TRAINING FOR OLDER MINDS, BODIES, AND HEARTS

This program is for yoga teachers who have completed a 200-hour teacher training or equivalent (longtime yoga practitioners).

Learn strategies for adapting yoga practice to older minds, bodies, and hearts in a training that combines the traditional wisdom of yoga with the best contemporary scientific knowledge about the physiology of aging. Seniors represent the fastest-growing sector of the population, creating an increasing demand for well-trained yoga teachers.

Each day of this training involves:

• A balance of lecture, movement, small group work, practice teaching sessions, and discussion.
• Yoga sessions geared for older bodies.
• Learning about common ailments and complex medical challenges affecting older adults.
• Conceptual models for skillfully adapting postures and practices.

In a safe and effective teaching environment, students earn Yoga Alliance CEUs and have the opportunity to integrate with a larger community committed to learning what it means to age well.

NOTE: Participants can earn CEUS from the Yoga Alliance. Certified yoga therapists can earn Approved Professional Development (APD) continuing education credits from the International Association of Yoga Therapists.
