Welcome to SHiNE Fitness with Candice Schutter. Candice has been teaching fitness and dance since 2001, and her ongoing classes and special events are about the contagion of joyous self-expression. When the mind and body feel free to express the truth of who you are, fitness just happens. Your hips shake, your spine undulates, your muscles power your will, and you can’t help but smile. Music is the powerful and essential lubricant for dance - offering an invitation for strength, flexibility, and magnificence in the body, heart, mind, and spirit. Out motto is: move towards what moves you. As a life coach, writer, AND dancer, everything Candice offers is intended to inspire and ignite each student’s unique and individual way of moving through life. After nearly a decade of teaching, she has become certain that movement is a vehicle for transformation on every level. Movement reminds us of the limitless pathways available, not only in the body – but in the heart and mind as well.
