Emma GrahamEmma Graham is a Junior from Los Angeles, CA double majoring in the COL and Classical Civilizations with a minor in Art History (and also taking mirror selfies). She got her AFAA Primary Group Exercise certification in 2017 to help her friends sweat it out, feel super strong, and have a blast.

Mary JohnsonMary Johnson is a sophomore from Washington, D.C. studying French and data analysis. She was thrilled when she discovered Zumba a year ago and found the perfect way to combine her love of dance and exercise. Mary completed her Zumba Basic 1 training over the summer and is very excited to be teaching at WesBAM for the first time. While first and foremost her goal is to help everyone have a great time while getting a great workout, she designs her routines with an emphasis on preventing injury and excessive stress on the joints, particularly the ankles. When she's not working on her Zumba form a.k.a. having dance parties in her room, she can be found drinking tea and searching for puppies to cuddle with.

Harrison NirHarrison Nir is a junior from Westchester, New York. He is studying Music and Anthropology at Wesleyan, interested in how cultural wisdom--in the form of memory and lineage--is expressed. Practicing yoga and meditation casually throughout high school, he discovered his passion and aptitude for teaching in the Spring of 2017 while participating in a 200-hour Gaiatri Yoga teacher-training. Harrison’s approach focuses on the boundaries of body and mind, fusing together meditative focus and breathe work with the invigorating and strengthening movements of Hatha Yoga. With his classes, Harrison intends to develop one community of all degrees of experience. His classes are open to all that are open to it (even if just slightly ajar).
