Hello Everyone! In April 2011, I moved back to Buffalo, NY. Determined to continue my fitness career and personal growth, I have accepted a Management Position at Snap Fitness, alternating between the Orchard Park & East Aurora Locations. I will be in charge of designing, coordinating & managing our new Group Fitness Program at the Orchard Park, NY location. Yes everyone, I will teach a few of the classes myself in Pilates and Spinning and I will also be a sub/back up for our Yoga Instructor, Lizzi. I will keep everyone posted of the schedule as it grows. Please come on by Snap and workout with me, 24-7 access, 365 days a year! Yes y'all, you can even work out at 3am on Christmas Day, you will probably see me on the Arc Trainer then too, LOL!
I'm also working a second job at my other fave place, White House Black Market. So stop by and see me there on Friday and Saturday nites and Sundays during the day.
Finally a great big heart-felt thank you to all of my wonderful students & clients who attended my classes over the years. Honestly I think of all of you as my friends and your support means so much to me.
Namaste,
"Schelli" Annalise Stahlman

Power Yoga
Power yoga is a great total-body workout combing flexibilty, strength and flowing movements with sustained stretches. It is an eclectic blend of many styles of Yoga including Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, Power Vinyasa, Jivamukti, Kripalu (Discovery), along with the heat of Bikram. Sun Power classes at the Yoga Den are taught in a warm room ranging from 90-95 degrees F. to encourage detoxification and purification through sweating as well as keep the muscles warm to encourage safe healthy stretching. Modifications are always given for all levels from beginner to advanced. Remember there is no judgement and no competition in Yoga and you may always rest at any time. You can expect to burn between plenty of calories(calorie burn varies greatly from person to person depending on weight, sex, fitness level and a variety of factors).
Pilates
Pilates Mat classes are based on the work of Joseph H. Pilates, combining strength, flexibilty, and stability training focusing on the "Powerhouse" muscles - that is Abs, Glutes, Hips, and Back. Pilates is an excellent combination of a mind~body workout, calming the mind and relieving stress while giving your muscles a great challenge. Once exclusive to the dance community, today Pilates is available to everyone!
