Rhea Morales’s Story

Growing up in The Philippines, Australia, and Los Angeles, Rhea Morales learned health and fitness techniques all over the world and incorporates what she learned in her classes today.

Inspired to overcome her own weight-loss issues as a teen, Rhea began by joining a gym and took on cross-country running. She went from being the chubby kid, to becoming someone who could run three-mile courses. This changed her life. You can read more about this journey here:

In 1997, Rhea moved to New York and was introduced to many mind-body movement practices, such as the Alexander Technique, Pilates, and both Ashtanga and Jivamukti yoga. This new perspective on fitness included muscle balance and preventative techniques to avoid injuries, release tension, reduce stress and help improve communication between mind and body.

After giving birth to her son, she moved back to LA and focused on learning alternative health practices to address her son’s food allergies and spinal strengthening for her bad back (now healed). These experiences intensified her passion for healthy lifestyles. You can read about her journey with pain here:
