Teaching Aging Yoga Students

Many yoga teachers feel uncertain about how to serve older students effectively. Students in their sixties, seventies, and eighties have different considerations than younger ones like, reduced range of motion, changing balance, concerns about bone density, slower recovery. But aging is not decline, and older adults are not fragile. They're still students who are capable of growth, adaptation, and are in need of a meaningful practice. This video breaks down everything yoga teachers need to know about working with aging bodies, from physical changes to practical modifications to teaching approaches that work. In this video, you'll learn: * What actually changes as we age * What older students are dealing with beyond the physical * How to approach teaching older adults respectfully and effectively * Specific modifications for common situations * Why function matters more than form * How to use language that empowers rather than patronizes * Chair yoga, arm variations, balance support, and bone density considerations RESOURCES: Teaching Students with Injuries Mentorship: https://www.enhanced-body.com/teaching-students-w-injuries Six-month mentorship with twice-monthly calls for working with students of all ages and abilities Designing Transformative Workshops: https://www.enhanced-body.com/offers/HzuAKmcE/checkout Learn to structure classes for specific populations including older adults ABOUT MONICA: I'm Monica from Enhanced Body, a yoga teacher with 2,000+ hours of continuing education in biomechanics, pain science, and injury mechanics.
