A workshop for yoga teachers working with seniors, and people
living with MS. We will explore ways of adapting and sequencing
yoga postures to improve flexibility, strength and balance
for students with limited mobility. Workshop participants
will learn and practice assisted stretches on the mat both
seated and standing. Learn how to modify traditional asanas
to counter common postural changes caused by forced inactivity
and repetitive stress injuries. Develop relaxation, breathing,
meditation and chanting practices for students with limited
mobility and even your own practice.
