Praise for Hit Reset by Erin Taylor
"Hit Reset is a stripped down yoga program for athletes."
– Triathlete magazine
"Hit Reset isn't just a book of yoga poses. It is a method for finding imbalances in your own body and learning simple tools for self-diagnosis and intervention. Hit Reset puts the power in your own hands to learn to feel when balance needs to be restored, and in a way, prepares you to be your own yoga teacher. After reading the book and developing the framework, you'll be able to use yoga as a tool for as little as a few minutes a day with real results."
