Welcome to the Yoga Club for Girls! All are welcome! Let’s get our bodies moving and blood flowing. Class will begin with some girl chat where the girls and I can talk about some of our favorite ways to stay active, goal setting, and nutrition! Whether we had a week full of setbacks or victories, this is a safe place to find encouragement and motivation! Having a workout partner or group makes working out fun and we are more likely to stick to our routine! It's important to note that fitness isn't about how you look, it's about how you feel! Being healthy looks and feels different for every girl! We are here to support one another!

Class will begin with various breathing and stretching exercises. Next, I will continue to model and perform a variety of stretches that will be for our core, upper and lower body. The stretches will be fun and fresh each class! No prior experience is needed because each stretching exercise or movement can be modified to make it more challenging or less challenging. I will demonstrate the difference so each learner can listen to her body that day and do more or less as she feels comfortable. Since all exercises can be modified, each girl will feel successful and strong throughout class! Finally, class will finish with gratitude, positive thoughts, and a cool down movement. We will practice different deep breathing techniques throughout class. 

Learners will have the opportunity to share their own favorite stretches and socialize during the workout session! I love including games where we get to know each other more or learn about the human body and nutrition in a fun way or just games to get to know each other. You can expect your child to receive lots of encouragement and praise throughout our workout. They will leave feeling excited about fitness, and with new stretches they can practice at home by mixing and matching them together!

Between the ages of 8 and 14, girls' confidence levels can fall by 30%. Of course, puberty can be a stormy time for confidence in both genders. But research shows that girls experience a much more significant, dramatic drop. The good news is confidence can also be encouraged, nurtured, even created during these turbulent years. We are honored to provide a safe space where each girl can feel comfortable, try something new, and always be encouraged. Friendship and fitness are found in all of our "Girls” classes, but equally important, confidence is built. We want every girl to leave the Ready Set Fitness Studio feeling empowered, strong, and valued.

Our goal at Ready Set Fitness is to pour our love and enthusiasm for physical activity into your child so much that they develop their own intrinsic motivation to get active each day! I can't wait to meet you!

Please feel free to try out a class with Miss Shannon and Ms. Kara both, as our teaching styles are different! If you are looking for a second movement class for your child, check out our Girls Workout Club! Many of our learners enjoy taking both classes!
