It was a pleasure having the opportunity to be in Calleja’s classes the past few months. Her patient assistance explaining how to engage specific muscles when I was struggling to keep form and suggesting modifications when needed helped to allay frustration. I very much appreciated the clear instructions Calleja gave and the pace she set made for enjoyable classes that were both challenging and fulfilling. Each class was interesting as new moves built on those previously used and results were clearly manifested in increased strength, stamina and energy levels. Other facets of Calleja’s instruction that are very much appreciated include her calm demeanor and ability to set a positive, encouraging tone for the class, selecting music that had a helpful tempo but was not overpowering, speaking audibly without intimidating, as well as building confidence and enthusiasm in her pupils. This truly shows more than just technical proficiency, teaching is an art in which Calleja excels and her instruction will be very much missed!
