Wheel assistSunday, September 17, with Monica Voss

As teachers, we use hands on assists to work directly with the principles of grounding and elongation supporting students to move freely and with confidence in advanced postures. During this workshop we will explore variations and options for safe and productive hands on assists, work in partners or small groups and discuss our experiences. Yoga teachers and teacher trainees at all levels are welcome.

Chair Yoga

Chair YogaFriday, October 20, with Shari Stein

Chair Yoga is a viable and refreshing alternative to yoga on the mat. We will ground, breathe and lengthen our spines as we would in any yoga session, and creatively adapt the poses for a wide range of students, from residents of assisted living facilities, to those in business suits enjoying yoga during the lunch hour. This workshop is suitable for yoga students and teachers who wish to expand their repertoire to include Chair Yoga. Guided meditation and breathing practices are included.

Empowering the Aging Body

Friday, 10:00am-4:45pm, Saturday, 10:00pm-5:30pm,
Sunday, 10:00am-5:00pm, $425

As the population ages, teachers must inform themselves about natural changes in the body as well as common conditions such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and lower back pain. Changes in outlook also occur in older students as they contemplate their lives and goals. Through practice, discussion and analysis, we will explore these and other issues of aging and create intelligent and supportive options in order to instruct older students holistically with energy, knowledge and empathy.

Empowering the Aging Body is intended for certified and non-certified yoga and meditation teachers, teachers-in-training, health professionals, therapists, social workers and interested students of yoga. CEU’s awarded through Yoga Alliance.

“For those who have done yoga for 30, 40 years but are aging and for those who start in their 60’s, the approach at Esther Myers Yoga Studio is accessible and enjoyable. read more from our students and teachers.
