Teaching allows me to do one of my favorite things which is dancing. I love to dance and I love to see the joy dancing brings to people. While I consider myself a novice in the world of Zumba teaching I try to bring all of my good energy to the classes I teach. So I encourage my participants to enjoy, embrace, and embark on this Zumba Journey with me and as they say in Zumba “meet me on the dance floor"

Hi My Name is Karen Yeagins and fitness my biggest passion. I started my journey with just going to the gym to workout not even knowing that this would be my true love. I was so taken and amazed with the way the body functioned, I wanted to take it a step further. I took the next step to becoming a certified personal trainer and received my certification over 6 years ago. In my time of training I’ve learned a lot. I’ve also made mistakes, which are life's best teacher because you learn where you need improvement. The main reason I’ve continued to dedicate all of my energy and focus on personal training is because I am aware of how it has changed my life and I want that for my clients as well. I love helping people on their fitness journey and guiding them along the way reaching their fitness goals. It brings me joy to bring them into a healthy lifestyle.
