Working with the 55+ population is incredibly rewarding, and in this 20 hour teacher training you will learn everything you need to safely lead an older population through a yoga class. Join Michelle Mann-Donegan E-RYT 200, YACEP and Dr. Natalie Carrington, Chiropractor, E-RYT 200, YACEP in this intensive one weekend training to learn:

  • How to construct a safe and effective yoga class for the 55+ population
  • Teaching yoga to a later in life, possibly first time, student (vocabulary, philosophy)
  • The benefits of active aging and the role yoga plays in accruing these benefits
  • Sequencing for Seniors chair yoga
  • Modifications for mobility and health limitations (wheelchairs, oxygen apparatus, etc.)
  • Anatomy of the aging body and mind
  • Explorations of how to create a Yoga practice for students with Osteoporosis, Arthritis, Diabetes, and other common health concerns of the older student (Hypertension, COPD, dementia, etc.)
Every student will have the opportunity to observe both a 55+ yoga class, as well as a Senior's chair yoga class within the local community.
