Further Education for Yoga Teachers: online courses with Maria Kirsten
​

​Yoga ​for Older Grownups Training 
The intention of this course is empower yoga teachers to teach older grownups in a way that is both accessible and empowering. We not only teach yoga, but we use yoga as a means for students to know and understand and care for themselves. The course will support teachers to offer choices and modifications, and to build students' capacity to make informed choices for themselves. The Yoga for Older Grownups Teacher Training goes beyond teaching set sequences and modifications by empowering yoga teachers to synthesise knowledge of the aging process, common health conditions and injuries, and health promotion best practice to confidently and safely support older individuals in their classes. Click here for more information

Yoga for Mental Health Training 
The intention of this course is to help yoga teachers practice and teach yoga in a way that supports their own and their students' mental health. We re-orient the focus from performing poses and practices to using them as opportunities to sense internally, to explore curiously, and to respond compassionately to challenges and opportunities as they arise. The course is not a certification in teaching yoga for any particular diagnosis. It is about understanding mental health from a yogic framework and from the framework of recovery; it is about understanding how yoga works on a scientific and experiential level, and it is about knowing how to create a safe, ethically responsible, trauma informed environment in which to offer yoga.  Click here for info
