Fitness is for EVERY body of EVERY ability! We could scream from the top of our lungs louder how much we love this if we tried!  Fitness Magazine recently told the story of Yulissa Arescurenaga, a 24-year old woman who recently started teaching Zumba classes. The kicker? Yulissa has Down Syndrome.  Ever since her first class in 2008, this dynamic young woman has been obsessed with the dance-based fitness style. She studied for six years, logging over six hours a day to memorize routines and prepare herself.... And, in 2012, she became a licensed Zumba instructor! 

Originally from California, this in-demand teacher regularly offers class in San Francisco. Recently, she traveled to Alaska to teach at the National Down Syndrome Congress. Here are three things we LOVE about her story
