“Using Yoga Pre- and Post-Weight Loss Surgery as Part of Your Healthy Post Op Life” - with Guest: Connie Stapleton, Ph. D

1 hour 3 minutes

Whether you are new to yoga or an elite enthusiast, join us to gain increased knowledge from Connie, our Yoga trainer. Yoga can play an important role in your weight loss journey as it is light enough for beginners or people who have issues with mobility, but can still help with toning muscles, flexibility and support excellent breathing habits that improve other physical exercises. In this segment, we will emphasize those benefits, talk about the essentials to include with your routine, show some incredibly beneficial stretches to use in your daily routine (at your desk/office), walk you thru some stress relief breathing exercises, and then link you to 3 full yoga segments pre-recorded for you to try post this event!
