"I LOVE the Y! It's my second home. At Morrison and/or Saraβs Y, I take two classes every day, between Cardio Strength Low Impact, Zumba, Barre, Pilates, Group Power, Stretch and Core Strength."
"I want to stay active and healthy for as long as I can, so I can continue to enjoy life with my husband, children, and grandchildren. At the age of 74 I have no aches, pains, nor limitations, so I, with the help of the Y, must be doing something right!"

"My advice is to try all the different classes and/or equipment the Y has to offer. Some youβll love and some you wonβt but take the time and make the effort to find what works for you. Donβt be intimidated, we all started out as new members. No one will be watching to see what you do or donβt do β our eyes are on the instructor. Do what you can and eventually everything will fall into place, and youβll be a healthier version of your former self."

I have become close personal friends with so many members, instructors, and employees at the Y. We share lots of laughs and always have a good time in our classes. Our instructors are knowledgeable, fun, caring and give us a solid workout. They are all the reason I belong to the Y! π

βSometimes we are met with situations in life that no text book can fix.β βKatie Shaughnessy
_____________________________________
"In 2016, Sarah, Katie's Daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia. She soon discovered that no textbook could fix this type of situation as it was out of her hands. With a diagnosis such as this, there is so much uncertainty that comes along with it.
Along this journey, Katie began her time with us, at the Morrison Family YMCA, serving in our Preschool department for 6 years. While going through one of the hardest and darkest periods of her life, with her daughter, Katie discovered that Yoga was the path that could help her to discover the peace, strength, and safety of an even mind.
Katie was first introduced to yoga back in college, but practiced on and off for many years before really becoming consistent and dedicated, including taking classes at the Y.
As she progressed, she wanted to share with others how yoga was instrumental to her in helping navigate one of the most difficult periods of her life. Which ultimately led Katie to become a Yoga Instructor: so that she could share her passion and help others understand and experience the benefits of the mind, body, spirit connection.
After many years of teaching and training, Katie has recently attained her 500 hour yoga credential, and is one of our most sought out Yoga Instructors at Morrison and the Saraβs Y.
She truly embodies what yoga is all about, itβs much more than just the physical poses as it is deeply rooted in spirituality.
It has been a pleasure to watch her grow and thrive as a Yoga Instructor. I am happy to report that Katieβs daughter, Sarah, is a healthy and happy senior at Marvin Ridge High School today. She will be graduating May '23!π"
This weeks Staff Member Spotlight has been delivered on behalf of Donna Clem, our District Group Fitness Director and as we hold Katie near and dear to our hearts π let's continue to celebrate her and all of her amazing work as a Mother and Instructor.

Exciting news! Starting Monday, February 6th, our Dee Dee Harris Program Access Center will be OPEN!
