Join us Tuesday, March 3, at Centriq Training, 1740 W 92nd St KCMO, to learn about Core Balance Yoga Retreats.

Core Balance believes that yoga is TRANSFORMATIONAL…and so is TRAVEL! When you combine these two, magic awaits. Core Balance Yoga has brought students all over the globe…from Bali, Italy, to Greece, France, Africa, Belize, the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica. Come explore a recent retreat to Belize, and learn about upcoming opportunities.

We’ll have snacks and socializing at 6:30pm, followed by a short meeting and our presentation at 7pm. Hope to see you there!

When: Tues, March 3,  6:30 pm

Where: Centriq Training 1740 W 92nd St., KCMO

Many members train for specific goals or events with the Sat Walk & Run Groups. From time to time, we offer additional training opportunities. We are adding an opportunity for a run or walk on Tuesday evenings (except for First Tuesday meeting nights). Women of all ages and abilities are welcome. Go your own pace and as far as you would like. We will meet at 6:30pm in March.

Volunteer for the 2026 Mother’s Day 5K!

We are not sure who has more fun at the KC Express Mother’s Day 5K, the participants or the volunteers! Sign up, show up, bring a friend or a loved one, and enjoy yourself. Though we’ve gone virtual for 2026, we still have opportunities to volunteer! It only takes a few hours of your time, and it is GREATLY appreciated by the KC Express, as well as the women and girls who come to the event. Thank you so much for your time, energy and commitment to make this morning so fun for all! Remember, men and boys can volunteer, too (they just can’t run in the race). 

Check out the list of jobs and sign up at https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/712515644082/false#/invitation. We can’t wait to see you there!
