I am a physical therapist turned yoga teacher, a BoneFit Instructor and teacher of Fishman Yoga vs Osteoporosis. I strive to create hope and a plan for people with aging bodies. I believe dignity and quality of life matters and that movement helps keep us strong, flexible, and agile.

Hello, I’m Jeanette

My conversation Becky Longacre of Health Transformers. https://healthtransformersmaine.com/ We talked about my “why” and what I do in my business.

Is this you?

Are you…
  • A woman with osteoporosis who wonders how to exercise without fear of injury, who is overwhelmed by all the information you find on google, and is disappointed by group classes that just don’t fit.

  • Someone who loves yoga, likes exercise classes, and likes walking, cycling and hiking with your friends? Do you like gardening, enjoys tea with friends, and book club?

  • Are wondering how you injured yourself in your sleep last night, want to prevent fractures with osteoporosis, or prefer yoga to your physical therapy homework or a loud gym? But want support, accountability and guidance so you can feel good in your body?

Feeling feeling isolated from your spouse because sex hurts?

Feeling let down by your body with an unwanted falling out feeling?

You are not alone

You Would love it if you could:

  • Feel confident in your balance and coordination.

  • Feel proud to make it through an exercise class without a bathroom break.

  • Feel connected with your partner.

  • Feel joy by being able to get outside with friends, your kids and grandkids.

You have tried…

Strength and balance classes at your gym

I’m Jeanette Burney, PT, RYT

I am a physical therapist turned yoga teacher, a BoneFit Instructor and teacher of Fishman Yoga vs Osteoporosis who strives to create hope and a plan for people with aging bodies. I believe quality of life matters and that we all need movement in our lives.

I have had many years of repeated and nonsensical injuries that would stop me in my tracks, taking me away from the athletics that I really love.  A random fall skiing injured my shoulder. I was unable to go to my weekly yoga class that was a key stress management tool. I felt isolated and depressed. A home practice prescribed by my yoga teacher lifted me back up giving my overactive mind something to do. The poses created strength and flexibility while my body recovered.

My yoga teacher training and then certifying to teach the Fishman Yoga vs Osteoporosis has focused my career. I find myself teaching yoga through the lens of a physical therapist, using the postures, the breathing exercises, and the mindset to help my clients with osteoporosis feel confident, strong, agile and less stressed. 

Sometimes we believe we can't trust our body perform due to osteoporosis or because we feel as if we injure ourselves in our sleep as we age.

What I know and believe to be true is that when you work with someone who understands your body, understands your body at different stages of life and understands the medical issues that may arise, it takes the struggle out of exercise and makes it fun again.

That is what I help people do every day. I meet you where you are. If you are curious about what is looks like to work together or are ready to dive in, schedule a complimentary call and we will talk about where you are, where you want go, what might be getting in the way and make an indestructible plan to get you there!

  • What Client's Say

    "Jeanette brings a powerful combination of skill and compassion to each session. I have chronic pain and limited range of motion in my shoulders. She not only provided pain relief during our sessions, but with her help I was able to improve my range of motion and return to yoga classes. Jeanette is truly gifted and I highly recommend working with her!" -JD

  • What Clients say

    “After working with Jeanette to refine my yoga practice to include the yoga for osteoporosis and learning more about my diagnosis, I am back out confidently hiking with my husband.” CM

  • What clients say

    "Jeanette works wonders! I have never had a PT who had such in-depth knowledge and expertise. I was struggling prior to meeting her with a variety of challenges; she diagnosed the problems, worked with me to solve them and got me back to the sports and active life I love. Jeanette is kind, thoughtful and a great communicator I highly recommend her for any issues you may have.
