Living your Yoga FUN!

Lee’s Summit has been our home for over 12 years. I have met
dynamic and inspiring people, and found a welcoming home as a
Group Fitness, Water & Cycle Director and as a children’s
muralist. I have grown so much professionally and am thrilled to
be blessed with the ability to offer The Zen Zone yoga to children.

Yoga with my own children has brought so many benefits into our
home. It brings a loving, creative environment for my three
daughters to uncover their own truths and a peace circle to calm
the many storms we seem to have. In sharing yoga with my own
children and volunteering my experience in pre-school, grade &
high schools, I quickly found out that yoga for children is very
different than yoga for adults. It can be silly, fun, loud and
mixed-up! Most of all, together we can enjoy the health,
happiness, and blessings that come from doing yoga.

I have found that yoga for kids encourages self-esteem and body
awareness with a physical activity that’s non-competive.
Cooperation and compassion – instead of opposition – is a great
gift to give our children.

As a Group Fitness Director for over 16 years my passion is to
move, smile and have fun with all ages. I am also certified in
many other fitness fields including Pilates, Aqua, Personal
Training, Bodypump, Turbokick, Piyo, Kickboxing, Yogafit,
Radiant Child, and even Zumba dance.

My fabulous yoga warrior is graceful, compassionate, and
powerful. She gets things done with ease and takes time to drink
in every precious moment of life. Ahhh…I can breather easier just
imagining her.

We all need great strength to stand and face life with an open
heart, and to stay centered in the presence of fear and anger
without hiding behind ego and bravado. It takes the quality of
flexibility to live with compassion.

I look forward to sharing yoga in our beautiful studio and let you
and your family experience stories that come alive and an
exceptional way to relax, play and learn.

I would like to thank my family and friends for the focus on
becoming fearless and to “Wake up and Roar!”

Namaste’

Finding Calm in the Storm

As a busy sales professional, wife and mother of two, I find that
the everyday stresses in life can easily take over if you aren’t
careful! When I began to discover the beauty of yoga, I became
hooked. Yoga offered me a rare opportunity to relax, re-focus and
reflect. The added benefit of strength and flexibility was just icing
on the cake!

I soon introduced yoga to my daughter, Shay, and she loved it
too! I realized that yoga can be a wonderful gift to offer a child.
Before long, she was correcting my techniques! I then became
certified in Radiant Child Yoga, as well as completing several
certifications with the YogaFit program.

Since adding yoga to my life, I have found the grace to handle
challenges that come my way, the patience to listen and learn and
the appreciation for some of the small gifts in my daily life. When
the concept of The Zen Zone began to develop, I knew
immediately that we were holding a gift in our hands that we are
so excited to share with you and your families. We know that you
will find our space a place that you and your family can come with
an open heart and mind to share, grow and learn together.

We feel strongly that children today need to be given the tools to
handle the challenges that will inevitably come their way. I feel
honored to be able to help them discover their strength within,
and to uncover their natural abilities to empower themselves. The
crazy part is that it can be done while having a great time! I love
this job!

I would also like to thank my friends and family for their support,
creative input and positive energy. This amazing undertaking
could not have happened without them.

Peace, joy and happiness-

Leah
