Yoga for Seniors Teacher Training

Teacher Training Home Programs Yoga for Seniors Teacher Training

In 2017, Canada’s Seniors officially out numbered children.

 

With no signs of this trend abating any time soon, learning to teach yoga to our Seniors safely and mindfully is becoming an increasingly important skill in the yoga teaching world.

 

As our population ages steadfastly, understanding the common physical and mental issues and having the qualifications to teach yoga to this large segment of our population will provide yoga teachers with a unique and very rewarding niche.

She was available to us in so many ways, especially as the world literally shut down during Covid. She committed herself to our learning – she crafted the curriculum ingeniously, modified it fluidly, and led us through the uncertainty with love and patience.”  2020 Graduate
