<p style="text-align: justify;">I want to feature people like Rebecca who have crossed my path and touched my life, inspiring me toward greatness. Too many of us fail to see greatness in ourselves. Somehow, it doesn’t seem to matter what we have achieved; we often need others to point out to us how we excel. People display “greatness” by their attitude, their lifestyle, their choices, their actions… I want to recognize the people in my life who lead by example.</p>

<h3 class="widget-title" style="text-align: center;">How did I meet ?</h3>
<div class="_4tdt _ua1">I’ve met Rebecca at a Hula hoop workshop in Montreal years ago. It was a full week workshop and already Rebecca was so skilled and talented. We stayed in touch and I bumped into her at a Can fit Pro conference in Montreal. I’ve been following her since and she simply blows my mind. Rebecca lives the dream; she trains, performs and gets to go to many beautiful locations to teach workshops. I am so honor to feature her as an Inspirational Person. Guest what? She is originally from Comox, BC.</div>

If I’m not physically active I feel depressed. When I begin to move I feel my whole body wake up. Not just my muscles and bones but all the way down to the cellular level. I feel that my decision making is influenced in a positive way when I exercise. I feel happier, and I have more energy to give to others.

<strong>What activity/workout do you prefer?</strong>
My favorite modes of movement are GYROKINESIS®/GYROTONIC®, Yoga, Hooping &amp; Dance.

<strong>What is your biggest accomplishment?</strong>
<a href="http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Rebecca-Halls-13.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1614 alignright" src="http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Rebecca-Halls-13-300x169.jpg" alt="Rebecca Halls - Hula hoop - Hula hooping - dancer - Nanaimo - circus arts - Personal training - Personal trainer - Yoga - Yoga Instructor " width="300" height="169" /></a>My biggest accomplishment happens every day when one of my students comes to me privately to tell me that they feel better than they did last week, or last year. This is for me the best gift any teacher, or movement therapist can receive.

<strong>What is your superpower?</strong>
Education is my super power. I will share with you a quote I once heard from a young Afghani girl “Education is gold, it is something that nobody can take away from you.” These words touched my heart and ring completely true. No matter how much experience and knowledge I have, I will continue to study, take as many courses as I can to continue to learn, because education is precious, and keep our brains active keeps us young.

<strong>What is your favourite cheat treat?</strong>
<a href="http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Rebecca-Halls-10.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1611 alignright" src="http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Rebecca-Halls-10-300x200.jpg" alt="Rebecca Halls - Hula hoop - Hula hooping - dancer - Nanaimo - circus arts - Personal training - Personal trainer - Yoga - Yoga Instructor " width="300" height="200" /></a>I love to bake cookies! I think if you are going to cheat, it’s important to know all of the ingredients. Plus when you are baking you can add love to whatever you are making and share it with others.

<strong>What is your favourite dish/recipe?</strong>

I am a juice addict. Cucumber, Apple, Celery &amp; Ginger with a hint of cayenne pepper. It’s refreshing yet warms you up. Perfect for exercising on a winter day!

<strong>What are your goals and dreams?</strong>
<a href="http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Rebecca-Halls-11.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1612 alignright" src="http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Rebecca-Halls-11-200x300.jpg" alt="Rebecca Halls - Hula hoop - Hula hooping - dancer - Nanaimo - circus arts - Personal training - Personal trainer - Yoga - Yoga Instructor " width="200" height="300" /></a>My goal is to bring people together to create positive change in the world beginning on the individual level, and that each of these individuals is able to change the world through feeling better in their own body, mind and soul. I do this through my retreats, providing a beautiful environment for people to learn about yoga and the breath and develop a daily practice that they can take home with them. Creating lasting change in their lives, and the lives of those around them.

<strong>Advice for a newbie?</strong>
Find something that lights you up. Find other people who share your passion. Practice often. Find a teacher you vibe with. Travel, play, study, train, have fun, eat, sleep, repeat.
