A Little HistoryBad Dog Rebel Fitness & Yoga was originally called Every Body Fitness & Yoga. Pre-pandemic, Every Body Fitness & Yoga was a boutique micro, in-home studio where JodiAnn Stevenson hosted Power Yoga, TRX and other fitness classes in-person for classes of 6 or less people at a time.
In 2020, everything changed for all of us. Like so many fitness and yoga professionals, JodiAnn took her show online and rebranded Every Body to Bad Dog Rebel, offering online personal training; body liberation training; and a wide variety of fitness and yoga classes. In July of 2020, JodiAnn was teaching 32 online classes per week for her online studio members! Since then, Bad Dog Rebel has continued -- and will continue -- to evolve, as more and more Bad Dogs join the pack! |
