"When I first started my NPC journey I was very clueless when it came to many aspects of the sport, posing most certainly being one of them. Posing in any division is very difficult to master unless you are under the right guidance. After my first season in the NPC I knew I needed to make change after looking at my stage shots.

I had reached out to Yorkanis over at Sassy and Classy Posing and I am beyond grateful I did so. Not only did she make a dramatic change in my stage presence, but in my confidence as well. And I am lucky enough to say that I am now an IFBB Pro!"

"My name is Alex and I have been a bikini competitor for 4 years. After my first year I was hooked, I knew I wanted to make a name for myself in this sport. After competing in two shows and placing 5th in both I decided to ask for feedback. Turns out my posing is where I was lacking the most. 

I started working with Yorkanis from Sassy and Classy my second year competing and the changes I made were unexplainable. I went from stiff, awkward, and having no confidence, to gliding across the stage with grace, confidence, and of course, SASS! 

No matter how long I am in this sport or how many shows I have under my belt I will never stop posing with Sassy and Classy. Thank you guys so much for changing the way I look as an athlete and also giving me the confidence to radiate the stage." 







Alexandria Bonstein,Bikini Competitor

"I've been competing in Fitness & Physique competitions for over 25 years and I highly recommend Patrice Vignola of Sassy & Classy posing for Men's Physique. 

Patrice is a NPC Judge and IFBB Pro Figure competitor and knows exactly what to look for on the stage. As much as I think I might know it's always a good idea to have another set of eyes critique and help perfect your stage presentation. 

I've been working with Patrice the last 2 years and feel it made a big difference. I would meet with Patrice once a week for 12 to 16 weeks before the show. Making appointments with her kept me on my toes weekly and her instruction would stick with me week to week. 

Presentation of posing is what the judges are looking for and Patrice helped design a routine that fits my style. Patrice is also a figure coach and I've sent my clients to her as well.

My clients are very satisfied with there improvements in stage presentation. Thank you Patrice for helping me and my clients 👍💪"







Rich Tuma, IFBB PRO and RTN CEO

"I could sit here and write really long paragraphs about my choice to pose with Sassy and Classy, but I will narrow it down to just a few really good things that I've experienced as a Sassy and Classy client. 

Good customer service means helping customers efficiently, in a friendly manner. It's one of the things that can set business apart from the others of its kind. Along with the knowledge and proper attitude, it is important to handle customers quickly and efficiently. This is what Sassy and Classy practices with every client, hence the reason they have grown so much and will continue to grow. I have been posing with Sassy and Classy since 2015. 

I am a Figure Competitor. My posing coach is Patrice Vignola. When I came to Sassy & Classy after placing 5th in my first show, I was pretty new in the world of Bodybuilding competitions. Heck, I had no clue how to display myself. Patrice took the time to help me understand the routine as well, show muscle without looking stressed or as if I am forcing something. She never lost her patience, she accentuated my positives so that I wouldn't get discouraged, she truly helped me to understand what I was supposed to do. 

After our first couple of sessions, I went off to do a 2nd show and there I placed 2nd. The difference this time was confidence and understanding the routines! I was clear on what I was supposed to do and ready to execute on what I learned! Since then, I have done more shows and my placing has gotten higher every time! I now have 2 first place and 2 overall wins! 

 So, thank you Patrice "my posing angel" for helping me to display my hard work and being such a wonderful posing coach!"



Carmen Abreu, IFBB Figure Pro

"I was a first time competitor when by a stroke of luck, I received Patrice's name from a friend.

Up until this point I had only seen posing tips from YouTube videos, and truly had no clue how to put them all into practice. Patrice walked me through each pose step-by-step, and guided me through every detail.

Every turn, foot placement, hand position is tailored to my individual physique and highlighted my strong points. 

I truly believe that the posing instruction I learned from Patrice helped me win 2 shows, and first call outs at Team Universe. The level of professionalism at Sassy and Classy cannot be duplicated. I'm proud to be on the team."










Marisa Pecoraro, NPC National Level Figure Competitor.

"As an NPC competitor, I noticed how all the girls that posed with Yorkanis Francis of Sassy and Classy definitely had a noticeable edge on stage. All of their movements were natural, fluid, and best of all… CONFIDENT!

I decided to start working with Yorkanis right before my Team Universe Universe prep, and I’m so happy that I did! I won my Pro Card in two categories, thanks to Yorkanis! 

She also helped me with my IFBB Pro Debut routine as well. I had no nerves or jitters because Sassy and Classy knows how to choose the best poses and transitions to highlight your best attributes. It doesn’t matter how good your body looks, if you cannot showcase your body appropriately, you are wasting your time dieting and in the gym! 

Sassy and Classy knows how to put you on display…just the right way. Make sure you schedule your posing sessions with Yorkie so your hard work in the gym and with your diet do not go unnoticed on that stage!
 
Thank you, Yorkanis!"

LuLu Giraldo, IFBB Bikini Pro

"Last year when my daughter convinced me to do an NPC show I decided that I needed to quickly locate a posing coach as I had no clue how or what to do on stage. 

The previous season I had spoken to Yorkanis at one of my daughter's shows and there was something about her that made me feel comfortable and confident that she would be the one to get me ready for the stage. 

I reached out to her and before I knew it, I was posing with her. She is very patient, professional and gave me the time that I needed with her to learn my routine. She made sure that each pose was the perfect one for me and my body. 

Thanks to Yorkanis I was able to compete confidently with my daughter placing in each of my Four shows and winning my Over 40 Master's Class at the NPC NY Grand Prix 2016."

"My experience with Sassy & Classy Posing has been beyond exceptional!! Before meeting with Yorkanis, I really had no idea what I was doing.

I would watch videos of other girls posing on YouTube and would try to copy what they were doing. I was kind of "winging-it" during my first two seasons competing and just hoping for the best! Once I realized I really wanted to succeed in this sport, I decided I should get a posing coach to help me and I am beyond thankful to have found Yorkanis. She has helped create a routine for me that displays MY physique in the best way possible! 

Honestly, I think that is one of the things that is so great about Sassy & Classy Posing. They help design a routine that works best for YOU, you aren't just given the same routine as the last 10 girls Yorkanis has helped out! It makes you feel good knowing you have a routine just for you that will display all of your hard work in the best way possible on show day!"


Bianka Zimmermann , NPC National Level Bikini Competitor

"I never thought I would find a posing coach as amazing as Patrice Vignola her expertise and care are a rare commodity that I value very much.

Her continued support and patience drives me to be the very best.

I highly recommend Sassy and Classy Posing to all competitors of any level."


Gina McGowan, NPC National Level Competitor

"My journey with Sassy and Classy started in 2015. I had every intention of competing that year, but had no clue where to start. Thankfully, my boyfriend reached out to a co worker who was into fitness and I was blessed to be given Yorkanis' number for posing. I contacted her and asked her if she could refer me to someone for diet/prep and that's when Patrice came into the picture. 

My very first check- in Patrice sat down with me and wrote down a list of vitamins/ supplements along with the various kinds of foods I would be incorporating into my diet. Within a month I went back for a check in and the changes in my body were amazing. I knew I had made the right decision and I knew that Patrice had my health and best interest in mind. 

That first season was a whirlwind for me, as I waited for the last minute to book my tan and make-up, but I didn't worry at all because I knew in my heart my coaches would help me. Check-in after check-in and posing after posing, I saw myself becoming a bikini competitor and it was a dream come true. Now in 2017, two years after I started my journey with Sassy and Classy, I have achieved IFBB PRO status and the feeling is unreal. Patrice and Yorkanis literally helped me go from a "wannabe" to a pro. I am beyond thankful for everything these women have done for me and I can't wait to see what we can bring to the pro stage."
