Description:

Teaching aging bodies requires both skill and respect. This workshop supports you in working with adults 60+ across a wide spectrum, from active older adults to geriatric elders, including seniors navigating mobility limitations, chronic conditions, or pain. We’ll focus on common considerations: joint care, balance changes, muscle loss, stress and nervous system load, recovery time, and how common health conditions might affect instruction (within scope).

You’ll learn how to build classes that support steadiness, confidence, and functional strength without treating students as fragile. We’ll cover teaching strategies for osteoporosis and fall risk, how to pace transitions safely, and how to offer options that maintain agency. Expect practical sequencing tools and approaches that minimize unnecessary movement while still providing challenge and progress. You’ll leave with clarity for what to prioritize, what to avoid, and how to teach in a way that helps individuals feel more capable as they age.
