Slow Yoga for Osteoporosis

Introducing Ellen Barnard, a passionate advocate for sexual health education and the proud owner of A Woman's Touch Sexuality Resource Center. Hailing from Madison, Ellen's expertise extends beyond sexual health as she also serves as a dedicated yoga instructor, specializing in yoga tailored for older individuals and those with osteoporosis. With a multifaceted background in health and well-being, Ellen brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her work.

“I enjoy giving people the information and tools to improve their minds and bodies in ways that they choose. I want to make yoga accessible to folks regardless of age and I strive to modify the practices so that those with a variety of abilities can experience the benefits of yoga. I chose to teach yoga because it can be an accessible way to experience better mental and physical health”

Marlene Storms

Owner of The Daily Fit with Marlene—virtual fitness classes coming from my home in Oregon, Wisconsin, with a focus on building strength, endurance and balance. My virtual classes have received the balance stamp of approval from the Safe Communities of Madison-Dane County. I have also taught active aging exercise classes at Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center and Silver Sneaker exercise classes at the Waunakee Village Center.

I am certified through ACE (American Council on Exercise) as a Group Fitness Instructor and a Personal Trainer. Through ACE, I am also a Senior Fitness Specialist.

I firmly believe in the power of movement as medicine, whether it be walking on a treadmill, hiking outdoors or taking part in an exercise class. After working with the older adult population as a program manager at a community center, I now work primarily with people who are 70+ years of age, improving their every day health and longevity through the power of physical movement.
