Hairstylist to Yoga Therapist: A Journey with Yin - Nyk Danu

Chat Off The Mat - Empowering Women's Wellness

Ever wondered how a hair stylist transforms into a yoga therapist? Join us as we sit down with Nyk Danu, a certified yoga therapist, whose fascinating journey from the salon to the yoga mat is nothing short of inspiring. Learn how yoga helped her manage her anxiety and alleviate the physical stress of her hairstyling career. Nyk shares her experience with yoga, going from initial reluctance to discovering a passion that drove her to teach and heal others.
We uncover the benefits of Yin Yoga as Nyk recounts how a workshop with Paul Grilley brought her a sense of peace and spaciousness. From Hatha to Yin, Nyk's journey through yoga is filled with rich insights on how these practices promote flexibility, mobility, and stress reduction. Understand the power of functional poses and the importance of transitioning from 'fight or flight' to 'rest and digest' modes for internal awareness and grounding.
But that's not all—Nyk's journey doesn't stop at teaching. Discover her path to becoming a yoga therapist, specializing in classes tailored for individuals with serious spine issues and anxiety. Learn about the rigorous training involved, the integration of trauma-informed practices, and the ethical considerations of incorporating Traditional Chinese Medicine principles. Nyk's personal anecdotes and reflections on functional anatomy underscore the importance of adapting teaching methodologies to create a supportive and empowering environment for all students. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone interested in the transformative power of yoga.
