Rosalia-chann-toesox Your workouts blend so many different ways to sweat! What’s your favorite combo? My workouts are rooted in Applied Functional Science. I use a mindful full-body approach and strategies based off of movement in 3 planes of motion to deliver the most effective and efficient workouts for my individual clients and group classes. Working in 3D creates a well-rounded physique and a way to elevate the longevity of the wellness and functionality of the body. I keep my classes moving by creating matrices out of movement and elevating the heart rate with light cardio. It doesn't look like you're doing much, but I assure you that you will feel challenged and work up a good sweat!

Now the leaders of the industry are uncovering what has been forgotten and creating 'one stop shops' where you can get it all.

Best piece of advice for women trying to find balance in life?

Care for yourself first! Everything begins from within, so if you take care of yourself/fuel yourself first, than you will have more to give and receive in return. For example, I have a 'must-do' routine in the morning for myself before I begin working with others. Once I started giving back and empowering myself first, other aspects of my life, including my work, have changed and flourished
