Mobility + Stability + Recovery so you can keep showing up feeling strong and ready to go.
You don’t have to wait weeks to feel the difference
After the very first class, you’ll notice looser hips, easier breathing, and have tools you can use right away.

Hi, I'm Donna
I’m a lifelong runner, yogi, and active-living enthusiast. A 500-hour certified yoga teacher and former host of Yoga for Runners on Rogers TV, I’ve spent over 25 years helping everyday athletes stay strong, mobile, and injury-free.
I’ve trained hundreds of people - runners, walkers, hikers, bikers, and folks who just feel a little creaky - and I know what your body needs to feel better in motion and at rest.
This series brings it all together: strength, mobility, and mind-body recovery in one supportive space, no fluff, no pressure, just exactly what your routine has been missing.
Your Hips Will Thank You 🙌

A few things that make these classes unique:
- Each class finishes with 10-15 minutes of guided recovery. This is done through Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation done lying down using pillows and blankets for support. It is a gift for your nervous system and an amazing tool for runners to relieve tension in your body and speed recovery.
- The focus is on mobility and stability instead of flexibility. Building control through a full range of motion and strengthening core muscles so you can move with ease.
- This is a comprehensive session designed for the everyday athlete to keep you training longer, move with ease and help you stay injury-free.
