Seniors Yoga Teacher Training

1 Yoga Teacher Training Weekend

Seniors are becoming one of the largest sectors of our community. There is a huge opportunity to help this demographic to enhance their lives with a healthy body and mind through yoga.

This 2-day yoga teacher training will cover the anatomy of the aging body, the 12 most common medical issues of senior yoga students and managing pain. The course is focussed around how to plan and run Seniors yoga classes with an emphasis on Chair yoga postures, breathing techniques, movements and modifications.

Come and join this informative and practical yoga teacher training and learn how to support your local community of seniors to have a healthy body and mind.

Please note the Certificate of Attendance is 14 CPD points and the Certificate of Completion is 25 CPD points.
