My Healthy Vacation at Anamaya

February 18th, 2013

Interview with Zumba teachers Cristiane Machado and Leah Short

January 4th, 2011

When I was at Anamaya in September 2010 I had the great joy of taking my first Zumba class with Anamaya staff Leah Short, and then to participate in Cristiane’s exhuberant classes during the Zumba retreat. We all sat down on the rocks in Montezuma’s town beach and got to the heart of their passion for teaching Zumba.

H: So you’re both Zumba instructors. Why do you love Zumba?

L: I love Zumba because it’s an opportunity for people to not…
