Teacher Tidbits Corner - Alicia Rivera
August/September 2022
Growing up Alicia was not much for organized fitness. She did not participate in any organized sports as a youth, and it wasn’t until reaching her 30’s that she saw the importance of exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle. One year she received a gift certificate for Christmas to attend an aerial yoga class. It took one class for her to realize that this needed to be a part of her fitness routine. While she enjoys a variety of different types of fitness, Aerial remains the constant. She has been practicing as a student at Aerial Fun and Fitness for the last 4 years and her growing interest has led her to get certified as an Aerial Technique TM aerial fitness instructor so she can teach and share her passion.
By trade Alicia is a Physical Therapist Assistant in which she has served the local community for the last 12 years. In her career Alicia has found passion in encouraging and challenging people of all ages to achieve activities they never imagined, and she now brings that drive to the Aerial Fitness world. Her knowledge of the human anatomy helps keep her students safe and challenges them to achieve their aerial fitness goals. Flips and tricks are Alicia’s go-to aerial moves to practice but no worries she can cater to all levels so that everyone can enjoy the fun!
