007: Breath and Pelvic Health with Trista Zinn

Trista connected with the Hypopressive®Method so strongly that she travelled to Spain to train under the only English speaking teacher at the time. Trista is now Canada’s highest qualified and most experienced trainer in Hypopressive® - Low Pressure Fitness.

Trista is incredibly passionate about continuous education in the fitness field, feeling that new knowledge should be embraced and shared. She is a mother of 2 and an outdoor enthusiast.
