As a mother of five, Jacqueline Rose understands all too well the struggles of balancing life, children, and career. The stresses of life can often feel overwhelming, and it wasn’t until Jacqueline found Yoga Nashit, Yoga for Women’s Health, that she began understanding how to become more mindful and how to deal with her anxiety. Through her studies, teaching and research, Jacqueline developed a deeper connection to her body. In 2014, she qualified as a Yoga for Pregnancy Instructor at the Wingate Institute. In 2017, she qualified to be a Yoga Nashit Instructor with the founder of Yoga Nashit, Mira Atzi-Padan, and in 2019, she qualified as a Therapeutic Yoga Instructor at Campus Broshim School of Integrative Medicine, Tel Aviv University. With all of her experience, she now uses this knowledge to help others, specifically women in menopause. Using a holistic health approach and Yoga Nashit, Jacqueline guides women through menopause and help ease the overwhelming mental and physical changes that come with it.
