‘Sweat in Heels’: Love HER Loud!

This Valentine’s season, we’re shifting the focus inward!

Love HER Loud is a movement-led, self-love experience designed to help women reconnect with themselves and their bodies, rewrite limiting their beliefs, and celebrate themselves for being HER — unapologetically and out loud.

Led by “Sweat in Heels” instructors Holta & Stephany, this evening blends empowering beginner-friendly heels choreography, nervous-system regulation, and an intentional affirmation ritual that invites you to release old narratives and choose a new truth.

This is not about perfection.It’s about presence.. confidence... and taking up space — together.

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?"
