Hi and welcome to Kendra Fitzgerald Yoga! Here you will find a range of support in your body mechanics and overall body function.
I'll give you full length workouts, tips and support!
Pelvic floor health, osteoporosis friendly workouts, diastas recti repair and overall women's health is what you will find here. Plus a little more of the fun stuff like postpartum abs and deep core workouts.
HOW you work out is just as important as how OFTEN you do it.
Workout Well!

A community member asked a great question this week, and I thought it might be helpful for everyone to hear the answer!
Q: What if your hip makes a popping sound every time you bend?
My A:
This is an excellent question. Hip popping is often a question of alignment within the hips. If the upper leg bone (the femur) is sitting to far forward or up in the hip ball-and-socket, you can get popping in the hip when you try to extend the leg forward (or in your case, bending at the hips!), because your leg bone is running into your hip bone.
Repetitive popping is defniitely something we want to look at because it's like rubbing a rock on a rope. Eventually...you get wear and tear.
A couple quick things you can try:
- Look at your hip position when you bend - if you tip your pelvis more forward or back, does the popping change?
- Look at the angle of your upper leg bone. If your feet are turned out when you bend over (and then maybe your upper leg is also turned out), either could create popping as well.
Would it be helpful if I made a video about this, with some exercises / movements to try?

Great news friends! After 20 years of wanting to get my Massage Therapy License, I'm FINALLY starting back to school in September! This Massage Therapy License will be in addition to all the Corrective Exercise work that I do, and YOU will benefit because I plan on making more videos about self-massage and self-care techniques to help you feel strong and pain-free.
I'll be sharing some of the fun and fascinating things I learn about the human body here in the community, and in upcoming videos too.
Thank you for being a part of this community, and along this journey with me!! <3

I'm sad to share the news that my sweet cat Dusty, who appeared in a lot of my videos, passed away this morning. He was 15 and struggled with diabetes and a heart condition for over a year. He'll live on forever in his video appearances here, and in the many memories we were able to create over the last 15 years.
He was such a sweet cat and I'm heartbroken. (It's also the reason there has been a lull in my posting schedule this week. Please know more videos are coming again soon.) <3

Hi everyone!
Checking in here on a Wednesday, to see how you're liking the most recent videos I've been uploading? They are meant to be progressive-strength building, so they start at absolute beginner and we're working our way up in intensity. I'd love to hear your feedback! (And even more videos are coming!)

To my friends practicing with the osteoporosis workouts and yoga practices...
I know many of you have been practicing with me daily for YEARS (so exciting!), and I would love to know if you've had any interesting bone scan changes since practicing together. VOTE below!
This is not a scientific study but it would be really cool to know (and share with others seeking a natural way to improve their bone density).

Hi Friends!
I love spending time with this community and answering the great questions you all have in the comments section. This channel might be small, but the community is mighty!
It got me thinking - would you enjoy a monthly live discussion with me, here on YouTube? We could all come together in a live video and I can answer questions and maybe do a training on a topic that you vote on beforehand.
Let me know if that's something you'd like to see here!
