The Secret Weapon for Aging Well with Nicky Yazbeck
Want to feel younger, stronger, and more confident in your body as you age?
In this episode, I’m joined by yoga instructor, Nicky Yazbeck, to talk about how yoga is one of THE MOST powerful tools for aging well, especially for women in midlife.
We explore how yoga supports physical strength, posture, nervous system regulation, and emotional awareness. And why it’s also a powerful mind-body-spirit tool that helps us reconnect with ourselves.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why yoga is so much more than stretching and how to tone and strengthen your entire body
- How yoga helps you live longer
- The sneaky way poor posture is aging you, and the one yoga pose that can make all the difference
- How to improve confidence and feel more powerful
- How to reverse the stress response
- Tips for getting started (even if you’ve never set foot on a mat and can’t touch your toes!)
- The #1 mistake beginners make and how to avoid it
"What I love about yoga is that it’s accessible for everybody at any age, even people with disabilities, people with injuries. And it’s one thing that you can get better at as you age." -NickyYazbeck
