While earning my Masters in Exercise Science and Sport Psychology in the 80’s, I became certified as an IDEA Dance Exercise Professional and have been teaching college fitness classes ever since. I enjoy fusion fitness formats with elements of dance, martial arts, Pilates and Yoga. I’m licensed Black Belt in the Nia Technique, certified in Piyo, Yoga Ball, Five Stages, and 52 Moves Interval. I am passionate about teaching movement, and enjoy simple things like being outdoors in a quite beautiful place. I see my job as an opportunity to share knowledge and skills that enable people to keep themselves fit. To learn more about my classes visit http://sunny.moorparkcollege.edu/~kdewet

Elizabeth Shannon Rohrer, Pilates, T'ai Chi, Core Fitness, Aerobic Mix, and Cardio Kickboxing.
As a dancer, I have always been involved in health and wellness. I have degrees in Kinesiology, Dance, and Sociology, with special training in movement analysis, body conditioning, and somatic practices. I am also a certified Pilates instructor. My teaching approach is rooted in my love of movement as both an aesthetic expression and physical science. I’m inspired to share my passion and guide students to develop functional strength, mind-body awareness, and balance in every sense of the word. I also teach at CSUN and train private clients in Ventura and L.A. Counties.
