Vega is the owner of Unity Fitness in New Haven, where she hosts weekly Zumba classes and special events including monthly first-Saturday Zumba Yoga. Her personal journey into Zumba began in 2013 following a sport-related knee injury. Fearful of re-injury, she’d been avoiding active sports. “Zumba helped me connect with family members, and it became part of my routine, my stress reliever, and something I always looked forward to.”
