Nadi Om Wellness - Ocala, Florida

My son and I recently took the first Yoga for Men class with George Kent at Nadi Om Wellness. My wife has been going to Yoga classes at Nadi Om for three years. She made many new friends there and has enjoyed a number of health benefits in terms of strength and mobility since joining. My son and I tried this course at her encouragement.

George is a retired Soldier and Marine, and I am a retired U.S. Army Officer. My son is a lacrosse player, wrestler, and an avid mountain biker - so none of us are strangers to demanding physical regimens.

George is a superb Yoga instructor who not only introduced us to the history and benefits of Yoga, but also began training us in the breathing, stretching, balance, and muscle strengthening poses (postures) that have really helped us both (I'm 73 and my son is 32). I have to admit I am amazed at just the difference in balance, strength, and joint mobility we enjoyed after only six weeks.

George is patient and attentive. He works with each student during the classes. He is ever mindful of what a each student can actually do at a given point - not to mention a guy with a great sense of humor who is just plain fun to be around. Thus he always ensures we are working within our capabilities, we are pushing the envelop a bit to get better; and we are not doing anything that could injure ourselves - all while just having fun.

For men who haven't tried Yoga, I should say that it is not all about meditation (a common misconception, I think); rather it teaches proper stretching, breathing, balance, and exercise that is increasingly challenging while introducing techniques to calm and control emotional challenges some people may face (e.g., anger, road rage, etc.). I note in passing that the military has been adopting many Yoga based exercises and principles into its physical programs and the reasons quickly become obvious.

Regardless of your initial motivation, Yoga can clearly be a very beneficial part of a well-rounded program of strengthening, joint mobility, balance improvement, breathing optimization, and emotional control. It is challenging and becomes more so as you improve and start ever more advanced techniques but if you will see immediate benefits even from a couple of classes a week combined with some home practice.

My son and I both really enjoyed the classes and plan to continue on Nadi Om Wellness Yoga with George and other instructors. I highly recommend this program regardless of your current physical state - it will benefit in ways you never imagined.

Grace is a remarkable healer. For years I have intermittently suffered with sciatica. With just one treatment, she was able to release my extremely tight piriformis muscle and gave me pain relief. I am not only thankful for Grace's therapeutic touch, I am also grateful to her and her staff for their gentle guidance in helping me attain a healthier lifestyle through the practice of yoga.

I just completed a wonderful 5 week series for
Level 1 Reiki and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Grace is such an awesome teacher. I can’t wait to take the next level when it is offered.

I also love love love the yoga! So different from gym yoga. Always leave feeling grounded and empowered and relaxed. Thank you Grace for all.

I finally feel after living in Ocala for 1.5 years I have found my tribe and “home”. 👍👍👍

Wide variety of classes with excellent instructors. A safe, caring studio that nurtures mind and body. The therapeutic massages gave me relief that neither chiropractors or physical therapy could.
