Kamloops Bc Finds A Fresh Fitness Approach

Kamloops, BC April 6, 2010 – The fitness focused town of Kamloops, BC is receiving a new twist on working out with a program that uses powerful exercise and the soothing health benenfits of yoga.

Starting May 3rd, yoga instructor Katrina Ariel is going to be training women of all sizes and abilities in a boot camp that has been referred to as an empowering approach to ideal fitness.

This different boot camp system boosts the choices for women who live in Kamloops to get inspired and get in shape for the hot summer months of shorts and bathing suits, and promises an approach that brings balance to the hard core challenge that the majority of boot camps utilize to acquire results with the positive aspects of yoga.

Teacher Katrina Ariel states she was inspired by the swift changes and strength increase she got from engaging in a boot camp while visiting family down in the city of New Orleans, and was inspired to make her own variation of the well-liked boot camp program. "I think everyone enjoys working out a lot more when it's fun and feels good, and I find the sequence of building strength through fitness exercises and then immediately doing a yoga practice brings out the benefits of both that much more, said Katrina.

The camp is run out of Let’s Move Studio, which is located up near Thompson Rivers University, and offers a commanding view of the valley. That's a very good thing for participants, because the camp meets at the early hour of 5:30 in the morning, so the view will provide members something special to enjoy.

“It’s early,” Katrina agrees, “but what makes it so great is that by the time you're done at 6:30 you have a huge sense of accomplishment realizing you’ve already gotten in an incredible workout, and so many other people haven't even rolled out of bed.” She also explains that working out first thing in the morning is the most effective way to give a boost to your metabolism.

The boot camp includes a dynamic variety of exercises that combine a wide range of fitness exercises and yoga poses. Participating women will spend part of each class outside in the clean morning air, and conclude with the yoga portion in the comfort and calming environment of the studio. Showers are accessible for participants to clean the sweat off after the challenging class, lending a new definition to the idea of having a fresh, clean start to the day.

Katrina Ariel offers a variety of yoga classes at Let’s Move and Ladies Only, as well as offering private yoga therapy sessions and yoga workshops. To find out more or to register for the boot camp, go to Kamloops Fitness or email gaiayoga@*.
