Teaching Yoga at Senior Care Facilities (3 Hrs)

Thousands of Seniors transition into Senior Care Facilities each week in the United States. Some because of repeated falls, some because of dementia or Alzheimer’s some because of strokes, and of course some because they have no other support system to rely on. Bringing the joy of movement and community through Chair Yoga is a gift we as Yoga Teachers can give to this often forgotten demographic.

This workshop will address:

The common scenarios you might encounter in teaching to this population
Why and how to modify Chair Yoga movements to keep your students safe and engaged
Different types of Senior Care Facilities and the various health profiles of the Senior residents
How to work with the Administrative staff to find opportunities in your community to serve
This workshop will end with a full Chair Yoga class that incorporates the workshop concepts as well as a detailed Workshop Hand-out of all the poses and modifications we discuss.

Duration: 2.5 hours. Receive Yoga Alliance approved contact CEUs.
