About Zumba Instructor Certification & Training
Why I Do What I Do
I’m Sahana, and I train future Zumba instructors across India. For me, it’s about more than just showing steps - it’s about building confidence, giving honest feedback, and helping you find your groove as a leader. Whether you’re brand new or a ZIN™ member looking to spice up your classes, I’ll walk beside you through the good, the awkward, and the sweaty.
What You’ll Get With Me
- Zumba Basic 1 instructor course: I break down the foundation - Merengue, Salsa, Cumbia, Reggaeton. You’ll learn how to cue, structure, and actually teach a class.
- Zumba rhythms training: For those with experience, I go deep into Brazilian Funk, Bhangra, Afrobeat, and Street Heat so your classes stand out.
- How to teach Zumba for kids: I show you how to make fitness fun for ages 4-11, whether you’re joining in-person or online.
My Mentorship Style
I keep it real. I’ll help you stay visible, work the basics (manuals included!), and handle the ups and downs of being a professional instructor. I’ll talk about boundaries, what’s legit, and how to bulletproof yourself against fraud and self-doubt. The ZIN community is always here - we’re like family.
Where We Train
- In-person: I host trainings across India - Namma Bengaluru, Chennai, Trivandrum, and more. It’s always a habba (festival).
- Online: Join live Zoom sessions from anywhere.

My Story
Naanu Mysuru hudugi (I'm a Mysore girl), now fully Bengaluru-fied. Kannada kaliri! (Learn Kannada!) I’m always ready to help with basics. Zumba came into my life by accident in 2013, and now, after 12 years, 4 countries, and many cities, it’s still my thing. Got married recently—wore amma’s saree, full nostalgia! If I’m not dancing, you’ll find me painting, lifting, chilling with my gang, or petting every dog I see. I’m all about balance, joy, and doing what makes me happy.
