My name is Christina Breault and I am a dance instructor at Marr Mac Dance and Theatre Arts Centre. I have been part of the Marr Mac family for 27 years.

Ingrid Bredt
Panther Gym
Hi, my name is Ingrid and I have recently had the privilege of becoming an Ambassador for Lululemon! I am 48 years old and quite proud of that as I am probably in the best shape of my life! I have exercised through out my whole life yet 4 years ago I decided to give boxing a try and discovered a whole new passion!

Melissa Wasserfall
My journey into yoga started as a child,often accompanying my mother to her weekly hatha yoga classes.I remember B.K.S Iyengar's "Light on Yoga" being on our bookshelf and I would often look at this crazy guy in these seemingly impossible positions!I became a semi professional figure skater,and after ending that career at age 14,I had a 4 year hiatus before returning to yoga at age 18.However I could not find a type of yoga at that point that satisfied me and I drifted away again...In my early twenties the voice of our family doctor came back to haunt me.I had broken two neck vertebrae at 11 years old and he had told me that I would probably be in wheelchair and have arthritis by the time I was 25.I've never been one to put a lot of faith in doom stories but I decided to start taking full...
