As a firm believer of preventative medicine through movement, my journey with activity and dance started in 2015.
I found Zumba fitness in 2015 while I was living in Costa Rica. I had such a strong connection with the movement & pure joy of this format that I knew I wanted to become an instructor.
I have been in the health and wellness space for 8 + years, teaching Zumba, STRONG Nation, Kinetic K’motion, Bootcamp classes and my own Choreography classes focusing on women empowerment.
As owner & operator of Pura Vida Studio, I invite you to come teach a class and share your offering with the community!

Dancing has always been something that brings joy to my life. I am that crazy person that will dance through a department store, twirl around in the kitchen while cooking, or even groove in my seat in the car or at work. Something that so easily brings a smile to your face should always be done without thought, and I practice that notion frequently. I hope to motivate all those interested in or already in love with this awesome program! I am licensed in Zumba® Basic 1, and I cannot wait to pass my love of this awesome fitness program to more people!

Hey everyone! My name is Karissa Gordon. I’m a native Montanan who has been in the fitness community for over 10 years. Although I’ve always been active, working out often felt like an obligation or chore until I found group fitness. I love the fun, connection, and confidence that comes from spending time moving and working out with others. I firmly believe that a body in motion stays in motion, so why not make it as enjoyable as possible?
Dance has always been my happy place. It’s an hour of freedom that meets me where I’m at and leaves me sweaty, smiling, and empowered. Shine Dance Fitness is rooted in the belief that mental and physical health go hand in hand. So, whether you dream of channeling your inner Beyonce, are looking to build strength/cardio health, or want to connect with others in your community, this workout has you covered!
There is zero experience required for this hour of fun. So grab a buddy and put on your stretchy pants! I can’t wait to show you why these classes are the best parts of the week! :)

My yoga journey started in 2018, when I needed a healthier outlet to heal from past trauma. I had practiced yoga once or twice before that, but this was a new step, a life changing one.
Immediately after receiving my bachelor's in psychology, my dad passed away in 2017, leaving me to cope in unhealthy ways. In 2018 my friend dragged me to a Kundalini Yoga class, and I will never forget it. I knew that I wanted to share yoga! Since then, I have received multiple fitness certifications, 200 HR YTT, and Yin Yoga! I’ve taught multiple styles/formats of health and fitness; water aerobics, cycling, senior fitness, boot camp, personal training, and yoga.
My plan is to continue my education with a 500 HR YTT and a Masters in Trauma Informed Systemic Therapy.
My classes offered at the studio are a mix of a Hatha and a Yin flow. Put together, I call it a Slow Flow. The classes start with a slow gentle warm up, working the way up to standing, flowing with the breath, then working its way down for a meditative Yin practice. This class will give you a beautiful night sleep!
