Pam Kupersmith

Originally from New Hampshire, I’m married and have one son.

I have had a personal interest in physical fitness my whole life.  I played a variety of sports throughout high school and college, including field hockey and softball.  I’ve competed in bodybuilding competitions and have stayed active playing volleyball, biking, and running in local 5-10K races.

In my own interest to stay healthy and fit, I developed an interest to help others do the same.  I became a certified personal trainer and a group exercise instructor to help guide and motivate individuals towards achieving their unique fitness goals.

Exercise enhances every aspect of physical and mental well-being. 

My hope is to encourage and challenge our boot-campers to feel stronger and more confident with every session.

I am married to the most wonderful man in the world and we have 4 fabulous children! I am a graduate of The University of South Alabama with a degree in Communications. After being a competitive gymnast for 14 years of my life and dealing with major injury, and the up and downs with weight just to make it in the industry, I knew it was my life’s goal to learn how to become more healthy inside and out.

After having my first baby, I knew I wanted to stay at home with my children, but still wanted to have a career too, so I became certified to teach aerobics, and from there, started to learn how to become healthy through eating right and exercise. Then, I found my true savior!! Yoga and Pilates! Not only would you look great and be health on the outside, but it would transform you on the inside too and start to heal your ailments! It just doesn’t get better than that, and how blessed am I that I get to share that with others and hopefully help them feel better too. I have been teaching for past 8 years now and hope to continue learning and sharing as long as I am able!

Deana Calametti Seibert

I am not naturally lean and fit! I struggle to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I was not born neither athletic or thin! I am a real person, discipline and repetition are my friends....

In my early Twenties I found the pounds piling on more and more after each of my 3 pregnancies. Despite the fact that I was married to a long time fitness professional and executive director of the YMCA, my weight had reached nearly 200 pounds. Shortly after my 30th birthday and the birth of my last child, my children's and my life were forever changed by the sudden and tragic death of my husband and best friend of 14 years. I was left alone, and expected to now raise and provide for my young family. Needless to say, I was lost.

I began turning to fitness frankly because the gym offered childcare and it was often the only time I had alone. Weight stared falling off. I was slowly becoming stronger both physically and mentally. I now needed to somehow begin to generate an income for my family! A very dear friend of my late husband kindly offered me a job for a few hours weekly monitoring the weight room at the YMCA. Thus began my career and passion for fitness.

Sixty pounds leaner, a wonderful new husband and family...my life has found new meaning and purpose. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined myself a fitness professional. Helping others reach their goals helps me achieve my own. I can truly say I have the best job in the world!

I am now an AFFA certified instructor, as well as hold certification's in restorative yoga, Silver Sneakers, Spinning, Aqua Hip & Hop, CPR, YMCA Group Fitness and YMCA Healthy Lifestyles Practices.

I look forward to working with you.

Nadine Dalati

Nadine has had a burning desire to travel the world since graduating high school. Coming from a family that is scattered around this huge world, Nadine has always been open to seeing as much as possible, as soon as possible.

Her love of yoga began in college when she started taking classes at Synergy with Jane, a lovely lady from Chicago. Jane's energy and positivity for life was such an encouraging force in creating a weekly yoga routine at Synergy that Nadine kept coming back for more. Nadine did not realize her gift for yoga until one day near the end of her college career when, at a small studio in Atlanta, she was commended on her practice by a well-known Yogini and encouraged to dig deeper into the world of asana. She was flattered, but she continued in her college studies, letting life get in the way of the yoga practice she had once cherished.

After graduating from Spring Hill College, Nadine was on her usual road trip to New Orleans when she wrecked badly on I-10, fracturing her spine in 4 places. This event, though painful and difficult, gave her the chance to finally rest and evaluate her life. By 2008, she had physically healed from her wreck and was ready to find her path.

After travelling for a while, she came to the realization that she wanted something more than the computers she had studied in college: she wanted to feel life in her career and help people. Turning to her old love of yoga, her main attention was on Ashtanga under the education of Baron Baptiste, one of the most powerfully uplifting practices she has ever encountered. She practiced day and night, drenching herself in yoga, in an effort to CLEANSE herself of everything else she had invited in.

Now 25, Nadine has discovered the happiness she has been seeking here in Mobile by teaching yoga full time at several studios around town, including Quiet Mind and Synergy. Ever on the go, Nadine also teaches at the Moorer YMCA and a weekly yoga class at Serda's Coffee. During the school semester, she even instructs a yoga class at Spring Hill College's recreational center. Nadine has been working to obtain her yoga teacher training studying under the skillful instruction of Melanie Buffett of Yoga Birds.

Angela Cain

Yoga Instructor

I am from Mobile, AL lived all across the states and overseas.  Murphy High graduate and I hold a degree in International Studies from the University of South Carolina.  Curiosity, brought me to yoga.  I have always been an active person in my life, running, aerobics, weights, playing soccer in high school and college.  What else could I do?  My first class was at Lotus Seed Yoga with Stone and I was blown away at what was going on in my body.  From that point I was hooked and learned  yoga soothes the nervous system, and can ease anxiety and depression and transform the physical body.  I have been blessed to have Chris McFadyen and Nadia Jenkins as my teachers here in Mobile, they have been instrumental as my guides as I continue to discover what yoga is to me and how to share this discipline.   In 2005 I began my training with Baron Baptiste.  I have also completed  teacher trainings with Core Power Yoga in Colorado,  Doug Swenson, and workshops with Bryan Kest, Yoga Fit for Prenatal  and Childrens Yoga.  I am currently an associate Baptiste Power Vinyasa teacher and have completed the necessary trainings with Baron Baptiste Level I  in Hawaii, Level II in Austin, Texas, Assistant Training in Cambridge , MA, and all day personal revolution and will be attending the Baptiste Immersion in Estes Park, CO in September 2011.  I am currently in the process of completing necessary qualifications to become a certified Baptiste teacher.  I am constantly growing as a teacher spiritually and personally!  The Baptiste style speaks volumes to me.  My class is a physically dynamic and a powerful class  mixed  with compassion. Yoga is a language the body understands and will translate into the daily life.  We all faces challenges in life, how will we handle them?  Will we suffer through or will we bring balance, acceptance, and power to the situation, yoga can begin to develop that discipline.  offer yoga to whoever crosses my path; to go on a journey with me during my classes; to find freedom in the body and freedom in your heart and soul.  To explore the possibility of living a powerful life living your dreams and living big!
