Coming this fall... WARRIOR Rhythm ROOTS
Embrace stability and a powerful sense of grounding with WARRIOR Rhythm ROOTS™, an evolution of our signature program. Combining yoga-inspired sequences, resistance training, and cardio, this class enhances balance, flexibility, and strength with the support of a chair. Experience the perfect blend of rhythmic yoga flows, mindful movements, and invigorating, low impact exercises tailored for active agers and adaptive athletes. Root yourself in an unforgettable practice that nurtures your body and soul.
I am thrilled to announce my partnership with the 2024 IDEA Emerging Trailblazer of the Year, Ruben Pereyra! Ru Per is the Senior Fitness Director at WESLEY Senior Homes in Des Moines. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and is a certified ACE personal trainer, Parkinson’s Fitness Specialist, Senior Fitness Specialist, WA Certified Coach, and speaker specializing in senior populations. For the past 16 years, Ruben has been a prominent figure in the fitness industry, promoting the importance of movement and its positive impact on people’s lives. Ruben is also an entrepreneur, offering fitness services for people of all ages, which include personal training, group exercise classes, brain cognitive function training, and fitness direction for renowned corporations.
Ruben is the Format Expert for WARRIOR Rhythm ROOTS, launching in November 2024.
The name of this program “ROOTS” is inspired by tree roots that provide nourishment, stability and life to its branches and limbs . And the verb “root” which means to establish deeply. We also root for ourselves and one another by celebrating successes and wins.
ROOTS follows the formatting and formulas of Warrior Rhythm by mirroring its yoga, strength, and cardio themes with low impact. This class can be done with or without shoes. And with the full or partial support of a chair.
More information about how YOU can get involved coming in September!​
