Yoga Before and After Hip Replacement

The number of people with hip replacement is on the rise, and the largest increase is in the 45-54 age group.If you're a yoga teacher looking to keep your students safe and/or attract more students for privates, it's essential to learn how to teach yoga safely to this group of people.

And, if you're 'simply' looking to understand the changes that lead to hip replacement and how to prevent or slow them, this course is for you as well.

Can yoga help people preparing for a hip replacement and even help you recover faster? If you already have a hip replacement, which are the yoga postures that are safe and which should you avoid?

And, for yoga teachers, which are the teaching practices that are particularly useful for people with hip replacement?

These are some of the questions that Dr. Loren Fishman and Ellen Saltonstall will address in this groundbreaking online course. As the number of yoga practitioners grows, students with special health needs and age-related issues become increasingly common.

Such people have much to gain from yoga, but it takes special teaching skills and knowledge to ensure a safe and rewarding practice. This is a unique opportunity to study online with two leading pioneers in the development of safe yoga teaching methodology for people over 50.
