I have worn many hats throughout the years; from engineering & sales account manager, to business owner & barre guru. I love encouraging others to embrace what exercise can do for them not just physically but mentally too. I have been teaching fitness for over 10 years. When not spending time with my two fun loving daughters, I also enjoy hiking, traveling and cooking for family and friends.

Hi! I'm Deb Behnke.  I started teaching at the orignal Body Language in 1979. I am blessed with 3 beautiful grandchildren. Any extra time I have, other than working at the Detroit Gun Club, I like to spend it with my family. I love teaching aerobics-I love the people and the time it allows us to spend on ourselves making us better people. Working out to me isn't a job - It's a passion!

Hello! I’m Claudia! My yoga journey began about 6 years ago. I
started yoga to find a new outlet for my mind and body after I was no
longer playing basketball competitively. After a couple yoga classes at Body Language I fell in love with the physical and mental benefits of yoga. My yoga mat quickly became one of my favorite places to be. I completed my yoga teacher training with Andrea at Body Language in the Spring of 2021. The training has deepened my practice and I’m excited to share what I have learned with all of you on your mats. In my free time you can find me hiking, playing basketball, doing yoga and spending time with my family and husband on the lake. I hope to see you in class soon! “

Hi! I’m Shawn Jones. I have been practicing yoga regularly since 2006 and have been a member of Body Language since 2007. I went through Andrea’s Teacher Training program in 2010. The experience deepened my practice and made me even more passionate about yoga! I love teaching and sharing everything this practice has to offer. I’m so happy to have found this wonderful community. In my spare time, I enjoy working out, reading and spending time with my husband and 2 daughters. I look forward to meeting you and having you in one of my classes!
