If there is one thing you should know about Woodside, a Kansas City wellness center, it’s that working out and exercising is only scratching the surface of what they have to offer. Relaxation is the other side of the wellness coin, as resting and recovering our bodies after a workout is just as important as the time spent exercising.

Meditation & Yoga Classes
When most people think of fitness classes, their minds jump to traditional routines such as cycling or aerobics. While these options are wonderful and are great exercise, from time to time, we need help settling down and getting our thoughts organized and squared away, especially when things get hectic.
Woodside features a range of yoga classes, starting from beginners and working on up. Practicing yoga is a great way to alleviate tension that weighs on both the body and the mind by improving flexibility and teaching controlled breathing.
As part of their signature series program, they offer a class called MEDITATION | REST®. It is designed by Jona Genova and is designed to boost mindfulness and correct the energetic patterning that keeps you up. With the aid and support of intuitively selected healing crystals, you can truly experience an intentional state of rest.
