with Stephanie Cunningham

Friday 13 - Sunday 15 April 2012

Professional development for yoga teachers

Seniors are the fastest growing segment of our population with the oldest baby boomers turning 65 this year. Many seniors are looking for ways to remain healthy and active, and yoga can help them to do this.

However, while many older people can achieve great flexibility, this age group also presents with physical and mental challenges requiring the practice of yoga to be modified to make it accessible.

Stephanie Cunningham specialises in understanding and working with the needs and body changes of older students and the needs of people (not only seniors) with chronic illnesses or conditions. She possesses a solid knowledge of the physical and mental changes that seniors may experience.

This workshop will teach you how to design sequences and classes that work around the seniors special requirements while at the same time combating the attrition of the ageing process.
