Sarah has been practicing yoga for 7 years and recently completed her 200-hour teacher training certification over the Summer. She has practical experience using both yoga and meditation as tools in her journey of recovery and is passionate about sharing their benefits.

Amelia

PoundFit & Body Tone Instructor

Amelia O'Connor - PoundFit and Body Tone Instructor

Amelia recently received her 100 hour PoundFit instructor certification this January 2019. She was introduced to PoundFit at Wellstrong in 2018. She believes that the expressive movements in Poundfit, that are set to loud and energetic music has an empowering effect on people. The drumming of the ripstix is therapeutic for trauma relief and releasing any pent up emotion.

Body Tone gives members a chance to combine cardio and focus on small body toning, which creates mental change by focusing on intentional, slow movements.

Amelia believes that these are a great addition to those recovering from trauma and addiction. She is excited to embark on this teaching journey with Wellstrong and it’s wonderful members where everyone is recovering together.

Tucker Brown - Yoga Instructor

Michelle

Bootcamp Instructor

Michelle Rogers - Bootcamp Instructor

WellStrong Instructor Sarah Michelle is a Certified Group Fitness Instructor and Certified Boot Camp Instructor. She is also a runner and has competed in the Falmouth Road Race every year since 2004. She has been a fitness, nutrition and outdoor sports enthusiast her entire adult life. In 2017, she decided to share her passion for fitness and nutrition with others by becoming certified to teach group fitness classes. She loves to teach Boot Camp style or High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) classes because they are an entire body workout full of moves that work multiple muscles at once and therefore is a very efficient way to become fit and toned. Additionally, the intensity of the movements is instrumental in “rebooting” the brain thereby relieving stress, anxiety and depression.
