Tanya Colucci has been in the fitness and wellness industry for over sixteen years. Through Tanya’s personal and professional experiences she is leading the way in the transition of the fitness and wellness industry as a Holistic Intuitive Movement Healer taking a unique, multidisciplinary approach.  

Tanya earned her Master of Science degree from American University and her Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science from Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania. Tanya is one of eleven Master Instructors for the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), traveling around the country teaching the Optimum Performance Training Workshops.  Tanya has risen to become one of the top Personal Trainers in the United States. Tanya is also a recognized fitness industry presenter sharing her passion and knowledge at several industry events. Her experience ranges from Corporate Fitness, Commercial Fitness, Director of Personal Training, Founder of her non-profit the Infinity Wellness Foundation, Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist, Yoga & Meditation Teacher, and Performance Enhancement Specialist.

 Tanya is a Licensed Massage Therapist in MD and DC. Currently Tanya is immersed in learning the techniques of John F. Barnes in Myofascial Release  and has completed Myfascial Release I & II, Unwinding, Cervical Thoracic, and Fascial Pelvis.  She combines the work of Myofascial Release with functional movement patterns, yoga, meditation, pranayama, and reiki to allow clients to move freely without pain.  

Intrigued by religion and spirituality since a young child Tanya began seeking out a teacher.  Tanya was initiated on the Path of Sant Mat by Sant Rajinder Singh in 2008 and has studied with other Swami's and Spiritual Leaders over the past 6 years. Tanya completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in August 2011 with YogaWorks and teacher Heather Seagraves. After a recent journey to India, where she spent 12 days in the Swami Rama Ashram in Rishnikesh, she hopes to bring Meditation and Yoga into everyones day to day life making it easy and playful. Tanya was so moved by her experience in India that she decided to enroll in the Himalayan Tradition of Raja Yoga and has started her 600-hour yoga teacher training. 

Through Tanya’s own life experience of dealing with stress, back pain, and weight issues she has taken her experience and knowledge and created a unique training system to help clients achieve their wellness and fitness goals which she calls their ‘lifestyle goals’.  “It is important to know how to deal with the stresses of life and still take care of your body, mind, and spirit.  Finding the balance between those three things will lead to a happy well balanced in-sync person full of love, passion, and motivation!”

Tanya blends her Corrective Exercise Specialist Certificate, CHECK Holistic Lifestyle Coaching Program, Yoga Teacher Training, Meditation Experience with various teachers around the world, her Reiki Master Certification, and Myofascial Release skills to provide clients with a hybrid movement and healing session to help them get to their goals with a mind/body approach. 

One of her new favorite quotes: "The ultimate creative act is that we recreate ourselves by letting go of old patterns and habits which limit our personality. Open ourselves up for something new and work to change small self into big self-letting go of  the 'I' habit."-Swami Nityamuktananda
