Course Schedule at a Glance - Live Events

Most people over the age of 50 fall victim in one way or other to the epidemic of back pain, poor posture, achy joints, growing stiffness, limited mobility, and increased susceptibility to falls and injuries.

But here is the good news: This is not just a normal “part of getting older.” There are numerous things we can do to slow the degenerative processes the lie at the root of most aging-related changes. 

In fact, if we learn the right techniques, it is possible to rebuild our body and reset our aging trajectory and start down a better aging path.

Changing your aging trajectory requires understanding the hidden causes that trigger the vicious cycle of aging, These are the factors that slowly trap us in limited mobility, growing aches, an increasingly stooped and unflattering posture and/or chronic back pain.

Once you learn how to slow or reverse the underlying dynamics that accelerate the aging process, you can become one of the privileged "Superagers," i.e., people empowered to stay well and healthy well into their older years.

This is particularly the case of issues that lie at the root of degenerative changes in the spine and back that lead to back pain and mobility issues over time.

Primary among these are the deterioration of our posture and structural balance. These structural imbalances commonly show up as an increased slumping posture with increased levels of text neck, forward head posture, or hyperkyphosis.

Or they can show up as degenerative, adult-onset scoliosis, which causes a slowly increasing sideways curvature of the spine that can lead to numerous problems over time.

Ever tried to improve your posture? If so, you know that it ain't easy!

Improving posture is not a simple one-step process, it takes several coordinated and integrated processes. In this track, learn our proprietary system for posture improvement and how to reverse or improve common posture issues like forward head posture and hyperkyphosis.

In this course, you will learn yoga-based practices to improve posture and help prevent hyperkyphosis or adult-onset scoliosis.

And, importantly, if you’re a yoga teacher, you can build a successful teaching niche showing other people how to reset their aging trajectory and build their unique aging success path.

For this reason, we are pleased to invite you to join us for our new groundbreaking Yoga Teacher certification course with leading yoga therapists Doug Keller, Elise Browning Miller, Robin Rothenberg and other pioneers in integrating cutting-edge Western knowledge with yoga techniques for effective back care.

Learn about the subclinical processes that accelerate aging of your spine and how that spills over into numerous age-related conditions - and not just back pain! - that you really don’t want to have.
