Course Overview

This specialized yoga teacher training is designed to prepare you to teach yoga to an older population and/or anyone with physical limitations.

With over fifty-five million Seniors (age 65 and older) in America right now, the demand for a comprehensive program that increases strength and range of motion will continue to grow.

By using chairs and other props, participants will learn how to adapt a traditional one hour yoga class to meet the needs of absolute beginners as well as Seniors who have done yoga for many years. 

We will do an in depth exploration of two separate sequences - one basic and one intermediate - so that upon completion of the course you will have the required skills to guide students through a gentle, yet invigorating, class. Modifications of all postures will be discussed, as well as the proven benefits of stretching, pranayama and meditation.

Open to all movement instructors or anyone without a certificate who has practiced yoga consistently for at least five-years.

Group practice will meet at Stone Wave Yoga in Gardiner, NY but the course may also be done virtually from your own home. Classes will be recorded so you may revisit them at any time.

Some participation in regularly scheduled yoga classes will also be required in order to see how other teachers instruct Senior classes.  

The course fee will include the workbook as well as all fees for additional classes with Michael Stein and other Stone Wave instructors.

This course may be used to fulfill 40 credits with Yoga Alliance for ongoing education.

YOUR FACILITATOR

Michael Stein has been practicing yoga for many lifetimes but still hasn’t quite figured it out. During his most recent incarnation he has been teaching for thirty years. His parents first introduced him to the asanas at the age of five and then tricked him into joining them on multiple yoga holidays by promising that they were en route to Disneyland.

He was the Director of Ashtanga Yoga of New Paltz where he led multiple workshops and 18 teacher training programs. Nothing makes Michael happier than imparting his love of yoga to students. His classes blend traditional Hatha Yoga with Vinyasa and Pilates. He has taught workshops in NYC, New Jersey, New Paltz and Bath, England but still has not made it to Disneyland.
