About Namas Dee

Hi!  I'm a Chicago native.  Grew up studying classical ballet and modern-jazz dance.  I've toured all over the US and Canada with Ukraina Folk Dance Ensemble.  Majored in Theater Arts Dance Performance at NIU.  Belonged to Northern Dance Theater, & Los Preferidos Spanish Dance Company.  In the 1990's, I performed in many musical theater productions around Chicago.  Have been teaching group exercise for 25 years.  Before COVID, I was teaching step aerobics, Les Mills Body Pump, CXWORX, Zumba, Pilates Mat, Vinyasa and Power yoga.

My current vision is to dedicate my life to the state of flow. Blue Collar Mind Body will contain, but won't be limited to the following:  Yoga & meditation, Tai Chi & Qi Gong, Pilates Mat, Zumba Gold, La Blast,  Vinyasa Yoga, Chair Yoga, Seated Tai Chi.  I hold certifications in Adult & Child CPR and AED,  AFAA Primary Group Exercise,  Stott Pilates Full Certification Level 2 for Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair and Barrels.   My yoga training involved YogaFit and  Corepower Yoga, (C1, C2, Hot Power Fusion, and Yoga Sculpt.)   Currently, I hold a Tai Chi & Qi Gong Certification through SCW, & am working on a certification to be a Taijifit instructor.  I believe that each person has all the resources they need to live a content and prosperous life. My philosophy is to live free of complacency, practice mindfulness, and show gratitude each and every day. Show up each morning and work towards your goals. Do things which make you happy and healthy. Most importantly: breathe, and have fun!

Thank you. See you soon.
