Yoga and Alignment for 50+
This specialized workshop is for anyone aged 50+ who wants to adapt and enhance their own yoga practice —
and for yoga teachers or movement professionals who want to confidently guide students in this age group in a safe, empowering, and accessible way (and receive CEC's).
Through the lens of the
Align Yoga Method, you’ll explore how alignment-focused practices can support healthy aging, improve mobility, build strength, and enhance balance. This half-day session blends functional anatomy with practical teaching strategies, helping you adapt poses for varying levels of flexibility, bone density, joint health, and energy.
In this 4-hour session, you’ll learn:
- Key alignment and sequencing principles to support aging bodies — whether your own or those of your students
- Modifications and prop-based variations for common postures to increase comfort, safety, and accessibility
- Gentle yet effective sequencing to improve stability, mobility, and joint health
- Breathwork and mindfulness techniques to regulate the nervous system and enhance overall well-being
- Safety considerations for conditions common in students 50+, such as osteoporosis, arthritis, and balance concerns
Bonus: You’ll also receive a professionally written guided meditation designed to support relaxation, body awareness, and confidence — perfect for your own use or to share in classes and private sessions.
Yoga & Alignment for 50+ is perfect for instructors who want to safely and effectively guide aging bodies — and equally valuable for anyone 50+ looking for ways to adapt their own practice for mobility, stability, and long-term joint health.
