Coaching Style

How Yash coaches

Fun, focused, and movement-driven. Yash keeps things light while staying laser-focused on quality and helping people move the way they are meant to move.

Outside the Gym

When Yash isn't coaching

Yash works as an editor and assistant editor in film and TV, was part of his high school dance team, has completed high-altitude Himalayan treks, and once ate two 12-inch pizzas in one sitting.

The Honest Version

What Yash got wrong, and how Yash coaches now

What I used to get wrong

"When I first started coaching I leaned on intensity to make a class feel like a good class. I learned quickly that a great workout people can't move well in is just a story for the parking lot."

How I coach now

I coach movement quality first, vibe second. Class still has energy and humour, but no one leaves a session of mine without one specific technical thing to work on.

Every CFBC coach answers this question. It's part of how we coach.
