Welcome to my Race Day Ready Workshop – This half-day workshop is designed by runners, for runners, offering a unique blend of physical activity, mindset strength practices and a plant-based nourishing meal provided by Green Label Kitchen.

This workshop prepares you mentally and physically for your upcoming running event including a vinyasa yoga session aimed for runners to bring strength and mobility into your routine. I partnered with the wonderful Grace, a yoga teacher and ultra runner herself. So you’re going to be well prepared and confident for your challenge. The best part: We’ll be putting theory into practice and going for a trail run with your race day gear.

But the Race Day Ready Workshop is more than just about physical & mental practices – it's about fostering a supportive community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for running and personal growth.
