Janet walked into a yoga class at the age of 58 after a lifetime of medical issues, including a lumbar fusion, six knee surgeries, fibromyalgia and three neurosurgeries, followed by life-threatening infections, severe pain, muscular weakness and scoliosis. Through her yoga practice, Janet grew stronger and more flexible, and her health improved dramatically. Yoga helped resolve her fibromyalgia and complications from numerous surgeries and improved her scoliosis significantly. Seven years later, she trained to become a yoga teacher and studied Therapeutic Yoga for Seniors at Duke Integrative Medicine, yoga anatomy and therapy with Martin Kirk, E-RYT, and BoomerPlusŪ Yoga with Amy Kraft, E-RYT. She combined these trainings with her own experience working in medical research and clinical care for 20 years, plus information from numerous workshops, books and online studying.
The matching video to the chair yoga poses is Age Without Limits Yoga - Chair Poses from Head to Toe. You can purchase either a 3-DVD set or a flash drive. Both have the same 2 hours and 55 minutes of yoga poses and information.
Janet is certified in three key yoga areas: yoga therapy (C-IAYT), yoga for healthy aging (C-YFHA), and integrative yoga for seniors (C-IYFS). She uses her knowledge to help others to gain strength, flexibility, stamina, range-of-motion and balance.
