SENIOR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

​

Yoga classes that cater to the special needs of the over-65 age group are few and far between, as are trainings that educate yoga teachers on how to best serve these students. Over-65s are a rapidly growing, yet under-served, sector of our community - at the 2013 census there were over 607,000, and that number is predicted to double by 2038. Teachers who are knowledgeable in this area are well-placed to meet the need in the market, and therefore to increase their own marketability and create another income stream for their business.
