“Recovery Yoga originated from my work with pro-athletes to aid recovery and prevent injury caused by repetitive sport-specific training. Now, I use it with people from all walks of life, especially those who don't think they can do yoga. In my classes, you will learn how to cultivate a deep connection to your breath, increase flexibility, improve range of motion as well as relax, recharge and significantly reduce stress. All levels welcome, no experience necessary.”
