Anatomy of Aging with Brian Dorfman

What happens to the body as we age? Why is it important to consider the age of a student when teaching Yoga? As the baby boomer generation rapidly enters both retirement and the practice of Yoga, it is more important than ever to have a clear understanding about the needs of this population. In this class we will explore what happens to the body as we grow older – how metabolism, muscular strength, bone density, digestion, cardiovascular functioning, and neurological functioning are all affected by age and how the practice of yoga has a profound effect on it all.                          $100 or $175 when combined with "Physiology of Healing" on February 25th.
