BIG THINGS REALLY CAN COME OUT OF SMALL TOWNS
Meet Hope and Phil. Perfect strangers until a small Wisconsin town business mixer took these two from perfect strangers to overnight business partners.
Mixing both their talents and business backgrounds together, Mother Trucker Yoga® was born.
Mother Trucker Yoga® believes that you can feel better wherever you are with small, simple changes that will lead to big results. No matter your situation, no matter your environment. You can improve your health, mobility, and well-being with our simple, effective programming.
Mother Trucker Yoga® wants to help 1 million drivers change lanes in their health and fitness by 2031. Whether you are a truck driver, an Uber driver, a bus driver, an Amazon driver, someone who finds themselves behind the wheel for hours a day- we want to help you.
We believe that traditional exercises like push-ups, jumping jacks, and sit-ups will not help most truck drivers shift gears and change lanes regarding their health. If an exercise program would solve our fitness and health problems, we’d already be in a better place. We need to start from the beginning and build a foundation of tools and techniques, and here at Mother Trucker Yoga®, we call this the Fitness Toolbox™. This approach to driver fitness is not complicated and not a gym-based program repackaged for drivers. This toolbox is one that you can integrate into your everyday life.
Are you ready to build your toolbox?
Hope is a 17-year yoga veteran whose passion is helping others live healthier, more fulfilling lives. For nearly 2 decades, Hope has been working with people in pain, showing them how small, simple changes add up to big results.
In 2019, Hope took over Mother Trucker Yoga® as the sole owner to fully integrate all her ideas, expertise, and passion into the company.
Her yoga, functional movement, core, and mindfulness background create a much-needed foundation for the trucking industry. With 86% of drivers obese, 13.6% of drivers suffer from depression (American population average 15%), and more than 50% of drivers have back pain.
“These drivers don’t need another gym-style workout program, they need a lifestyle change, real solutions and fast!”
Mother Trucker Yoga® is a unique blend of mindfulness, stress-relief, mobility, flexibility, stability, and strength. You need it all!
As a recovering addict, Hope is not shy to talk about her journey to a healthy, happy life. We all struggle; the key is can we learn from those struggles and then turn around and help another?
“The mental is just as important if not more than the physical. It’s a cycle: mental feeds physical, feeds emotional, and around it goes. When you feel good, you do good. When you do good, you feel good.”
Hope is passionate about helping others feel their best. She knows firsthand what it feels like to struggle with mental demons, weight, and food. You don’t need to be a driver to understand what the issues are at hand, but you need to understand what these men and women are going through and how to help.
A world-class speaker Hope has spoken on hundreds of stages, sharing her toolbox for finding health and happiness. Now is dedicated to the trucking community and bringing these men and women what they so desperately deserve-hope.
Hope is a best-selling author and the author of Trucking Yoga – Simple Fitness for the Long-Haul, the perfect travel-friendly book for drivers looking for fast relief and companies looking for the perfect gift for their drivers in support of their health.
In 2019 Hope created the only pain relief cream for truck drivers, STIFF Mother Trucker®. After years of using everyone else’s pain relief cream but always falling short, the trucking community inspired her to finally create her own.
When she’s not saving the world one move at a time, Hope’s focus is on her family, including her three children and husband, Brian.
“With 17 years in the yoga and fitness industry I’ve worked with every kind of person! From teaching teachers, presenting at conferences, working in corporate, owning a yoga studio, to working with people from 2 weeks old to 98 years old. Yoga has been my lifeline on a multitude of levels and when you work with me you get more than a yoga experience, you get a lifestyle upgrade. Yoga truly is for everyone, and like many of us, truckers are sitting all day, with limited movement, broken sleep patterns, heightened stress, and worse yet, they have limited resources available specifically to them to make the changes they know they need to make. Mother Trucker Yoga® is that solution! If someone would just take the time to teach them how to breathe, sit correctly and incorporate little movements multiple times a day, it all adds up and makes a difference!”

“When the road is a person’s home, truckers need access to better movement mechanics, more attention to mental health, and more opportunities to help them live a more fulfilling lifestyle, and we have created just that with Mother Trucker Yoga®!”
