Be clear about key considerations for safely and effectively teaching older adults, and how to develop the skills needed to support their practice.
Describe a finding from the 13-year study on yoga-related injuries that relates to Seniors. Be clear about why the style or lineage of yoga you were trained in relates to the additional training you will need to teach Seniors. Describe how you might communicate to new Senior students to help make them feel safe. Explain a fundamental consideration related to the Seniors you are teaching.
