Nyk Danu is an IAYT (International Association of Yoga Therapists) certified Yoga therapist. Her therapeutic specialty is back pain and anxiety relief.

She works with Yoga Misfits, Gen Xers (and sometimes y) who don’t feel at home in mainstream Yoga circles, alternative folks, rebels, underdogs, punx, introverts, geeks, and bookworms.

In this episode, Nyk and I talk about some of the misconceptions about yoga—particularly as practiced in the West. We also touch on how yoga practice can mature and evolve as we move into midlife and beyond.
