1. What are three words that best describe you?
- Passionate
- Energetic
- Life-long Learner

2. Tell us a bit about yourself: the true Diva.
I’m down to earth and love to laugh! I absolutely love teaching… it’s wonderful to help others express their inner diva while getting fit and having fun! I’m always interested in learning new things… recently I’ve been learning (and teaching) bhangra and belly dancing. For me, life is an exploration and although I may not have all the answers, I do my best to learn and be grateful.

3. How did you get into teaching dance/fitness?  Tell us about your experiences in the industry.
Dancing and staying active has always been a part of my life since I was little – I participated in recreational dancing and recital performances. However, as I became older, dancing wasn’t a priority. I focused on my career and dancing was limited to an occasional basis.  In effort to stay healthy, so I worked out to stay fit and eventually decided to become CanFit Pro certified. But working out in a gym is not the same as dancing! When I did get the time to dance, I felt fabulous! I had a smile on my face, felt more confident, energetic and happy!! Now if every woman felt fabulous, how great would that be? The answer to that question is what inspired me to start teaching. What I absolutely love about dance fitness is you can be active while getting all the benefits of dancing! It’s a unique combination that is fun, revitalizing and has you feel fabulous!

4. Why did you decide join DivaGirl?
It’s a great opportunity to connect with other women who are interested in being healthy and fabulous!  One really great way to be active and positive is to surround yourself with active and positive people… that is what the DivaGirl Community helps bring alive!

5. Tell us a bit about the classes/workshops that you offer to the DivaGirl Community.
I offer Zumba, Strip to Fit, Bootcamp, Chair Dancing,  Corporate classes and events, Bachelorette parties and Personal Healthy Life Coaching and Classes.

6. Why should women attend your DivaGirl classes/workshops?
My goal is to have you get the most out of working out! No matter your level of fitness or dance, I offer several options and tips to help women feel fabulous during class. It’s almost like getting the attention a true diva deserves… all while having fun!

7. What constitutes you as a Diva?
I love shoes…. Need I say more??

8. What are your top three tips to help women get fit, have fun and feel sexy?
Find a structure that works for you!! Whether it’s scheduling a fitness class as a vital appointment in your calendars, or having a friend to go with to class or having a personal instructor to help motivate you… whatever it is!  Once you pick a structure, make sure you stick with it… having integrity is key!  And lastly, set yourself up for success by setting goals and having fun with it! Is it the end of the world if you don’t go to your workout class? No… but it’s a heck of an achievement if you do – and you should treat yourself once you achieve your fitness goals!  Find something that motivates you…a trip, new clothes, or fun shoes… and treat yourself as a big thank you to you!  

 

9. Are there any upcoming workshops/events/projects that you are working on, that you would like to share to the DivaGirl community?
- Valentines Sexy Chair Dance in Brampton, Toronto and Woodbridge!
- Summer Kids Health Camp in Brampton and Oakville!
- “Xpress Yourself: Health, Body and Self” Workshops in the summer!

10. Final comments?
One of my favourite quotes, Mahatma Gandhi said “Be the change you want to see in the world”.  I want our community to be healthy, happy and in love with life!  And I’m helping to make that happen!

The Shocking Truth About Men

DivaGirl is proud to introduce Christine Hart, Owner of Your Date Coach, as a new DivaGirl Contributor to our Wellness Corner.  Christine is a dating expert, gender communication specialist and relationship coach and is excited to share her knowledge to the DivaGirl community!

Why are some men so guarded from saying “I love you?”

You may be the type of person who is free with your “I love you’s”. You say it to a friend after meeting them for a coffee or to your cousin every time you hang up the phone with her. Alternatively, you may be the type of person who is very selective with your “I love you’s” – you reserve them for just the right time in a romantic setting or only for your mother on Mother’s Day and even then it is only in a card. You may find you are somewhere in between the two.

Whichever type you are, both men and women have their own personal reasons for using or avoiding these 3 words in their everyday lives.

Speaking specifically about relationships and dating though, there is often a lot of pressure for a woman to hear “I love you” from a man. It’s often not intentional pressure but a woman tends to determine exactly where she stands and where this relationship is going based solely on these three words.

It is not the same for men. They do not have the same relationship with the words “I Love You” as women do.

In a recent Pax workshop, a woman posed the question “Why can’t they just say ‘I Love You’?” A man replied, “Because it means more than that.” When a man is in love, it is very intense for him. Encapsulating these feelings into 3 simple, basic words doesn’t really make sense to him. It can almost be insulting to him because the depth of his feelings are much deeper than three words.

Sometimes the conversation can go like this:

Woman: “How do you feel about me?”

Man: pause, thinking, pause, maybe the first time he has considered it, pause, thinking

Woman: (in her head thinking about all the good or bad things that could come out of his mouth at this very moment and it seems like an eternity)

Man: “I care about you.”

Woman: “What the heck?! You CARE about me? What does that mean?!! I think we should end this right now because you obviously don’t feel the same way.”

Man: Speechless and mystified.

You see “I care about you” to a man has the same weight as “I love you” does for a woman. The problem is when a woman is breaking up with a man, she will often say “I care about you BUT……” and usually it’s followed with some bs line. This is why when sometimes when a woman hears “I care about you” from a man, she’ll immediately question if it’s bs.

When men were asked in the workshop what “I care about you” means when they say it, the men had these responses:

“It means you are the centre of my world.”
“It means everything I do, I do for you.”
“It means I would do anything for you, including die for you.”

Let me know, leave your comments below.

I would say that sounds a lot like the feelings behind the words “I love you”, wouldn’t you?

Live Love,
Christine

What’s Your Map for 2011?

With January upon us, most of us are thinking, once again, about tackling our own goblins–all the things we want to change and improve on, with few of us realizing how to actually get where we want! Instead, we get stuck in the past, remembering our failures, focusing on our misfortunes, blinded by our fear. We have no plan . . . we have no map.

The truth is, if wanting was enough, we’d all have it–that dream job, perfect health, and soul mate relationship! If wanting was enough, we’d all have that great body, spiritual bliss, and financial independence!

. . . But wanting isn’t enough!

On Monday, January 17th, join my good friends–best-selling Hay House authors, Colette Baron-Reid and Crystal Andrus–for a free 90-minute life-changing conversation that will outline “The Map” that you must create in order to live the life you truly desire!

Both Crystal and Colette have overcome obstacles that would leave most feeling victimized and small and yet, both of these courageous women have transcended their journeys into personal greatness.

Make this the year that you finally get what you want!
