Pride 2026 🏳️‍🌈

NCA x Pace x Heart Fire Yoga are coming together again this year for Buffalo Pride!

On Sunday, June 7th, we’ll be marching in the Buffalo Pride Parade: loud, proud, and united.

At a time when LGBTQIA+ rights, safety, and visibility continue to be challenged, Pride is more than a celebration. It’s about showing up for our athletes, our members, our coaches, our friends, and our community. It’s about creating spaces where people feel safe to exist fully and authentically as themselves.

We move together, we celebrate together, and we stand together.

Stay tuned for more details on Pride 2026 shirts and donation based classes in the week leading up to the pride parade. All profits will donated to the “Buffalo-Niagara LGBTQ History Project”, an organization dedicated to preserving and uplifting LGBTQIA+ history in Western New York.

We can’t wait to march, sweat, and celebrate with you ✨

Heavy on the “strong like mom” 💜

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms of NCA! Thank you for showing us every single day what real strength looks like…not just in the gym, but in the way you lead, support, care for, and show up for the people around you.

You’re also the reason so many other women realize they can take up space, lift heavy, and be strong too.

We also recognize that today can feel complicated, heavy, or painful for many people. Sending extra love to anyone who needs it today 🤍

Officially official! Strength & Mobility Flow with Coach now has a permanent spot on the schedule: Every Tuesday @ 6pm!

This is where you work on the stuff that actually makes everything else better:
–Mind-muscle connection
–Stability and control through full range
–Breathing and positional awareness
–Strength in deeper positions (not just the “easy” ones)
–Midline work that carries over to your lifts and your bodyweight movements!

Expect a slower, more intentional pace. Yoga-style warm up, targeted strength, and both loaded + unloaded mobility work.

Spots are limited…it’s been waitlisted every week for a reason 👀🔥
