Author Information

Karen, an internationally certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBHWC-C), and certified Functional Medicine Health Coach (FMCA-C), first started studying and practicing yoga in 1983. Along with yoga, Karen is also trained in various bodywork modalities, Qigong forms, and healing methods. In the late 1990's, with her mother Shirley, she taught The Invisible Ball, a Qigong program for children in public schools. In 2003, she began teaching therapeutic yoga classes and private yoga therapy sessions, including classes in bone health, back care, women's health, and balance. Today Karen teaches movement and balance classes for seniors, and works with individuals one-on-one in coaching, movement, balance training and personal transformation. As a mother daughter team with many decades of experience practicing and teaching movement, Karen and Shirley have distilled and honed their knowledge into this practical yet comprehensive guide to improving balance for healthy aging. Shirley, an accredited ChiLelTM Qigong instructor, taught the healing movement arts for 40 plus years. Working with cancer patients, she focused upon the benefits of Qigong to the immune system. In 1885, she co-wrote and published a widely distributed video called Strengthening the Immune System through Mind and Movement. For 20 years, she taught Seniors in Balance classes to hundreds of students in the Bay Area.Shirley, once an avid race-walker and gold medal winner of the race-walking senior world games in her 70s, attributes her race-walking success to her practice of Qigong. While she is now retired from public teaching, she still enjoys her practices in Tai Chi/ Qigong and attends weekly classes taught by her daughter Karen.
