Bio:
Dance back into shape with the best little partner of all — your baby! With little ones snuggled into baby carriers, new moms learn basic steps to popular Latin dances, while babies shake maracas and bounce around to the Latin beat. Salsa Babies offers a great workout, and chance to socialize with other moms (mamacitas) and an opportunity to introduce one’s child to music and movement. Not to mention, it’s perfect for people who have always wanted to learn to dance, but could never convince their partner to take lessons!
With the birth of her son Ayden in 2004, came the birth of her business, Runners and Booties Fitness www.runnersandbootiesfitness.com, a business geared at moms seeking both social interaction and a regular fitness regime. The concept was an instant hit, allowing women to interact with other moms and their babies, while simultaneously doing their bodies a favour. With a passion for fitness and previous background in dancing, Lara was excited with the opportunity to bring Salsa Babies to Vancouver and provide moms with even more options for getting in shape after baby.

Bio:
I was first introduced to Yoga in 1988, and over the years my love of Yoga has continued to grow. In 2003 I became certified in teaching Prenatal Yoga with Janice Clarfield, and then completed a 5 month Classical Hatha Yoga Teacher Training course at the Prana Yoga and Zen Centre in Vancouver, under the influence of Shakti Mhi and Bernie Clark. My studies included asanas, pranayama, history and philosophy of Yoga, anatomy and theory, voice and communication, 5 Tibetans, energy centres in the body, Kriyas, and building flows. I completed the Anatomy for Healers course at Langara College with Earl Core, and the Labour Support for Doulas course at Douglas College. I am a member of the Doula Services Association, and was an active Birthing Doula, attending births at B.C. Women's, St.Paul's and Royal Columbian Hospitals from 2002-2005. I studied Kids Yoga (levels 1 & 2) with Maalaa Lazar of the Yoga Tree, and have taken various workshops with many inspiring Teachers of different styles and backgrounds, both local and International. Some of them include: Jason Crandell, Sadie Nardini, Sarah Powers, Rodney Yee, Sara Ivanhoe, Martin Kirk, and Maria Garre.
