When I was 19 years old, my dad had a massive heart attack. Thankfully he survived a triple bypass surgery. My dad was only 53 years old and my grandmother had died at age 53 from heart failure. At the time I was suffering from massive anxiety, panic attacks and I was also scared. I started learning everything I could about health and wellbeing, changed my major in college to health promotion and ultimately went on to get a Masters Degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology/Cardiac Rehab. I wanted to help other sons, daughters, grandkids to have more time with their parents and grandparents the way that I have with my dad. Working in Cardiac rehab was a revelation. Oftentimes, the patients were stressed, tight in their bodies, and had lost strength from the surgery and My job was to help build them back up from the ground up. What I saw blew me away. I realized that with the right care starting gently from the ground up that clients could make progress at any age. Oftentimes, feeling healthier and stronger than they had even before their surgery! I was hooked on helping people age 50+ and now 14 years later as a Private Gentle Yoga Coach, I can say that’s its a privilege to be a part of the incredible transformations I’ve seen in people age 50, 60, 70 and beyond. Gentle yoga is a wonderful way for people over 50 to improve their health and well-being. It can help to reduce pain, improve sleep, boost energy levels, reduce the risk of injuries, and manage stress and anxiety.
