Week 1: Karma Tribe Yoga
Lauren will challenge the mind, body and spirit in an all-levels vinyasa flow class. The class can be easily scaled for all levels, from the first time practitioner to the experienced yogi. Lauren began practicing yoga in 2001, but really committed to a lifestyle change in 2013 when she went to the Costa Rican rainforest to learn from the masters at Frog Lotus Yoga. Lauren has now taught over 3,000 hours of classes. She says, “My aim is to provide a practice that is challenging, stress-relieving, focused hands-on, playful, and safe…to help you find your true self.”
Karma Tribe Yoga is a non-profit, donation based yoga studio. It is fully inclusive of all genders, races, religions and income levels, allowing students to pay what they can.
Please bring your own yoga mat.
Week 2: KC Physiques
This class will challenge participants with team fitness drills. Exercises include cardio, plyometrics, sprints, squats and more. Jesse and Laura from KC Physiques will lead the classes. Jesse spent 4 years in the Navy and uses his experiences to drive others to succeed. Laura became involved in fitness training as a new mother, with the goal to lose weight and gain self-confidence. Both decided to share their knowledge to inspire and help others and are now figure competitors and certified trainers.
KC Physiques offers personal training throughout the Kansas City area. The trainers pride themselves in customizing plans to maximize training time and meet each person’s individual goals.
Week 3: FitKC
Lacey and Katie are passionate about what they do, and they want to help you with their total body workout class. They will create different stations and lead various exercises for the upper body, lower body and core. This class is adjustable for all levels of fitness.
Lacey and Katie met at the University of Central Missouri where they taught classes, conducted personal training and became best friends. Two years ago, they opened their own training and nutrition company called FitKC. They believe “there is so much more to fitness than just working out and eating right…it’s about your mindset & balance associated with a happy, healthy life!”
FitKC offers personal, online, and competition training along with nutrition planning.
Week 4: WebFit Nation
Zac & WebFit Nation will be hosting Family Game Night fitness activities. They will take classic games such as Go Fish, Yahtzee and Connect Four to the next level with burpees, jumping jacks, bodyweight exercises, and more. Bring the entire family!
