in control of their wellbeing, resilient, and having better tools in their "toolbox" to increase their quality of life. 

Rhia's studies/continuing education include:

ACE personal training program, certified Functional Range Conditioning mobility specialist (FRCms), Functional Range Assessment specialist (FRAs), Functional range release (Spine course), the Integrated Kinetic Neurology approach, E-RYT, RPYT, certified in Thai yoga therapy, behavioral change specialist with ACE, courses with the Postural Restoration Institute, and a BA in Anthropology from the American University. 

Rhia also dances professionally in the Baltimore/DC metro area and specializes in dances from the MENAT region (mid-east, north Africa & Turkey). She has weekly public performances and occasionally private events. 

Rhia continues to geek out over developing science, as well as, & with respect to, traditional healing arts. She is a lifelong explorer of how movement can heal, build community, unite us, and help us reach our best selves.
