Yoga for Seniors Teacher Training Workshop
in Mount Waverley, Victoria organised by Australian College of Classical Yoga Teacher Training
in Mount Waverley, Victoria organised by Australian College of Classical Yoga Teacher Training
As we age we can meet a variety of health challenges. Our job as Yoga teachers is to give Seniors access to an appropriate level of Yoga to keep them as mobile as possible without adding strain, and to help them address these challenges in a fun and helpful way.
In this workshop we will look at:
· Keeping range of movement without adding strain
· The use of props such as blocks, bolsters, chairs and straps
· Dealing with common problems such as:
o Arthritis and osteoarthritis
o High Blood Pressure
o Pain
o Heart conditions
· Restorative yoga
· The importance of meditation and the other limbs
· And having some fun!
Many traditional classes require a speed and range of movement that many Seniors simply do not have anymore. These classes also fail to create a structure and flow that is beneficial to Seniors, possibly causing more harm than good in the long run. You will come away from this workshop with more awareness of the ageing body and a toolkit of techniques to create fun and accessible yoga classes for baby boomers and beyond.
