Hello my name is Steph I was born and raised in Scarborough and now live in Guelph Ontario. I have been a Zumba instructor since April 2012. Shortly after I became a licensed group fitness instructor and personal trainer. I am also licensed in Zumba Kids, Zumba Step, Zumba Core, Zumba Sentao and Strong Nation.
I love being a group fitness instructor. It brings me great joy to see people smile and having fun while learning to love themselves, all while reaching their health goals.
Hello friends! I'm Nivedita aka Nive, I was born and raised in India and moved to Canada in 2019.I have been a Zumba Instructor since 2018.
It truly is an utter joy to teach a Zumba class! Anything that puts a smile on your face is something you should really invest in, and to me, that's ZUMBA! Come join me and see for yourself. Zumba is way more than just fitness.... it's dancing away your stress and shaking off your calories :)

Becca Sumka
Hello! My name is Becca :) Zumba has been a part of my life for the past 10 years. It has been a major part of my weight loss transformation and fitness journey. Zumba brings so much joy to my life because it allows me to be myself and dance like no one is watching.
I’m grateful for Shake it Off Studio and the instructors who teach there. Both Steph and Nive have inspired me to achieve my goal of becoming an instructor. I have been a ZIN member since January 2023. I’m grateful for the experience of getting on stage and seeing the smiling faces dancing with me. I look forward to dancing with you!
Laura mcNeilly
Hi everyone! I’m Laura, and I’ve been hootin’ and hollerin’, laughing and shaking, and getting sweaty, silly, and sassy as a ZIN member since 2009. For me, Zumba is more than a fitness practice, it is a joy, pursuit, and one of my most cherished resources for well-being. When I’m not dancing at SIOS, I am working as a Psychotherapist, helping others find their own inner and outer resources for well-being. I’m thrilled to be sharing the dance floor with the Shake It Off Studio community. See you there!

Hey there, yogis! I'm Debbie Stanley, originally from bustling Brampton, but proudly calling Guelph home since 2009. Who knew that my career journey in the death care industry would unknowingly align so perfectly with yoga philosophies? It's like the universe had a plan all along!
Yoga has been my go-to for grounding and peace, and I fell in love with the idea of teaching this passion to others. Recently, I took the Bodsphere 200 hour YT course, and now I'm bursting with excitement to share my found yoga zest with you as a brand new teacher! Join me on the mat as we explore mindfulness, strength, and the beauty of finding balance in every breath. Let's flow and grow together!
