My name is Carola Stephens and I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and a 500 hour Certified Yoga Teacher. My small business is called Grounding Fitness because I believe that you first need to work on your foundation (posture) first. Imbalances in muscles occur when our posture is off by repetitive movement or prior injury. My focus is to empower women to feel strong by finding movement, health, and wellness. Finding time for yourself is important! You can't help others or be the best that you can be by having an empty cup. Self-care is important! All levels welcomed, especially beginners. I offer 1:1 Personal Training or yoga (at my home gym or client's). I also offer group yoga. Email or call if interested.

Starting them a little later meant nothing, so I calmed down and got to work!… Continue reading 2023 Goals

Goodbye and Hello!

May 6, 2022April 8, 2024 Carola Stephens

It’s been a long journey that led me to this. I am excited to help my clients get stronger and feel great! I tend to be a shy person, but am going against my comfort zone and putting myself out there because I want to help people. I always knew that helping and teaching were my calling, I just didn’t know how. Therefore, even though I still crochet and practice yoga, it is a goodbye to Slipstitch and Mantras and hello to Grounding Fitness!!
