Let the sun shine from within!

Irina Matilainen-Tuokkola, PE teacher, PT

“I am Irina, a 150 cm Energizer bunny, the mom of two lovely girls and the spouse of former professional hockey player Pekka Tuokkola. Sports have always been a part of my life - a young girl interested in gymnastics who matured into a competitive aerobic gymnast. My competitive career highlighted in winning the World Championships in Aerobic Gymnastics held in 2011, Australia. After the WC title, I studied to become a qualified PE and PhysEd. teacher and Personal Trainer. As an entrepreneur, I can benefit and use my former experiences and studies for the good of my customers. I wholly believe that a regular and healthy daily rhythm and routines in the form of nutrition, exercise, and rest helps to manage our busy schedules and keep us going. Wellbeing is everyone’s privilege and a basis for happiness. Let the sunshine from within and forward it as a smile and pleasant feelings to others around us; it is empowering!”
