TJASA KOZELJ

Tjasa (Tee-yasha) was born and raised in Slovenia and was a high level tennis player… until she decided to focus more on scholarly activities.  Which is lucky for all of us!

 

Not only is Tjasa armed with a Kinesiology degree from her country but she also is a certified sports massage therapist, pilates instructor, and special needs coach.  Need we say more?  

 

YES!  Let’s say more… she loves to read holistic health books (again, lucky for us), she likes cooking and singing along to Coldplay / Balkan pop-folk music [editor’s note: we have NO IDEA what type of music this is].  

 

Look for Tjasa to kick your butt on the training floor and correct your imbalances.  And then find her using the same techniques for her own workout one hour later.

 

We very much welcome Tjasa‘s smile and Slovenian sense of humour on our team!

Resistance bands, because you can take them anywhere, and they leave no excuse for not moving your lazy body.

 

One of your early life accomplishments was?…
I placed third in a hip-hop competition in my age group during elementary school. This was despite my PE teacher doubting I’d make it because I wasn’t attending dance classes regularly, haha!

 

If you weren’t a personal trainer, what would you do?
I would be a dentist.

 

What was your first job? And what did you learn at that job?
I worked as a clothes seller at an Esprit store. I developed selling skills, improved customer service, and mastered the art of perfectly folding t-shirts.  I also met an inspiring woman who taught me a lot about business and work ethics. Lucie, if you’re reading this “Greetings to Ljubljana!”

 

The Incredibles, because they highlight the importance of family values.

 

A Bratz doll named Ajša. [editor’s note: again, NO IDEA]

 

Zadar. It holds 15 years of wonderful memories, great people, meaningful experiences, and amazing acquaintances.
