Greg Nardi is the new interim executive director at nonprofit Yoga 4 Change, which works with area underserved groups who have experienced high levels of stress or trauma.
He succeeds Kim Simon who departed to lead Pace Center for Girls Jacksonville.
Nardi, a certified yoga therapist who holds the highest senior yoga teaching credential, has 20 years of experience in yoga practice, teaching, education and organizational leadership. Most recently he was the nonprofit's director of strategic initiatives and trainings.
"His work is grounded in the belief that yoga can help people develop greater agency, resilience and connection while recognizing the social and systemic conditions that shape health and wellbeing," according to Yoga 4 Change. "Greg
believes that yoga is most powerful when its teachings are made relevant to the realities of people’s lives and when organizations create the structures necessary for that work to be accessible, ethical and sustainable."
