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. ### My work - **Zumba Classes for All**: I teach Zumba for beginners, pros, and kids. Everyone’s welcome to join the groove. - **Zumba Education Specialist**: I train and certify future instructors in Zumba Basic 1, Zumba Rhythms 3, and Zumba Kids classes. - **Class Vibe**: First, I teach. Then, we perform! Music, energy, and fun—just show up and move. - **For First Timers**: Wear what feels good, pick the mid-row, don’t stress about steps. Just keep moving and enjoy. - **Instructor Training**: I share the real gyaan. Be coachable, learn basics, hustle, and build your Zumba community. ## More services from Sahana Jagannatha - [Zumba Classes](https://mytribe.in/sahanajags/zumba-classes) · ₹400-1,500 per session (estimate) - [Zumba for Corporate & Special Events](https://mytribe.in/sahanajags/zumba-for-corporate-special-events) · ₹8-18K per session (estimate) ## Book To book Sahana Jagannatha, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Zumba%20Instructor%20Certification%20%26%20Training%20by%20Sahana%20Jagannatha.)
