Join us for Kickboxing with Aida Mondays at 10 AM
My name is Aida Osborne and I live in the City of Chino Hills.
I have been a fitness instructor for almost 20 years; being an instructor has been one of the most fulfilling yet humbling accomplishments I have had.
The class features moves from karate, taekwondo, boxing and a little bit of muay thai. Kickboxing is my favorite class to teach at all time. I love and what I do and passionate about it.
There have been so many fun moments but there’s one unforgettable moments that stand out; during class at 24 Hour Fitness, I saw Catherine Lugo who has Down Syndrome at the back of my class. I then pulled her in front of the class and her face glowed with excitement; she became the star of the class and I gained a great friend.

Join us virtually on Wednesdays from 6-6:45pm for Zoom Yoga with Molly and Eliza.
Molly and Eliza have been practicing yoga together for more than twenty years--beginning before Eliza was even born! Molly has been working over the last six months to complete her yoga teacher training. She and Eliza will teach the class together and hope many IVDSA friends and family will join each week.
This class will focus on gentle movement, mindfulness, balance, and stress release. Calming benefits will follow you well beyond your yoga mat.
When participating at home it's important to have a safe and uncluttered space to practice in. A mat is nice but not required. In most classes we will use a chair as our prop to assist us in our postures. This will be a gentle slower paced class, combining motion and stretching.
