“Becoming an instructor was my cure to a severe Miami Carnival tabanca circa 2017 and renewed my love of soca music that had fizzled. Teaching Wukkout! opened up channels for me to meet other Caribbean fitness professionals, introduce my culture to people, exercise more regularly, and refresh my "Trini gyal" in New York experience. I just love it, and am so glad I took the leap to participate in the training, rehearse and finally teach Wukkout!”

“I have been an instructor with Wukkout! a little over a year now. Wukkout! is such a great organization to be a part of. The network of people are welcoming and fun and Krista is a great leader. She keeps you motivated and informed of opportunities to keep your skills sharp and gain exposure. #teamwukkout is also there to pump you up and keep you encouraged. It also keeps your weight down and energy up. I've been able to maintain my weight loss.”

As a former practicing social worker, my clinical training has been centered on group and family work. The idea of purposefully bringing people together to work through a common goal/shared interest is one of the most powerful therapeutic interventions. As a participant and currently a certified Wukkout!® Instructor, Krista embodies this idea. Wukkout’s foundation is about connection – connection with community, connection with your mind, body and soul and connection with music, specifically with soca. As an instructor I seek to bring these basic tenets to each class I facilitate. It is ingrained in every movement from the warm-up all the way to cool-down. You leave each class feeling connected. Connection is what we thrive on and Wukkout!® definitely delivers.
