Day 1
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.

Day 2
In this workshop students will receive an understanding of the medical establishment’s descriptions of the common disorders that can effect us as we age, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, neuropathy, weight gain, and hormonal imbalances, among others and then comprehend these same dis-eases from an alternative healing point of view. From this understanding students will come to understand how to better meet the needs of older students. This workshop will empower you to manage, prevent and even help reverse the dis-eases that most effect the aging population.
