olivia anselmo
Olivia has been practicing yoga since 2002. Her interest in yoga began with a physical practice when she was looking for a way to move her body and feel good. She never expected that it would change her life! It took only 6 months after beginning her practice for her to make plans to become a teacher. Olivia has completed the 500-hour Bikram teacher training and 200-hour Vinyasa training, along with numerous continuing education courses. Beyond the physical, Olivia has devoted herself to the entire art and science of yoga. She is most interested in how the ancient teachings and philosophies apply to modern living.
shakiem evans
Shakiem has been performing professionally since the age of nine as an actor, dancer, and singer on Broadway, film, and television. While touring across the USA, Shakiem started practicing yoga to protect his body from the physical demands of dancing.
Shakiem took his first HOT HIIT® class at Bode NYC and fell in love with the movement. He found HOT HIIT® to be a great compliment to his yoga practice. He noticed that with the strong core he developed from HOT HIIT® classes, his yoga asanas were improving greatly. Shakiem knew he wanted to share this very special movement with as many people as he could. He became certified in HOT HIIT® at one of the very first trainings at Bode NYC, and has been teaching full time ever since.
