Circulation to the torso, head, neck, and brain is improved. Inversions also increase immunity. Lymph moves throughout the body via muscular contraction and gravity. When the body is upside down, it is much easier for lymph to travel and do it’s job- get rid of toxins. Throughout this session we will play and prepare the body to access to these positions safely and effectively. All levels welcome!

Preschoolers will have a blast running their very own “triathlon”, and you will have even more fun cheering them on! Just like a traditional triathlon, kids will start off pedaling their way through the bike course, they will then transition to the running portion and will conclude their triathlon with a “swim” (actually a dash through a water obstacle course!) as they head to the finish line to receive their medal. Every participant is REQUIRED to bring a bike (tricycles accepted too) and a helmet for this event. No bikes larger than 16 inches please. Each participant will receive an official Mighty Tikes Triathlon T-Shirt and Medal.

Parents don’t forget to bring your cameras and video cameras - you won’t want to miss out on catching that award winning moment.
