Prevent injuries and improve your speed!
Dr. Kennedy will video you running from all directions, then use software to apply lines and angles to review with you. She will instruct you in drills to help your running efficiency, shock absorption and reduce impact to your joints. Then you can check back in and see on video how much you have improved! This is excellent for walkers and hikers as well.

Katie provides verbal and hands-on instruction to elevate your Yoga practice to the next level. She will help you:

Breathe expanding your ribcage and abdomen evenly 360 degrees around. This provides “intra-abdominal pressure,” which stabilizes your lower back. It is your internal “back brace.”
Controlled movements, maintaining your joints centered, spinning “on-axis.” This strengthens the “rotator cuffs” of the shoulder AND hip. (Did you know you have hip rotator cuffs? They are your deep hip rotators: piriformis, gemelli, obturators, and quadratus deep bottomus. Anyone catch that?).
You will leave with a strong & long body, feeling revived!
