The Boomer Woman’s Podcast, episode 225
Age-, Trauma-, Newbie-Informed Yoga with Ellen O'Hara
After my first few (only) highly disappointing yoga classes I was pleased to have Ellen O’Hara address all my concerns and explain what age/joint/health sensitive yoga should look like.
Ellen discusses:
- Yoga through her nursing lens
- explains vinyasa yoga and trauma-informed yoga
- how to feel comfortable in class
- what the props are and how to use them
- balance, self-awareness, stress reduction
Such great advice and tips for the new yoga participant, the achy yoga participant, the older yoga participant… maybe you’re all three!
Listen below.
