About Ginny and Core Body Wisdom Ginny Nadler is the creator of Core Body Wisdom. She has practiced yoga for 32 years and has taught for 20. Besides her intensive training in the B.K.S. Iyengar tradition in India and California, she has been greatly influenced by renowned teachers Angela Farmer, Victor Van Kooten, Kofi Busia, Felicity Green and Larry Hatlett. Her personal journey has led her to the ceremonial work with the Qechua medicine people in the Andes and the Amazon. All of these teachings, for which she is in deep gratitude, has inspired her to become her own teacher, taking the ìsides off the boxî to discover where movement is created and oftentimes challenged. It was this journey that gave birth to her vision to be part of, and in service to, a diverse community. Having taught yoga classes in California where she created wellness programs in corporations, in 1993 this vision led her to New Haven, Connecticut where she co-created and directed The Yoga Studio and Spa as part of The Urban Global Healing Center. Here, she established several teacher-training programs; a yoga protocol for people suffering with asthma in conjunction with Yale/Griffin Hospitals; a program for incarcerated young women; and worked with hundreds of students whose ages ranged from teens to elders. Most recently Ginny has relocated to Cleveland, Ohio to take on her new role as Grandmother, as well as travel to studios in the U.S., Europe, Central and South America and lead yoga journeys to sacred sites around the world. Her unique therapeutic programs can be described as a precise, physiological-modeled approach that provides a guided map to going deep within the core. Students unravel muscle over bone to initiate movement, freedom and relief from pain, connecting with sacrum and pelvis to open areas that have been closed for years. As old bindings unravel in the body, old belief systems ìbindingî us to habitual stories dissolve as well. The focus of her teaching is on the sacred geometry of the body through which space is created to new pathways for healing. A student comes away from these clinics with a clear understanding of how imbalance began. Those new to yoga are able to safely achieve deep stretch, without any prior training. All receive personal coaching to ìseeî and realign, finding new ways of holding and supporting themselves to become informed participants in the creation of asanas: from a balanced pelvis and sacrum in extension. It is here, through Ginnyís eclectic personal journeys, research and vision, that students become aware of their anatomical history and delves into the Anthropology of the body.
