Cottonwood Hot Yoga

Founder Jennifer Richards began hot yoga in 2007 in Phoenix as a way to lose weight and heal her spine of budging discs and arthritis. Hot yoga make such a difference in the way she felt and looked she knew she this would be a life long practice. After moving back to Sedona in 2009, there was no way to practice hot yoga because there were no studios locally. She began gaining weight and her spine became so bad she was put on bed rest and told surgery was the only option. Refusing to give us she decided to open a studio herself in hopes it would not only heal her body but would help many in the community who also needed help. After 4 years of helping the Sedona community and fully healing her own spine she opened the Cottonwood location along with a Healthy fast food restaurant called Wholesome Fast Food. Her highest joy comes from serving others.
