Nadine Kelly on yoga and mental health, reclaiming her creativity and serving wise women
In this new episode of Out of the Clouds, host Anne Muhlethaler interviews Nadine Kelly (https://www.instagram.com/yogimdnet/?hl=en), a retired pathologist, experienced yoga instructor, American Council of Exercise certified Health Coach and Senior Exercise Specialist. She is also the founder of YOGI M.D. and host of the YOGI M.D. Podcast.
Anne and Nadine are Akimbo alumni, they met in 2020 on the Podcasting Fellowship, an online course for budding podcasters hosted by Seth Godin and Alex di Palma.
In this conversation, Nadine candidly reveals her journey leaving her medical career due to depression to finding her path as a yoga teacher, and later on as a health coach. Anne and Nadine discuss the link between yoga and mental wellness, and how Nadine's calling to teach seniors who she warmly refers to as her ‘wise women’. They talk about their learnings from coaching, particularly around limiting beliefs, and the value in Nadine’s motto: no strain, no gain.
The two of them found tremendous value in Seth Godin’s Akimbo workshops, which Nadine calls ‘the classroom she always wished she'd had’ and touch on the importance of good teachers. Especially good music teachers: Nadine is a keen drummer, while Anne is a pianist and vocalist.
Nadine’s love of podcasting contagious, she is dedicated to her audience and to the intimacy of the medium: 'When I record my podcast episodes, when I sit with my guests, the feeling I want to have is we're nerding out in my living room'. Nerding out on yoga, fitness, health and wellness, like the six dimensions of well-being.
A bright conversation! Enjoy!
