We had the good fortune of connecting with Kay Vargas and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kay, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important is to build trust with the people that follow you! You also need to be real and vulnerable! Just be yourself!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I teach yoga, sculpt, and Hiit at Ritual One. I also help manage the studio. I teach lagree at Sculpthouse. I also have clients that I personal train. I believe what really sets me apart is that I truly make people feel seen and loved in my classes! I always want to be their little piece of joy for the day! I am always ready to learn more and be a better instructor! I push myself out of my comfort zone always.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take them to Javiers for sure! Have to grab a lunch at Mi Cocina! Shop in Highland Park Villiage! Go workout at Ritual One. Get dinner at Fachini! Never can miss a good meal at Al Biernets or Parigi! Go walk around Whiterock Lake. Get a coffee at Villiage bakery and walk the Katy Trsil!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My Dad…he lives his best life…continually growing and learning still at 83! He serves others daily, walks every morning, lives a healthy lifestyle! Plus has always believed in me!

Honestly all the people that have taken my classes. They inspire me to always do better!
