Hey there, fellow movement seekers!
Trust me, I've been there. As a neurodivergent woman who has dealt with chronic pain and fatigue, I know how frustrating it can be to feel left out or misunderstood in traditional exercise settings.
That's why I'm beyond excited to share these movement classes with you.
These aren't your typical yoga or fitness classes – they're a breath of fresh air for those of us who need a more tailored, understanding approach to movement.
