How We’ll Move
Move your body at The Egg— an open air space overlooking the sea. Imagine a place where you can reconnect with your inner self and rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit surrounded by nature. Every morning starts with a workout to break a sweat and boost your energy! Every morning will start with a strength based circuit training class or a mat-based pilates workout to boost your energy and confidence, gain strength, and break a sweat! Every evening will end with a relaxing and invigorating yoga flow to release tension, unwind, and connect to the breath. All classes are accessible to all levels. There are both indoor and outdoor spaces for all classes. In between sessions we will stay active exploring the areas around us!
Brandon and Tiana will be your movement guides! Tiana started dancing at the age of 2 and developed a love for the body, movement, and exploration. She is passionate about finding joy in movement, creating balance inside and outside of the gym, and challenging her limits— and about showing others they can do the same. Brandon’s love of fitness started with track and field, competing in both high school and college and eventually becoming a coach. In his pursuit of physical strength, he strives to bring awareness and mindfulness to all athletic endeavors. They are certified personal trainers, yoga teachers, and life coaches.
