TEACHES: Cycle    Indoor cycling and barre instructor Emily "Bird" Lavelle is a lifelong athlete and healthy living advocate. She is Mad Dogg Spinning Certified and IBFFA Barre Certified. Emily's belief in the mind-body connection informs her teaching style, and her goal is for her students to walk away from every class feeling "better"-- physically, emotionally, and mentally. Emily has been described as a "wolf in sheep's clothing," as she pushes her students to their ultimate physical limits, but with a motivating, encouraging energy, and always with a smile. Emily focuses on form, technique, and somatic awareness in both her cycling and barre classes, and strives to create a positive, communal energy in the room.   Emily recently moved to Boise from New York City is in love with the city's connection to nature and the outdoors. When she's not on the bike or at the barre, Emily is a writer and editor and working on a novel with her twin sister. She can also likely be found hiking, volunteering at a local farm, or losing hours of her life in a bookstore.   Power Song: Heavenly Light by LP Mantra: Good Vibes Only
