Back problems

Cardiac

Children

Seniors/Geriatric

Each class includes anatomy, physiology, yoga asanas and pranayams adapted to the specific needs of the study topic.

It is important to remember that Yoga teachers are not physicians or therapists. These classes will cover what is important for a teacher to know as a general guide to safety and wellness. They should be viewed as an aide to the teachers ability to:

Work with medical Wellness Programs

Help motivate and encourage students

Provide the tools students will need to achieve their wellness goals.
