RDH ReAlign was created to support the human behind the clinician — the person who gives so much of themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally every day. This is not about pushing harder or doing more. It is about restoring balance so you can continue practicing with clarity, presence, and longevity.

RDH ReAlign is a 6-week wellness, ergonomics, and movement-based program created specifically for registered dental hygienists who want to reduce pain, prevent burnout, and extend the longevity of their careers.

This program blends gentle yoga, meditation, mobility, ergonomic education, in-operatory posture support, nervous system regulation, and reflective practices to help you feel better in your body while continuing to do the work you love.

RDH ReAlign is not about perfection or being “good at yoga.” It is about awareness, small shifts, and sustainable habits that support your body, mind, and energy in a demanding profession.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is RDH ReAlign?

RDH ReAlign is a 6-week professional wellness program designed specifically for registered dental hygienists. It combines yoga-based mobility, ergonomics education, nervous system regulation, burnout prevention strategies, and guided reflection to support longevity in clinical practice.

2. Who is this program for?

This program is for:

• Dental hygienists experiencing neck, shoulder, wrist, or back discomfort

• RDHs feeling early signs of burnout

• Clinicians wanting to improve ergonomics and efficiency

• Hygienists who love their career but want it to feel sustainable You do not need prior yoga experience.

3. Is this a fitness program?

No. This is not a workout program focused on intensity or aesthetics. RDH ReAlign is built around mobility, joint health, posture awareness, nervous system regulation, and clinical longevity. Movements are intentional, modifiable, and designed to complement the demands of dental hygiene.

4. How much time do I need each week?

The full weekly yoga flow is approximately 60 minutes. You only need to complete the flow once - it is sent to you through email every Friday morning. You are welcomed to watch the videos or past ones more than once. Some form of movement daily (walking, yoga, stretching, weightlifting or cardio) is encouraged to complement the RDH ReAlign yoga flows. Between-client resets are 1–3 minutes each. You can adjust based on your schedule, consistency matters more than duration.

5. What if I already have pain or an injury?

This program includes modifications for:

• Shoulder pain

• Limited range of motion

• Wrist sensitivity

• Knee discomfort during floor work However, this program is educational in nature and not a substitute for medical advice. If you have an active injury or diagnosis, consult your healthcare provider before beginning.

6. What makes this different from regular yoga?

Every flow and movement inside RDH ReAlign is designed specifically for dental hygienists. We focus on:

• Counteracting static clinical posture

• Preventing musculoskeletal strain

• Nervous system resets between clients

• Ergonomic awareness inside the operatory This is yoga informed by clinical reality.

7. Will this help prevent burnout?

RDH ReAlign addresses burnout from multiple angles:

• Physical strain reduction

• Energy management

• Boundary setting in the operatory

• Breathwork and nervous system awareness

• Professional values realignment RDH ReAlign provides the tools, implementation is what creates change!

8. Do I need equipment?

You’ll need:

• A yoga mat or soft surface

• Optional: yoga block, strap, small towel

• Comfortable clothing.

No large or expensive equipment required.

9. Is this live or self-paced?

RDH ReAlign is a healthy mix of both. All the yoga flows are virtual & pre-recorded- you have access on Friday mornings to view and participate over the weekend to set you up for a great work week ahead! If you are unable to watch on then, don’t worry, the videos can be watched at your leisure. Inside the workbook there are goals to create for your clinical practice. I do recommend you view these before going in for your first shift that week to initiate change. There is a Facebook Group for the members of the RDH ReAlign Community that Ashley will be posting every Thursday to check in on your goals and outcomes!

10. Why is it called “ReAlign”?

Because alignment is not a one-time achievement. To say align means there is a destination to alignment, when in reality, it’s an ongoing practice. As your body, schedule, lifestyle and career evolve, you will need to realign again and again. This program teaches you how.

11. What happens after the 6 weeks?

• Continued access to recordings - 12 months from start date

• Print outs for the operatory to remind you of your ReAligning habits.

• Increased body & postural awareness while at work

• Community support in Facebook group for life

• Clearer and stronger boundaries with work

• Toolbelt full of helpful ways to reduce burnout and regulate nervous system

• Access to possible future in person yoga retreats / ergonomic workshops
