Senior Yoga Training

Judy Mortellaro

$90 | 4600 Copper Avenue NE

This course is designed to provide the participants with the knowledge and techniques to most effectively work with the student who is 55 years or older. Emphasis will be on how to make the asanas accessible to all regardless of their limitations. Anatomy and physiology, changes associated with aging, assistance with breath enhancement, stability, balance, and altered mobility, will be addressed. We will discuss how to meet lifestyle challenges such as diet, activity, and more. This workshop incorporates all the elements listed by the Yoga Alliance as standards for CEU’s.

Judy teaches yoga so that it is accessible to all. She utilizes 35 years of nursing knowledge combined with 15 years of yoga experience. She teaches classes specifically for seniors and those who need special modification as well as classes targeted toward general audiences including beginners and intermediate students. What ties all her classes together is her emphasis on alignment and the fundamentals of yoga enabling students of all levels to get the most out of their yoga practice. She is adjunct faculty for HDY Teachers’ Training at both the 200 and 300 hr. level. She is a 500 hr E-RYT. Judy developed and directs the High Desert Yoga Senior Yoga Teachers Training Program.

200 Hour: Study of Self and Deepening the Practice

High Desert Yoga

$2895 | High Desert Yoga


Students in the 200 hour Teacher Training Program embark on a journey deeper into their practice and themselves. For many, the agreement to join the program marks the first time the student accepts a more rigorous schedule of study and a more comprehensive definition of the practice. From this new challenge, students have the opportunity to discover more subtle, interior layers of themselves. Students will be given a classical yogic framework with which to reevaluate habits and patterns in mind and body as to their relevance in the present. This course is relevant to anyone wishing a deeper understanding of the system of yoga, even if teaching is not a goal.

Four days of laughter, love and life changing experiences.  A whole new array of creative ways to connect with children.  We ask that you bring an open heart and your love for children.

This ground-breaking work offers exceptional skill-building  approach to asana, breathing, teaching and relaxation.  As parents, yoga teachers and child-focused professionals, you will ground in the concepts and methods as developed by award winning yoga for children pioneer, Marsha Wenig, during her 25 years of study, research, practice, and teaching.

This course will give you all the tools you need to create your own yoga program for older kids, preteens, and teens. Through the use of games, props, and sequencing, we will transform traditional practice into a creative, stimulating, and—most importantly—FUN yoga experience for children ages nine and up.
