Rowena McMaster
Coming from the midwest, Rowena came to Nevada County over 20 years ago. She feels so blessed to call this area home. She enjoys the wonders of nature in our back yard with her husband and three kids, having easy access to hobbies she loves; hiking, camping, snowboarding, running, swimming, and cycling.
Rowena discovered her passion for fitness after a friend invited her to a pilates class in 2011. Pilates helped her feel empowered and in control in an unpredictable world. When training, she likes to match basic pilates principles of precise, concentrated breath work, alignment, and proper deep core engagement with strength training and conditioning.
Rowena loves that fitness is not just for physical wellness, but also for mental wellness. For her it is so rewarding to see her clients bloom and become stronger, happier, and surprise themselves with what they are capable of. She finds great joy when her clients report feeling more amazing and uplifted leaving the studio than when they came in.
