Bill Pintard
Head Coach
Santa Barbara Foresters

The Santa Barbara Foresters , a summer collegiate baseball team had the pleasure of working with Rosabeth Dorfhuber last summer. Her grasp of Yoga for Athletes was unparralled as was her ability to communicate it to the athletes. Our players were better to a man for having participated in this program and I know that many of them took this knowledge back to the schools from which they came. Many thanks to Rosabeth , she made us better.
