“Since undergoing treatment for Breast Cancer I have struggled with Lymphedema, scar tissue, cording, and fibrosis/fusion that severely affects the use of my right arm, and my range of motion. I have spent countless hours at PT and seeing Drs trying to improve and get relief. I was told this was as good as it gets and I accepted that it must be the case. Travis led me through one session( so far) of Flexibility coaching focusing on the shoulders and chest. It was an immensely positive experience. He thoroughly explained every move, encouraging me along the way, and reminding me to focus on the breathing pattern. I could feel tension start to release the longer I held the pose. It was very grounding, I was able to be fully present in my body, allowing my mind a much needed break from the daily stresses of past and future worries. By the time the session was over I felt really good! In the morning upon waking I found I was able to reach my arm up higher and with significantly less pain to grab my coffee cup. While this may seem to be minor to some, to me, this was monumental. This has given me great hope. I cannot speak more highly of Travis. He is a phenomenal instructor and extraordinary human being. I absolutely will be attending more of his classes and recommend them to all of my family and friends.”

“Beverly Bouma is such a pleasure to take classes from. She’s energetic, dedicated and switches up workouts to meet the needs of the class. She quickly points out modifications so that each workout is accessible to many levels of students that attend class. I cannot believe that this woman gets up before 6am just to be ready to teach a 9am class, but that is the dedication she brings to her students as an example of a wonderful person and stellar instructor!!”

“I feel strong, I feel more balanced, I feel more flexible, and most of all, I know I can do so much more than I was able to do a year ago.”

“Travis is a very knowledgeable instructor who understands that every person has their own skill and ability level. His Science of Stretching program is tough, but definitely a program that allows you see benefits in your flexibility. Modifications are encouraged in order to allow for optimized mechanics, leading to more benefit. Whether it’s stretching or DDPY, Travis is a definite rock star. Did I mention, he has some pretty sweet playlists too!”

“Sustaining any exercise regime over a longer period can be quite an undertaking but instructor Beverly Bouma makes it that much easier to maintain. Beverly brings fresh, new, creative moves and sequences to her workouts which in turn gives rise to more interesting and challenging classes. With an abundance of cues and words of encouragement, she promotes modifications, always stressing that “It’s your workout. Make it your own.” As a Level 2 DDPY instructor, she is well versed in how to achieve the most from each position while providing hints to obtain a deeper stretch or added dynamic resistance. And, with her geographical position on the west coast, her early 6:00 am classes in PST time, allow for participation throughout various early morning time zones across the country. Beverly’s amusing dialogue and positive affirmations has me looking forward to the next “Twisted Tuesday” or her more stretchy Thursday sessions.”

“After yesterday’s session [with Marcel] I was pain free (NO right hip and lower back pain) for the first night in weeks! The magic is working! Thanks again for your passion and commitment to keeping us all moving and pain free.”

“I have been practicing yoga with Travis since October 2019. I live in a world of chronic back pain and not one doctor can find a solution. Travis's DDPY and Science of Stretching classes are the only relief I get for my pain. Not only does Travis have a wide variety of classes for all fitness levels, but he continues to provide new opportunities for his students. Travis is open to answering my questions and is a delight to have as an instructor! I'd recommend his classes over any other yoga program! Travis is the best!”

“I had no energy and could not even do one push up. Cancer took care of being overweight and in fact my weight was too low. I had no muscle tone and was depressed. Marcel got me thinking in a different way about exercise and nutrition. I have come long way from where I started. I feel extremely fortunate to know Dr. Marcel Doré and cannot thank him enough for helping me get back on my feet and stay on track.”

“Travis is a phenomenal instructor and so worth every minute of time you get to spend in a class! He is so giving and works with any ability level. All are welcomed and we always have such a fun time!”
