Starting Them Young



This is Marianna at 16 months old performing an
incredible Kettlebell Deadlift technique!!

It shows how babies are pre-wired with beautiful movement skills and are designed with the perfect movement blueprint. Watching Marianna squat and deadlift is awesome and she so naturally understands how to move from her hips and keep her spine straight. I never had to teach her how to sit back on her heels or to keep her shins vertical. She already knew how to move well which proves to me that humans are designed to move perfectly. It is a lifetime of faulty movement patterns and lack of activity that pre-disposes people to injury, overuse injury and movement dysfunction. All you have to do is watch a baby squat, deadlift and breathe and you will see harmony, beauty and precision. God knows what He is doing!!!

I want the blog to be a place where people can ask questions, share ideas and give responses!

Kettlebells and Pregnancy














The greatest Journey of my life

….. and It has just started!

Are you pregnant? Or thinking of getting pregnant? Are you a trainer and is your client pregnant…. Now what?

I have been in the health and fitness industry my whole life and being fit and looking good has been necessary to keep my career moving forward. Who wants to train with a fat and unfit girl? When I found out that I was pregnant I was so happy yet nervous at the same time. Is my body going to be able to handle this? Could I workout? Should I? If I could, what type of exercises could I safely perform? How about the health of my baby?…

Yoana's 53 Lb. Snatches

After watching my husband PR in snatches with the BULLDOG (88 lber) I had to try setting a PR of my own with the 24kg. I have not been training with the 24kg, or even the 20kg or 16kg. Just being around all the strong competitors brought out the best in me!

Fun times!

Infant Swimming Resource (ISR)




I trained during my "entire" pregnancy and I am soooo happy I did because I had an amazing connection with Marianna. I can see how healthy and strong she already is!


Healthy Babies start with a Healthy Mom!!



Franz and I have been in the health and fitness industry our whole life and we want to expose Marianna to the best.


Because of that we took the decision to register her in swimming lessons as soon as it was possible. Yesterday she started an incredible swimming program, The Infant Swimming Resource (ISR).

ISR is a nationally recognized program that offers highly specialized private certified instruction for 6 months of age and up.

The idea behind Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) was born in 1966 when its founder, Dr. Harvey Barnett, was just 18 years old. As an active lifeguard with a passion for water safety, Barnett witnessed the tragic aftermath when a neighbor child drowned. At that moment, he vowed to do everything possible to ensure not one more child drowns.

ISR is a truly comprehensive infant swimming education and self-rescue skill instruction method that is well established in the fields of health care, psychology/behavioral sciences, anatomy and physiology.


Today was her second swimming session. Each lesson is for 10 minutes every day. The program could last between 3 to 8 weeks. Marianna is already doing great!!!! and her trainer couldn't be better. Bill Barham, a ISR Certified Instructor really knows his stuff.





Swimming improves babies and children’s development – physical, intelligence, language, emotional and social. Starting to swim early can help babies avoid traumatic experiences that some children go through when learning to swim. It familiarizes children with deep water and gives them the confidence to swim below the water level.

Kettlebell Classes in Carmel Valley Area, San Diego, California!


I had been working out in a traditional gym and seeing a personal trainer with minimal results prior to trying Yoana's kettlebell class. After the first class with her, I was hooked. Her workouts were just what I needed to challenge me, and they do every time! She changes the exercises and routines, so classes are never boring or repetitive, and I always look forward to them. Yoana really cares about her clients and her enthusiasm for what she does is extremely motivating. Since I started working out with kettlebells, I've noticed that my overall strength has increased, and I've also seen improvements in my running.

Yoana's classes are amazing, I doubt I'll ever go back to regular gym workouts!

Karyn - San Diego, CA


I have been trainng with Yoana in classes for almost two years. She is an inspirational leader who really knows her stuff. She can control a group of type A people, keep us on task and challenge each individual to reach and exceed their own goals. She is also a warm and caring individual and working out is always fun (but not too much!!)

Everyone loves to work out with Yoana!

Yoana is so energetic... What a great kettlebell coach! She keeps me pumped up thru the entire session, no matter how grueling the drills. Every routine is different-'Cross-Fit' style. It's never boring. Sometimes I don't know how I'll make it thru the whole session, but I feel sooo energized after it's over, like I could go run 10 miles. Kettlebell drills are so much fun!! I've only been training on kettlebells for one month, but with Yoana's superb technique & expert training skills, I already feel increased strength & vitality! With her physical therapy background & exceptional kettlebell skills, I feel confident that I will be safely & effectively trained to use kettlebells to my best advantage.

If you want to get strong & toned, try kettlebells with Yoana!
