About Us

Ky Russell, M.A.

Mindful Fitness Researcher, Educator, and Trainer

Hi I’m Ky, and I am here to help you care for yourself with all of the energy you put into caring for others! If you are like most of my clients and readers you devote the majority of your energy and focus into caring for your family, clients, and causes you support. I have coached hundreds of women (and men) to integrate mindful workouts and stress relief techniques into their busy, stressful lives – helping them feel amazing and energized! Most importantly, these fabulous people became free to actively and enthusiastically live life on their terms, something that I desire for you too.

As a busy working mom I understand how challenging it can be to give yourself even a moment to focus on your needs. That's why I developed my mind and body fitness de-stress system. Effective and efficient courses and workouts that give more vitality, focus, strength, and endurance.

Through my work as a Master Pilates teacher trainer, kinesiologist, dancer, and yogi I have dedicated myself to honing my craft as a world-class trainer, researcher, and educator. I currently teach as faculty at San José State University and for my Connected to the Core Community. Please check out my blog (and upcoming podcast) for my latest insights and current research on stress management, mindfulness, biomechanics, and exercise.

I look forward to sharing and working with you. I believe that the care we give to ourselves lays the foundation for all the loving care we can give to others. The world needs us to access and spread our love and compassion for ourselves and each other (and to have as much fun as possible while doing so)! To help you get started here is a free guide to make every workout a core workout with strategies to connect your core when it's needed.

Much love friend,

Ky
