Fitfulness for kids
Cross Training • Yoga • Meditation
Fitfulness is the foundation of a healthy life 🌳
Yous teaches Fitfulness; the intersection of fitness and mindfulness
We’ve seen amazing progress with my high energy 4 year old. The concept is unique and really allows for training the body and mind in an effective and efficient way. Thank you for bringing the power of Fitfulness to our family!

Cross Training ⚡
Yous starts every class by making fitness fun! Your child will play in developmentally-appropriate games while learning teamwork, foundational exercises (running, jumping, burpees, planks, etc.), and proper form. The consistency of programming nurtures positive body awareness, the habit of exercise, strengthens cardio and introduces the concept of perseverance with a supportive and knowledgable guide.
Yoga 🙏
Following the energetic and heart stimulating stage, the class participates in recovery activities. Kids love yoga at Yous! It’s engaging and challenging for all ages. Our yoga lessons include restful restorative postures followed by an active yoga series. Your child will learn about breath, flexibility, different series of postures and calming the mind.
Mindfulness 🪷
Finally, your child will learn how to practice mindfulness. Mindfulness is recognized as one of the best ways to bring calm and focus to center and internalize development. Each class closes with savasana and meditation. Meditation comes naturally to kids and it improves their focus, awareness, and meta-cognition.
After School
Yous provides after school activities from 3:00pm-6:00pm at Trinity Memorial Church near 22nd & Spruce St. Students will burn off their after school energy with some Fitfulness games then wind down before going home with time for schoolwork, play, and meditation.
Schools, Events, & Private Lessons
Yous partners with local schools to provide in-school classes, as well as families and community members for birthday parties, block parties, and even private lessons. Would you like Yous to attend your next event or offer classes for your school? Send us a message!
Meet the founder
Pete is a grounded, innovative, individual who is kind, curious, thoughtful, genuine, responsible, flexible, can think on his toes, and is observant. All of the qualities you need when planning and implementing programming for children.
- Gillian Stickney Swann, Director, Beacon Center for Children
Born & raised in the USA, in 2016 Pete was an avid cross-fitter living in New Zealand when he realized that yoga could help him become more well rounded in body and mind. It was then he began his study at an Iyengar School of Yoga, learning the fundamentals of yogic form, technique, and yogic life. Even still, he felt there were deeper aspects of himself that could be reached; a year later, in Australia, he began practicing meditation through ten day silent courses.
Over time, Pete realized that combined these three practices; cross training, yoga, and meditation - could be greater than the sum of their parts. This gave birth to Fitfulness, the foundational teaching of Yous. While Pete is maintaining a fitful life, he is also hard at work building a dynamic curriculum that makes Fitfulness, and all its long-term health benefits, fun and engaging for all ages.
