2016 Summer Intensive Has One Opening

by Nina

Even though we quickly sold out our summer intensive way back in January, there is now an opening for one more attendee for the five-day program (we have no openings for teachers who wants certification). This summer's Yoga for Healthy Aging intensive will be held at Namaste Berkeley, in Berkeley, California from July 11-15, 2016. To sign up, please email Tosha at Namaste at: tt@ilovenamaste.com.

The 30-hour intensive will be held at Namaste Yoga in Berkeley, California. Baxter and I will conduct the training. The course will provide instructions on maintaining your physical, mental, and emotional health as you age. The main focus of the course is on preventative strategies, covering:

• Strength
• Flexibility
• Agility
• Balance
• Stress Management
• Circulatory System/Heart Health
• Brain Health
• Medical Conditions (in general)
• Equanimity 

We�ll present the scientific background that explains how and why yoga works to foster healthy aging, so you�ll understand which techniques to use when. And we�ll teach yoga the essential yoga poses, yoga sequences, and other practices that will set you up for a lifetime of practice.

This intensive is designed for relatively healthy, relatively physically able participants. It will not include instructions for or information about yoga for seniors who cannot stand unaided and need to practice in chairs. It also will not include information about using yoga as therapy for specific, individual medical conditions, although there will be a bit of general background on that subject.
