A Work In Progress is a 501(c)(3) Community Collaboration Yoga Studio in Salina, Kansas
Movement is an essential part of physical, as well as mental, health. Because we already carry our bodyweight around, learning new ways to support ourselves, in our own bodies, using our own weight is a very effective way to exercise and gain physical strength. Bodyweight movement can be gentle or stimulating for all shapes and sizes and comes in vigorous, challenging sequences as well as slow-moving, controlled use of muscle strength.
A Work In Progress admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin. It is our highest priority to provide yoga and movement classes to any and everyone who is interested in attending. We will do anything to encourage you to attend, even make memberships free or at a discounted rate if necessary. If you don’t have money contribute, just let us know, we want you to attend class no matter what.
If you would like to plan a yoga or movement class in your home or venue please contact us.
Every man, woman, and child deserves opportunities to enhance their own health and well being through movement and yoga. We have made it our mission to provide those opportunities to all who are able to attend.
VEAZEY NEVITT
Why do you practice yoga regularly?
Yoga AND movement show me the path to all possibilities. These are the things that amaze and continuously inspire me. These are the things that make my life worth living, the things that fuel my desire to grow, and the things that expand my mind.
How has yoga changed your life?
My yoga practice has forced me to wake up and it continues to keep me awake. Had I never found yoga, I imagine I’d still be an unconscious zombie, completely unaccountable for my thoughts, words, and actions living without a purpose and dreaming without actually acting on those dreams.

COURTNEY TRAIN
Why do you practice yoga regularly?
As my physical exercise, self-care, and spiritual practice, yoga is my lifeline. I practice yoga regularly to slow down and release tension. Yoga allows me to be present, grounded, playful, curious and mindful. I teach yoga to share its gifts of peace, patience, self-exploration, and mental and physical growth.

MARI CARLSON
Why do you practice yoga regularly?
Yoga takes me to a place where I don’t have to think. My yoga meets me where I am, in the present moment. Yoga is so much more than a physical practice to me, but I make time for my mat every week because I love how it makes me feel.
How has yoga changed your life?
My yoga journey began in 2013, at a time when I needed it the most. When I first started my practice, it all felt so foreign to me but I kept going back again and again because it made me feel like I could breathe again. I am constantly inspired by my own growth and share my journey in hopes to inspire others. Yoga completely shifted my perspective on life and gave me a sense of peace and purpose. Since then, I have dedicated my practice to healing myself and helping others.

KYLEE CAMPION
Why do you practice yoga regularly?
I practice yoga regularly because I love the way it leaves me. I feel relaxed but energetic, peaceful and in tune with myself. There is no other feeling like it.
How has yoga changed your life?
It has changed my life in so many ways. I used to feel stiffness, fatigue, and I would never make it to the gym. Now, my body feels great and I hold myself accountable to show up for me. My Tribe inspires me, and I inspire myself to keep pushing and keep moving.

HEIDI MCCREADY
Why do you practice yoga regularly?
I practice yoga regularly because it brings so much comfort and stability to my life. Every class is uniquely different, yet the fundamentals are the same. I relish the way it cleanses my mind and refreshes my body in every session. It takes me to a place only accessible when the mind and body connect, and I’m able to focus only on me. There is no other place I can improve my welfare while still connecting with others.
How has yoga changed your life?
Yoga has changed my life in many positive ways. I have discovered more of “me”, while learning to embrace the imperfections of not only myself, but of others. Yoga is more than movement, it is a self-study that awakens the soul to what has been hibernating deep inside. I was never aware of all that existed inside me. I feel so much lighter, yet more grounded than ever.

LEAH WILSON
Why do you practice yoga regularly?
It helps me stay sane and makes me feel good. I love the physical and mental benefits I gain from yoga and am always a little bit happier and lighter after finishing a practice. I love that there is no judgement on the mat and that I can do what feels right for my body at the time and don’t have to worry about keeping up with anyone else. It just makes me happy!
How has yoga changed your life?
It has given me a purpose (outside of being a mom), something to work on and to challenge myself both mentally and physically. It has helped me stay focused in life and to slow down and breath. Yoga opened me up and made me want to share its awesomeness with others. I have met so many wonderful people along my yoga journey and that in itself has changed my life!
