We use fun, neur-centric, natural movement to help people feel good, learn more, and do what they most desire! *LIFEKour Academy is a program of Eudaimonia Human Flourishing Center.
Philosophy
Countless studies have shown that regular physical activity can improve mood, brain function, alertness, energy and even memory; as well as decrease the risk of contracting many diseases, such as heart disease or type 2 diabetes, but who wants to spend countless hours a week forcing themselves to trudge through the same old dull workout routines? Not us! LIFEKour classes are designed to be fun! Combining cutting-edge neurological and sport science research with a variety of modalities we improve range of motion, strength, stamina, and agility; reduce or eliminate pain and learn to move as fluidly and efficiently as possible.
Vision
To inspire movement as a lifelong passion; teaching you how to improve and maintain your physical health, empowering you to flourish in body, mind, and spirit.
Mission
To bring people together in skills that normalized movement and play in everyday life, developing strengths to overcome obstacles and face challenges.
