Join HereImprove your performance, recover smarter, and reduce your risk of injury.
Tired of feeling tight, sore, or like you're always managing a potential setback?
If you're stuck in the cycle of chronic tightness, slow recovery, or nagging injuries that keep coming back,
You're not alone.
This is for long-time yogis and everyday athletes who may be newer to yoga or haven't practiced in a a while.
Whether you run, walk, hike, bike, lift, row... This for everyone who wants to move better and recover faster from any type of workout.
This series gives your body what it’s been missing: mobility, stability, and recovery—so you can keep showing up feeling strong and ready to go.
Feel the difference by the final class
By the time this series wraps up, you will be moving with more ease and recovering faster — instead of feeling stuck in the same tight cycle.

Here’s what you’ll walk (or run) away with:
🏃♀️ Stronger, more resilient muscles - Mobility and stability practices targeting your hips, glutes, and hamstrings — no flexibility required.
📉 Better breathing, better endurance - Simple breath work techniques to expand lung capacity and calm your nervous system.
⌚ Faster recovery between workouts: Each session ends with Yoga Nidra, which supports your nervous system and helps your body heal while you rest.
🙌 The support of a community that gets it — who understand the highs and lows of training
No need to be bendy or flexy. These are practices designed to meet your body where it is.
You'll walk away moving better, recovering faster, and feeling more grounded in your training.
Nine in-person sessions to support your training and help you recover smarter.
You don’t have to wait weeks to feel the difference — after the very first class, you’ll notice looser hips, easier breathing, and a simple recovery tool you can use that same night.

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 20 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 in stillness.
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.
Nine in-person sessions to support your training and help you recover smarter.

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 key muscles so you can move with ease.
- This is a comprehensive session designed for the everyday athlete to keep you training longer, stronger and injury-free.
