Karate instructor with over 30 years of karate experience, third level black belt ("sandan"). My goal is to spread the spirit, history, culture, and techniques of karate as well as educate students in the traditional Kyokushin style, ultimately training their hearts and bodies to become equally strong fighters and peaceful individuals. Founder of "Friendly Eagle Kyokushin Karate School", as well as "Friendly Eagle Software", "Eagle GPS" and "Friendly Eagle Farms".

Everyone has the potential to learn and practice karate. We have fun from time to time, but training is pretty rigorous and strict, starting with the most basic technique and gradually evolving towards learning the advanced ones while strengthening the mind and body. OSU!

I’m Natasha Frost, a certified personal trainer and holistic nutritionist, but more importantly, a mom who understands the struggles of core weakness firsthand. After experiencing diastasis recti and pelvic floor dysfunction myself, I realized how little support and education there was for women dealing with these issues. That’s what led me to specialize in core rehabilitation and strength training for women at all stages of life.

CHAD HAS A PADDLE

My Sup journey began in front of a Costco paddleboard display in 2014 and I fell in love with the sport on my first paddle. Since then, stand-up paddleboarding has taken me around the world and I never leave home without a SUP. I’ve paddled in the US, New Zealand, France, Belize, Japan, Laos, 4 Canadian provinces and one territory to date. As a Paddle Canada certified Advanced Flatwater SUP Instructor I seek to empower others to embark on their own SUP adventures, no matter how big or small their goals may be

Summerside!!! I absolutely love having the opportunity to teach in your beautiful community and share my love for High Fitness. It feeds my soul and challenges me in ways I didn’t know it would. Currently I’m teaching the format HIGH, a modern twist on aerobics in a non-stop hour of cardio & toning tracks. We move and groove to current hits, oldies and everything in between. The choreographed moves are repetitive, easy to follow and adaptable to all levels of fitness. You can go high or low as you listen to your body and what feels right for you. Anyone regardless of dancing skill, coordination, physical ability, size or shape can participate. Can’t wait to see you in class and keep you eyes out for my free class at the beginning of each session. Follow me at highfitchrista on Instagram.
