Testimonials

I noticed a change and a feeling of relief quite instantly after the first couple warm ups and sessions I did with Dana. Not only did I feel freedom in my torso and hips, I almost felt like I was maybe a little taller, which might be hard to believe as I’m already 6’7. These controlled breaths and movements were making a big impact on my posture. It has changed the way I prepare each day and each game I play.

I met Dana when I was 18 and fresh into baseball. She was not only extremely smart but also understanding of what I needed. Since then, she has been a constant in my offseason and pregame routines, and I owe her a lot of credit for keeping my muscles loose and limber.

I had the privilege of getting to work with Dana Santas for the first time during 2019 Spring Training with the Philadelphia Phillies. I will forever appreciate the impact that Dana’s mobility program has had on my baseball career. Not only has it helped me in my athletic performance and overall health, it’s also helped me gain a reputation as a good mover amongst the other teams I have played for. The movement principles I learned from Dana are implemented into my life daily and I look forward to expanding those principles with her Better Baseball Mobility Program!

Dana’s techniques in restoring breathing mechanics and motor behavior enable tactical athletes to address all levels of stress management and movement to enhance operators’ mental and skill-specific training.

Dana is a phenomenal coach with diverse expertise in all aspects of performance training. Whether identifying individual athlete needs or determining overall essentials based on the demands of the sport, Dana is able to incorporate her drills efficiently and effectively. This is what makes her one of the absolute best!

Dana has the ability to work with coaches and connect with athletes to create sustainable, self-sufficient programs. Every day, I observe our athletes utilizing her programs in the weight room, because – simply put – her exercises make them move and feel better. We continuously use her moves and cues within our program to Prepare, Work, and Recover.

Dana is an expert in human movement, specifically the improvement of limitations and dysfunctions revealed through assessment. She also knows how to relate to the players as well as the staff, which makes it a joy to have a close working relationship with her.

Dana Santas has been an invaluable resource to me on ‘all things mobility.’ As the industry has evolved and the body of knowledge has expanded, she has done an outstanding job of integrating progressive principles with tried-and-true methods of previous eras across a number of disciplines. I enjoy her work and I’m confident you will, too.

After years of chronic back pain from military service and training, I explored many methods for alleviating my pain. Working with Dana, I not only saw immediate relief, more importantly, she taught me to help myself through movement and breathing optimization.

Dana understands athletes, sports and more importantly the different demands on athletes in different sports. Dana has worked with our top football and baseball players and her unique ability to evaluate and determine a program protocol for the demands of their individual sport is uncanny.

What separates Dana as an expert in the yoga space is her knowledge of other training and rehabilitation models and ability to integrate her work into comprehensive training programs. She puts together a package that champions familiar concepts for a highly inclusive and effective product.
