Liz Smith, Dip.cYs, Dip RSA, Freelance Yoga, Zumba and Exercise Instructor and Internal Verifier
In 1994, I took the basic qualification of RSA/YMCA Exercise to Music Instructor. I began with just four group aerobic and toning classes a week, working for the local county authority. Over subsequent years, I continued to develop my skills in advanced instruction, personal training, teacher training and assessment for the YMCA, Yoga instruction and most recently, Yoga therapy.
Now, as a freelance instructor, I currently teach around 10 classes a week in Yoga and Body Conditioning. These classes are taught mainly in local gyms and fitness clubs. In 2009 I qualified as a Yoga Therapist.
