Nurses, I’m talking to you. You devote your daily life to taking care of your patients, supporting doctors, other staff, and giving everyone excellent care. But what about YOU and YOUR self-care, your self-service? Hmmm. I know, I know. I’ve been there.
Traditional nursing broke my heart because of all the bureaucratic challenges and limitations that I could not change, but i DID change myself. I adored the patient care but working short most of the time tore up my body, exhausted my mind and sucked the soul out of my life force. By grace, truly amazing grace, I found a new path. Through Divine inspiration, I had a vision of combining my yoga practice with nursing and how that could truly serve nurses and their patients. I became an RN wellness educator, stress relief and back safety expert, and a medical yoga therapist. And so can YOU.
My journey “got me off the floor,” and ultimately got me here to this page that you are looking at. My passion and mission is to share the fruits of what I learned with you, (without you having to spend years figuring it out like I did) and show you HOW I did it and how you can too. Quickly!
Can you relate to the following? If you can, then consider coming to my accredited training.

- You yearn to heal the heart and soul of your inner nurse, but have well…lost heart.
- You’re bored with the “same old” required continuing nursing education that you have to take to keep your license current.

Great job Annette-It’s been great working with you and looking forward to our June gig at Kripalu!
excilent work you are doing
Thank you for taking your time to comment, really appreciate it!
A co-worker sent your article to me”Is nursing,making you sick, fat, and old,” and I was ecstatic to see that there was such a thing as yoga nursing. I’ve been a BSN prepared nurse of over 15 years and within this last year, I discovered therapeutic hatha yoga thru a wonderful instructor with over 30 plus years experience, thru a once a week class coordinated by ouur nursing education off hours. Its been a life changing experience and I am now getting my hours per the guidelines of international Yoga therapist. I’m intrigued about the Kripalu classes and might look into that in the future. Nurse who have never done hatha yoga don’t realize what they are missing, there is such a need for education on this subject.
Hi Rhea, Yoga and nursing is a natural! life changing yes!!! Hope you subscribe so you can hear about ongoing Yoga Nursing trainings and hope to meet you one day and YES, I am developing T shirts cuz many have asked! Lovely to meet you here. Stay in touch.
This is a wonderful career boost to nurses. Anyone in the medical profession will surely benefit from a program similar to this. Caring for people can be stressful and if the caregiver is doing yoga, they will be more calm in handling emergency situations and their daily tasks.

i appreciate your thoughtful comment. you are right on re yoga helping caregivers to handle stress. best to you in your ongoing trainings!
Are there any plans to have the Yoga Nurse training at other locations? I have tried to go for 2 years in a row now but Mass. is too far to travel! When you add airfare on top of room and board and tuition its not feasible. Do you offer it anywhere else?
maria, thank you for your interest! i am planning to run the trainings here in my hometown in the South in North Carolina. Stay tuned! also, i am developing online trainings. so much potential and i just met with a group of integrative MDs who i gave an experience of Yoga Nursing to at the Kripalu center. hope you have subscribed to my list. Best!
Greetings from Idaho. As a long time yoga practitioner, but not yoga teacher I want to commend you. Is there any chance you would present a training out West, ie Idaho, Montana, Salt Lake City? Thanks for your good work. All health care providers need to be able to care for themselves to prevent burnout and provide centered care. All good things.
Kath, somehow I missed this comment. sorry! I would ADORE to come out West. I am traveling to present programs currently. It often happens just like this….meaning, if you can organize with me helping you of course, a training at a yoga center, or a nursing org, hospital, I can happily come. this is my mission and vision. let me know if this is interesting for you. You could also assist me in the training
are you also a nurse? hope to hear from you!
