Wendy has been Belly Dancing since 2002, and is also a member of Troupe Shakti, performing under the stage name of Safaana. In addition to providing a great low impact workout in her Belly Dancing Classes, what Wendy really enjoys is bringing out the goddess in all of her students by helping them to rise above their fear of dancing while becoming more confident as women. Her class environment is playful and light hearted with an emphasis on keeping things uplifting and fun.

Wendy has been teaching Reformer Pilates since June 2005, and has received certifications in Reformer 1 and 2, Mat 1, and the Gravity Training System. She has a broad range of experience with different type of equipment (reformer, bosu, wundra chair), as well as experience with teaching students at different fitness levels.

Her main focus is on core strengthening and stability while striving to provide a well-rounded program including cardio, strength training, flexibility, balance, posture, and breathing. It is important to Wendy to consider her client’s goals, needs, strengths, weaknesses, and injuries if any.
