Yana Kazbekova

I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT500) with over 25 years of active practice  and around 5000 hours of international teaching experience. My area of expertise is Chair Yoga for Seniors with Movement, Visual and Cognitive impairments. My clients are 65 to 99 y.o. beautiful people that live with partial or total blindness, early stages of Dementia or Alzheimer , Parkinson's, Arthritis and other health challenges. My multicultural personal and professional background made it possible for me to build a unique approach to the yoga work with the elderly. Over the past 8 years I brought together brain stimulation techniques, yoga, breath awareness, energy work, guided meditation and a bit of humor.  There are numerous benefits to this type of classes: faster improvement in reflexes, grip, better stance, flexibility, focus, memory... just to name a few. But most importantly, ·        seniors age more gracefully, ·        they gain confidence, ·        they feel safe and motivated. ·        They interact and make friends more easily. ·        They feel less isolated, more involved. And that helps them SEE LIFE DIFFERENTLY. Among my clients there are Jewish Family Service, Parkinson's Association and several Assisted Living Homes in SD county.
