Techniques to teach Seniors to go from Standing to the Mat

Techniques to teach Seniors to go from Standing to the Mat

I’m pursuing now a Chair-to-mat class. I’m looking for a technique to teach seniors/people to go from standing to the mat.

I’ve been looking in YouTube, but haven’t found something helpful. Do you by any chance have a video or slides, or something that demonstrates? I do have kind of a system, but I need this to be more educational and scientific. Welcome thoughts and expertise. :))) Thank you!

I have not found one perfect way to transition down to the mat. But I will share with you my least and most favorite tips I have seen so far.

Please don’t do this one! It is so precarious on the knee and ankle joints, I can’t even imagine our lovely Seniors doing this!

Try this one!
