"Yoga for Healthy Aging through Functional Movement"

Why This Course Matters

As the baby boomer generation moves into its 60s, 70s, and beyond, the need for yoga practices that honor the realities of aging bodies has never been greater. Traditional yoga often overlooks how to safely support older practitioners or those healing from injury.

Rooted and Resilient bridges that gap—empowering both students and teachers to understand how functional movement, alignment, and rest create lasting strength, resilience, and ease.

If you want to age gracefully, teach skillfully, and live with embodied freedom, this course offers the map.

“Enjoy your body to enjoy your life — not despite aging, but through it.”
