Lorinne, has been a certified Zumba instructor since Aug 2011 and loves teaching. When she first found Zumba in 2007, it was transformative, not just as a physical practice but as a personal practice that left her feeling strong, sexy, happy, and alive. This is what inspired her to begin leading her own Zumba classes, calling them “ZumbaMamis”.

As a longtime ACE-certified personal trainer she makes sure all moves are effective and safe, as well as fun and energizing using a fantastic selection of music with a variety of rhythms.

The hour includes a warm up, great interval training, a good cool down, and ends with a genuine head to toe stretch that will leave you totally blissed out.

Rachel has been a life-long student of the mind and body and how they  interact, studying philosophies of yoga, meditation and self-awareness,  and earning a B.S. in Psychology with a focus on Behavioral Neuroscience  Science at UNF in 2020.
