I just have to tell you how awesome you are. These past few weeks have been hard, but knowing that I have your class to go to makes all the difference. I swear it is an antidepressant, mood-lifting, amazing class! And my body has changed so much. Your energy, and the music, and the way you teach class are so special. You've really had such a positive effect on my life. So, I wanted to say Thank You. - Susan Davis

Dove's Signiture Class

Dove's class is an amazing energetic group experience, consisting of aerobic muscle sculpting drills. These drills isolate every muscle group in the body, focusing on intense endurance training. The music pumps you up and keeps you going as you are led through various strength and cardiovascular circuits. Drawing from Dove's extensive training in fitness, dance, yoga and meditation, she continuously creates new and innovative formats. You will never take the same class twice, ever.

Her technique incorporates lunges, pushups, squats, dips, situps, hi/low impact step-ups, free weight training, etc.; utilizing soft steps, free weights, ankle weights, pilates ball, medicine balls, balance discs, ballet barres, jump ropes, resistance bands, hula hoops, bamboo barres, mats, and cardiovascular machines. As well as her fusion of asana work along with gentle, restorative and healing yoga incorporate yoga mats, blocks, straps, blankets and bolsters for a deeper experience for healing to occur in the body, mind and spirit.

The energy you receive from Dove's class carries you through this powerful workout experience, which creates visible results immediately. You reduce bodyfat, lose inches, gain lean body mass, increase cardiovascular endurance, improve muscular strength, increase flexibility and coordination, balance hormones, decrease stress, improve mood, sleep, and general well being as well as learn proper breathing techniques.

Dove's Bodies is a great option for those who are tired of impersonal fitness studios and over-crowded gyms and studios. At Dove's Bodies you don't have to worry about parking problems, waiting in line, expensive memberships,or overcrowded classes creating risk of injury.

Although Dove's classes are challenging, and the results are dramatic, your safety is never compromised. Individual attention is paid to each student with special emphasis on correct form and technique.

Dove caters to a broad clientele and welcomes all fitness levels, all ages, all injuries and other personal limitations one might have to feel comfortable knowing that she will honor your body's needs and guide you through a workout that is right and safe for your situation. Many students have gone through their journey with cancer with Dove, greatly benefiting from her personal care and attention to detail in her work. She specializes in working with special cases, emotional tragedy, divorce, loss of loved one, physical injury, menopause, and any other personal matter. Dove views all of these as 'a way in' or an internal teacher in each of us that grows stronger as life 'happens' to us. Every client is honored and respected as they connect to their body and their breath as they heal from their personal experiences and grow stronger in their new space of wellness. Dove prides herself in embracing her softer side and encourages others to do less when necessary. Often times reminding her students that it is within the stillness that our deepest gifts and blessings arise.

You are amazing! Inspiring change in others is no small thing, and you have the gift. After our nutritional consultation my husband and I have never felt so healthy and purified.

Mindful Movement Marathon - M3

I decided to use Dove's outdoor class as a motivator to stop smoking. There was no way I could keep smoking and take part in her grueling workouts. Also, the added cardiovascular workout has burned the added pounds traditionally gained by smokers when they quit. Dove keeps me motivated and cheers me on when I don't think I can take another step. I feel like a success story. Thank you, Dove! - Pat Tallman

Written Workout Program

The best part about moving to Oregon and working for Nike was always being around a fitness atmosphere. The worst part was moving away from Dove and her classes! I have managed to incorporate all she has taught me into my routine at the gym and home but miss her strong encouragement and the way she made me feel after each class. I felt like I could accomplish anything! I will never be able to replace her motivation and spirit but will always carry her fitness techniques with me wherever I go. - Suzette Henri, Nike

Refrigerator Therapy

Your nutritional counseling has been great. I have been preparing things to keep in the fridge and following everything you told me during our nutritional-counseling session. I took the amino acid you suggested to help me sleep and I have never slept so well! I didn't wake up once; I usually do two or three times a night. It's pretty crazy, but in one week I already see a difference in my skin. When I threw away all my old foods I couldn't believe how much everything was processed, packaged, and disgusting. Thank you so much for providing this service! I am feeling so good about your class mixed with this nutritional counseling. I feel like, "What did I do before I went to Dove's Bodies?!" Thanks again for everything! - Rebecca Smith

"Dove's class left me feeling like I just had a massage. She guides you to be aware of your body and breath.

"I have not taken a yoga class in years and I wanted to start out with something that would be an easier re-tuning for my body. Dove's class was simply wonderful. From the start I felt at ease and comfortable. I loved being in the flow of the movements and Dove's guidance was just lovely. Although this was a gentle class, I felt that I had gotten a full and complete stretch, that helped me to be more deeply rooted in my body. Dove's class re-kindled my interest in yoga, and I intend to take her class again for the harmony and balance that it brought me." - Beverly Mickins

"In 1968 I took yoga classes in New York. I loved them. In 1970 I stopped. For no reason and I never went back. In 1996 I found Dove and I was inspired like I had never been before. I have spent the last sixteen years following Dove along her path and I have embraced all her teaching styles. Now life has come full circle. Here I am in 2012 with advanced osteoporosis, bones that are fragile and painful, finding myself walking back into her Yoga class. Dove's gentle yoga classes allows me to enjoy the movement without experiencing any pain. They are effective while being gentle and soothing, which is my priority. Dove's meditations are more relaxing for me than an entire day at the spa. I always leave feeling great, empowered and inspired. Dove just does that for me. She is my perfect elixir for overall well-being." - Ellen Deutsch

"Dove's special brand of Yummy Yoga is like hitting the reset button on both your body and mind. Her style is gentle, her touch is loving and her guidance is soothing and confident. After Dove's class I feel not only cared-for, seen, and appreciated, but also wiser and more centered than when I arrived. More, please. :)" - Laurie Shiers

"Dove's class is the perfect balance of relaxation and stretching to relieve the physical strains my body holds while letting go of the emotional strains of the day. Her voice is so soothing and the flow of her class and teaching is very helpful for my life. You are a gift Dove..Thank you." - Rachel McArthur

Life Coaching

Dove is like my guru, my mentor. There is no one else like her. I drive 30 miles to come here, and I would drive farther if I had to. She is the best thing that ever happened to me. You could never find a class like this because there is no one like Dove. To even try to get a similar workout you would have to go from gym to gym and class to class to get everything covered that she does in one class. There is nothing as complete as this one class. I just can't get enough. - Sue Chamian

I travel quite a bit for business and work out wherever my job takes me. From San Francisco to New York, Paris to Tokyo, there's nothing like Dove anywhere. Dove's classes are the best being taught - period. - Robert Stern
Dove is a professional, knowledgeable, informed, supportive, demanding, and phenomenal instructor. Her classes are tough, and rewarding. I am usually turned off by the lack of organization and knowledge of instructors. With Dove, I know I am safe. Her classes are structured and organized in such a brilliant way, and her dance background is an added plus.
