Matthews, Gigi – Yoga for Craftspeople

My name is Gigi Matthews and I taught yoga at MAFA 2019. As a spinner, knitter, and weaver, I know that crafting is wonderful but it can take a toll on the body.

It’s particularly suitable for people who have never exercised before, seniors, and those with mobility or weight issues.
My classes help to counteract the effects of prolonged sitting, poor posture, and neck stress.
