I love dancing! I love exercising! I got the Zumba fever in the winter of 2010/11 and have since then been teaching all sorts of Zumba classes and arranging Zumba marathons in and around my home town Linköping, Sweden. ----- I started my career as a Zumba instructor by attending the Zumba Basic I course held by ZES Izabela Kin-Janda in February 2011 in Lohja, Finland, the country I was born in. I continued my education with the Zumba Gold course given by ZES Lars Wensink in August 2011 in Oslo, Norway. I have since then taken all Zumba courses and I have also taught all types of Zumba classes. ----- Currently (June 2018) I regularly teach Zumba, Zumba Gold, Zumba Gold Chair, Zumba Step, and Aqua Zumba. I am self-employed as a certified personal trainer (CPT) and licensed Zumba instructor. ---- In my spare time I enjoy going to social salsa and bachata events as well as visiting Zumba marathons and Zumba colleauges' classes. My other favourite sports include cycling, running, and swimming. ----- In addition to the membership in the Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN), I am also a member of the European Register of Exercise Professionals (EREPS), IDEA Health & Fitness Association, and Korpen Swedish Exercise Federation. I am also a certified Les Mills Bodypump Instructor and teach classes since 2005. ----- For more information about my Zumba activities, please see my web site at zumba.takkinen.se (in Swedish).
