Hi! I’m Carla Tucson!
Welcome to my world of movement, music and joy.
It is my mission to keep people moving and tuning in to their bodies through training other’s to teach movement classes, helping to develop active aging programming, facilitating active classes, Parkinson’s classes, yoga, breath work and mindful movement and functional movement classes.
In addition to movement classes, I also sing and play ukulele in senior living facilities, small local venues and private gatherings.
My background is in Hatha Yoga and while I teach active yoga classes regularly (online and in person),, I have also specialized in teaching a variety of classes for elder students and those with more specific needs, these classes include :
*Parkinson’s Movement Classes,
*Non-Contact Boxing for women and seniors,
*Active seated movement classes,
*Modified Yoga,
*Chair Yoga,
*Beginning strengthening classes for women
and more!
I am a 200hr E-RYT (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher), PWR! Instructor, have experience as a RSB Coach (Rock Steady Boxing), I have my own fitness business and place teachers into assisted living and memory care facilities to facilitate movement classes
AND I have created a successful wellness program at a local healthcare non-profit in Tucson, Arizona for students of varying ages and abilities, creating a safe space for senior aged students with no diagnosis as well as those of a variety of ages and diagnosis including students with Parkinson’s, dementia, aphasia, and MCI (Mild Cognitive Decline).
I've been practicing yoga for 13 years, teaching yoga for 11 years, and teaching specialized movement for 10 years with a focus on providing classes for those with dementia, those living in independent living facilities and assisted living facilities and Parkinson's specific movement.
