Hi Charlene,

 Thank you for the amazing courses and motivation.  To this date the first CALA course I took in 2003 (I think that was the year)  is my favourite fitness course I have ever taken, and was the one thing that really got me inboard and excited about fitness education and instructing - Thank you for designing such a great course. 

I am thinking about taking the Aqua Infused Yoga in January in Ottawa- is it for cooler pools too? Yes you can modify as required for recreational pools.

"Hi Karl....before we get too far away from the event, I just wanted to tell you what a pleasure it was to meet you and how much I enjoyed your presentations. I especially appreciated your expertise, your passion and your approachability :)

I think that you managed to inspire quite a few people.....I'm hearing of several classes where the non-verbal cueing was used last week. The instructors were quite impressed....seems like that was something new for most of them to consider !

I meant it when I asked if you'd come back to Winnipeg....and I'd welcome any suggestions that you might have for future workshops.

So thanks again....you were just what the doctor ordered. Looking forward to a next time !"

Mentoring is give from the heart by current instructors to help new instructors as they start their journey towards becoming CALA certified. Mentoring does not end once Instructors are certified.

As an Alliance the instructors can turn to fellow instructors for guidance and answers to their questions. Together CALA is strong because of the Alliance relationship.
