why yoga for 50+?
chair yoga helps you discover the art of moving your body and calming your mind in an accessible way. If sciatica or other pain is wearing on you, your posture may change to compensate. This can cause pain in other parts of the body. Yoga as a therapy seeks to relieve pain in and around its origin and enable us to participate in more of life’s activities.
Yoga can help or releive pain alone or in conjunction with acupuncutre or physical therapy.
reviews
“Nadine from Balanced Humans has been critical to my maintenance of a healthy life into my 80s. Physically, it has built strength, improved balance, and engaged muscles, joints, and bones. Mentally, Nadine has helped me get through and recover from major surgery and has improved my understanding of both body and mind. My only regret is that I didn’t start earlier.”
“Growing senior can be painful. Using chair and mat yoga, Nadine led me through sciatic and lower back pain mitigation. She’s taught me to carpe diem and enjoy an active life.”
“I have been doing weekly yoga with Nadine for a year and I love it.
I had major back surgery in 2018 and it left me with chronic pain, and no matter what I tried; medication, physical therapy, massage therapy, none of it really left an impact. My acupuncturist recommended yoga… It has honestly been the only thing that consistently lessens my chronic pain, and Nadine is a wonderful instructor. I highly recommend her.”
“My classes with Nadine have been focused on stress reduction and relief from my spondylolisthesis. It’s been amazing as she guided me to poses that reduced the pain from the spondy and meditation and neck and shoulder movements really help relieve my anxiety in our weekly sessions.”
“In addition to taking Nadine’s Mindful Movement class 2 years ago, I recently retired and also began taking private yoga classes to work on improving an area of chronic pain and improving my skills at yoga. Nadine teaches yoga at your pace and breaks complex yoga moves into simple components. She is a positive, energetic and optimistic teacher.”
