Sandy Gross Discusses Yoga and Being a Wonder Woman Role Model for Her Daughters
Do you think you're too old to make major changes in your life to feel and look your absolute best? Sandy Gross is in her 50's and has tossed aside the idea that she's too old to achieve her health and fitness goals. She's a fierce role model for her daughters and leads by example in regards to fitness and nutrition.
Sandy has spent the majority of her life fascinated with the human body. She uses rehabilitative techniques, functional strength training and self therapies including yoga and SMFR (self-myofascial release) as the core of her toolbox to help people better understand and resolve their own pain, prevent injury and to live with greater self confidence at any age.
