‘Sweat in Heels’: Body Talk!

February, we loved HER.
March, we became HER.
This month… we honor HER body.

Sweat in Heels: Body Talk is a high-energy, beginner-friendly heels dance experience designed to get you out of your head and fully into your body.

This is your space to tap into your main character energy, move what you’ve been holding, and celebrate your body, not just for how it looks, but for everything it does for you every single day.

No overthinking. No holding back. Just confidence, expression, and energy.

Here's where we let our bodies do the talking!

One time for.. Movement. Gratitude for our bodies. And Community!

Who are the Instructors?

Holta Tegu is a former High School Principal and passionate educator of 15 years who founded two mission-driven companies - SustainED Cnsulting and Sweat & Heal. Having experienced firsthand the negative impact the work had on her own mental health and that of countless others (i.e. doing good work, but at the expense of oneself), she founded "Sweat & Heal" - a wellness space dedicated to empowering busy women to move, nourish and & heal with ease - making wellness accessible, sustainable and so much fun!

Holta's a NASM certified personal trainer, an integrative nutrition health coach and a behavior change specialist who provides both virtual and in-person programming for her community. Virtually, sweat & heal members have access to 650+ workouts, real-time and past challenges (core, full body and legs & glutes), LIVE dance fitness classes, daily nutrition tips and so much more!

Given her background and continued work in education, experiencing firsthand the impact it could have on one's overall health and considering the number of educators leaving the field entirely, she hopes to bridge the gap between her two worlds by targeting educator retention and working to answer the question, "how do we avoid burnout and sustain the good work we're doing?"
