Your Age Does Not Matter Series:
We know that as we get older, falls (and fear of falling) can have a huge impact on someone’s quality of life. Not only does the evidence show that more than 90% of all hip fractures are due to falls, the resultant fear of falling can stop people from doing the things they need to do to improve.
In Better Balance, you will learn about 3 key deficits that contribute to a loss of balance and key exercises and techniques to improve and maintain balance.
Who it is for
This is a professional training designed for experienced yoga teachers and health care professionals who want to integrate therapeutic aspects of yoga into their practice. Like many of my other professional programs, non-yoga teachers/non-health professionals are welcome.
What you will learn:
A. The 6 key areas that contribute to balance issues, and practices to create:
Improved Coordination and Reduced Compensation Patterns – How to improve neuromuscular connection and how that improves how the nervous and myofascial systems work together
Vestibular (Inner Ear – Brain) Connection – inner ear, dizziness and spatial orientation.
Visual (Vision – Brain) Connection – and how signals are sent from the eye to the brain.
Dual Tasks – how to do two unrelated tasks at the same time – like talking and walking
Better Brain Function – clearer thinking can improve reaction time.
Deliberate Rest – how powerful relaxation, rest, and down-regulating the nervous system are to all of the above occurring smoothly and easily.
B. You’ll explore evidence-based screening tools to assess these issues, as well as exercises and sequences to help improve your client’s competency in all of them, and in turn help them improve their balance.
C. You will learn the WHY behind each of the sequences, and how to provide modifications and substitutions.
Course Format
