Shakin' it for Hope

Be Touched

Talk about using your "money maker"!  How about for an orphan with special needs?  Last night an incredible group gathered together at International Fitness to use their booty-shaking abilities for a great cause.  We had young and old, every color of the rainbow, all different body types, come together and help raise both funds and awareness for a local family.  The Horton family has adopted 6 special needs children, many through Reece's Rainbow.  Hope will be the 7th, Lord willing.

Hope is a precious 7 year old who desperately needs a family. Hope has poly-malformative syndrome; Infantile cerebral palsy – spastic quadric paresis to severe degree; Symptomatic epilepsy; Pseudo-bulbar paresis; Impossible gait; Cleft lip and cleft palate; Congenital cardiac malformation – intervalvular defect, hemodynamically insignificant; Delay in the neuro-psychical development.

Hope doesn’t walk, doesn’t talk, and eats through a tube. The correction of the cleft lip and palate is not finished. When talked to, she turns her head to the direction of the sound. She is put in a special verticalizer for longer periods of time. She holds up a toy put in her hand and manipulates with it for a short time. She reaches out to a hanging toy if it has attracted her interest; she pats it and shakes it. Hope pronounces quiet vowels sometimes to express positive emotions. She demonstrates emotional reactions with non-verbal means. She follows the movements of the adult with a look and by turning her head and makes long eye contact. She smiles when talked to and to tactile stimulation on her hands and cheeks, but only to some adults.

Isn't This an Original Idea?

“PulsePDX, Portland's premiere dance fitness experience was founded in 2011 to provide Zumba® Fitness in a unique dance club setting. Since then we've expanded our class offerings to include exciting new formats like Pound Rockout Workout®, Bamboo Bodies™, U-Jam Fitness®, and the Melt Method®. We have rounded out the studio's class schedule with innovative and unique classes like Burn and Fusion which provide strength and repair elements to encourage a more complete health routine for our students. Still not sure? Just stop by our location, centrally located just off I-84 on Sandy in the Hollywood district, and see for yourself why Pulse is going to be your very next favorite place to get fit and have fun.”

It’s  a night club.  No, it’s an art gallery.  Wait!  It’s a fitness studio!

Portland, OR is known for being “weird”.  It’s cool, chic, and different!  This studio is unique, from its dance club vibe, to its art riddled lobby, to its state of the art Group Fitness classes!  They provide an amazing assortment of classes and I am not surprised that they wanted to add PiYo LIVE to their repertoire. 

As their Master Trainer, I felt right at home among the art and the fitness and the fun!
