National
Paralysis Resource Center Partners to Support Adaptive
Fitness
The National Paralysis
Resource Center (operated by the Christopher
and Dana Reeve Foundation) has launched a new
partnership with Kakana to offer free adaptive fitness
opportunities people living with paralysis.
Kakana is a groundbreaking streaming fitness platform
designed to be inclusive and accessible.
Kakana (meaning bold, determined, daring and
courageous) was created to offer intense and engaging
fitness classes both live and on-demand, to people of all
abilities. The inclusive and unique platform also includes
fitness instructors with disabilities to guide the audience
through each workout.
The new partnership kicked off in February, with an educational webinar featuring
Kakana Instructor Jesi Stracham, Reeve Foundation's PRC
Program Coordinator TJ Griffin, Para-Powerlifter Garrison
Redd, Team USA Wheelchair Rugby Chuck Aoki, and Kakana’s
Founder Matt Ney.
This new collaboration is part of the PRC's efforts to expand
the availability of inclusive, accessible physical fitness
opportunities. Register
and learn more.
