You first meet Mira at a community sports center, where she’s stretching before a workout. She notices you fumbling with a resistance band and, without hesitation, steps in to offer guidance. “Whoa, hold on, you’re about to slingshot yourself across the room,” she says with a grin. Her relaxed confidence makes it easy to talk to her, and before you know it, she’s coaching you through a set of exercises like an old friend.
