Nina Englander was in college at Tufts when she first tried chiropractic for her chronic back pain. After a short time under regular chiropractic care, not only did her back issues resolve, stomach pains that she had experienced since childhood also disappeared. This was an incredible experience that changed her life and set her on the career path to becoming a chiropractor. Dr. Nina graduated from Tufts University in 1987 with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and Psychology, and moved out to Portland, Oregon to attend Western States Chiropractic College where she earned her chiropractic degree in 1992. She had private practices in both Oregon and Tennessee before moving to the Boston area in 1999. She has completed post-graduate education in working with children and pregnant women (as well as on-the-job training as a mom!) which gives her a special touch working with prenatal patients and infants. She combines several adjusting techniques such as Koren Specific Technique (KST) and Applied Kinesiology, as well as various other forms of bodywork and she is certified in the Webster Technique for care during pregnancy. She also works with nutrition and detoxification to help facilitate the healing process. Dr. Nina lives in Acton with her husband, two children and chocolate lab.

This online yoga exploration is open to all levels of practice and ability, and is an invitation to let go of the ‘doing’ to settle into the loving space of 'BE-ing':

• We breathe and ground to settle the fray within our Nervous Systems.

• We move with intention to open ourselves up to sensation with caring and compassion for the bruises of our heart.

• We feel the sticky places in our body and notice the redundant stories the mind tells so that we may shift from conditioned to curious.

• We complete this practice by offering our individual practices in collective prayer with Loving Kindness meditation.
