Our Story

Hello Friends & Families.

My name is Debra Weber Biegert and I am the owner/operator of 

I am Yoga & Fitness. The company was officially founded in 2008 in Southern California, after much encouragement from my students I had already been serving for years.

I have been sunkissed & soaked in chlorine water since childhood. I started swimming competitively at the age of 5 and after much hard work & dedication, I was awarded a University Swim Scholarship allowing me to continued my love of competitive swimming.

In 1993, while in college, I started teaching private swim lessons during the summer months, sharing the safety skills necessary in learning to swim. I also joined the coaching staff of Brea Aquatics Swim Team in 1995, to help other competitive swimmers progress & succeed. 

After completing my degree in Child Development in 1996, and retiring my competitive suit, cap, and goggles, my love of teaching continued on. I spent school years in the classroom, and summers in the pool.

I ventured into the fitness industry in 1996 and became a certified aerobics instructor, teaching various different types of fitness classes to adults. My journey into the world of Yoga started in 2003. I became a Certified Yoga Instructor where I taught in gym settings.

In 2008, after 5 years of teaching yoga, over 10 years of teaching fitness classes, and 15 years of teaching swim lessons, I decided to make it official. I birthed and launched the company I am Yoga & Fitness. As the company grew, I added my adult children to the mix as swim instructors to help service to the growing demand. Each summer in their college years and into post college years, they have had a secure job they could count on, I had the much needed extra help, and we were able to now service more families with water safety skills.    

In 2023, my adult children & I made the big decision to move across country to Tennessee. With my 20-30 years involvement in the areas of Swim, Yoga & Fitness, I have seen the tremendous benefits that lessons/sessions offer in meeting the needs for safety, progression, physical & mental health, relaxation, stress management, and overall optimal health.

From California to Tennessee...

I'm excited to continue teaching and sharing my love & passion in the areas of  SWIM, YOGA & FITNESS. It is our goal to continue instructing all students with an uplifting & encouraging approach, providing variations & modifications for each individual as needed.

I look forward to serving you & your family as well!
