A Halifax yoga therapist is buzzing with excitement after receiving international recognition for her work during an appearance in the new Prince Harry-produced Netflix docuseries Heart of Invictus.
Caelin Nadin, who was featured in the August release, is a trauma-informed yoga therapist who specializes in somatic practice — an approach designed to restore calm to the nervous system by identifying the physical sensations related to a traumatic event.
During an interview with Global News Morning on Tuesday, Nadin said the opportunity presented itself after a longtime client, Darrell Ling, was chosen by Team Canada to compete in the 2022 Invictus Games, which is an international sporting competition designed to “offer a recovery pathway” for wounded, injured or sick service personnel.
“I was asked to go along the ride as the anxiety coach,” Nadin said.
She said that upon arrival, Ling was chosen to be in a Netflix series documenting the journey of six competing athletes, which was filmed during the week-long event in the Netherlands.
“I really don’t have words yet…. For him, I think it’s very special to be able to share his story. He’s very much wanting to help other people with his story.”
Ling served in the Canadian Armed Forces between 1986 and 1992.
