Training Services Offered

Hi, I am Anastasia Encarnacion, a personal and group trainer specializing in Mindful Functional Fitness, Pre and Post Rehab, and the Mature Exerciser. I created the AquaFit program for the Caliente Springs Physical Therapy Group and brought this program to Sonoma health clubs. I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, AEA Certified Aquatic Exercise Instructor and Aquatic Personal Trainer, Arthritis Foundation Aquatic Program Leader, Specialty certificates in: Sports Nutrition and Body Composition, Pilates Mat and Basic Equipment (Reformer (+Box), Chair, Cadillac, Mat + Springs), ATRI BackHab, Ai Chi level 1, FallProof!, Kettlebells, Group Strength Training, Brains and Balance Past 60, Strength and Conditioning for Seniors Consultant, plus hundreds of hours of continuing education for 40 years. Ever curious about how the body works or becomes dysfunctional,

I spend many hours in research on the important exercise and fitness science behind: correct posture and gait mechanics, balance, flexibility, how proper breath technique can positively affect your workout and mind, the whys and how’s of pre-habilitation, especially before planned medical procedures, and why it is imperative to integrate the body back into healthy movement patterns after rehabilitation in order to transition to a fully functional life, etc. I have been a group land exercise instructor for 40 years and certified water exercise instructor for 22. Becoming a NASM certified personal trainer and mat Pilates instructor in 2008 gave me the ability to concentrate more deeply with the client on their individual training programs and correct movement technique, especially as it applies to their everyday functional needs.

Whether on the land, in the water, or a combination thereof, I offer safe, effective exercise programs in an encouraging and supportive learning environment to make your life all quality time!
