In this course you’re invited to challenge limiting beliefs around ageing and to work towards clarity of life-purpose. In each session we show a series of short videos from experienced elders that are at the core of The Power in Ageing. After each video, an expert facilitator will invite you to reflect and explore your own responses to the key issues raised. You can then share (if you wish) or actively listen to others in a small facilitated group. There are also some optional activities that are engaging or fun. By bringing your own life experience and wisdom, you explore how you can enjoy each day in the present and live a fulfilled life in the future. In past courses, participants have found this revolutionary approach to ageing to be both beneficial and enjoyable. This is a safe programme that is tried and tested and is designed for people in their forties through to their seventies and above. It’s for people of all faiths or of no faith. There will be a couple of 5 minute break in each session so you can stay fresh and focused on the programme. We provide some Power of Ageing reading material after each session to help you get the most out of the course. (optional) We also offer an optional one-to-one follow up call after the course has finished. £45 for all 3 sessions "It's hugely important for me as an older man to re-engage with my peers, and with this time of life, positively. Life-stage offers me a creative, safe and beneficial way to do that." DAVID PUGSLEY "I attended the power of ageing course and was amazed to learn the different paths the attendees had taken to reach our age, how we'd all coped with the hurdles life had put in front of us.

Description Yoga Practitioner Diploma Yoga is a spiritual and ascetic discipline based on the ancient art of gaining deep awareness of our true selves and living in harmony with our environment. The term is derived from the Vedic Sanskrit 'yuj' which means 'to join' or 'to unite'. The practice of yoga incorporated practical, methodical and systematic techniques like breath control, simple meditation and certain body postures to enhance physical and mental health. Yoga makes the body physically strong and flexible and improves the functioning of bodily systems such as respiratory, circulatory, digestive and hormonal systems. Yoga can assist you to gain emotional balance and mental clarity. In the contemporary world, there are many misconceptions regarding this sublime art of spiritual ascension. First of all, yoga is not a religion or a religious practice. Yoga is a secular art which is considered to have originated in India. The origins of yoga can be traced back to the sixth and fifth centuries BCE in the pre-Vedic Indian traditions. Secondly, yoga is not a fad and it does not belong to the East. More than 15 million people in America practice yoga and it has been around in the West for more than a hundred years. Thirdly, yoga is not just about body postures. It is true that specific bodily postures serve as a good starting point for the multifaceted and multi-layered art of yoga. But yoga is in its true essence a path to finding inner peace and being one with nature. Yoga techniques include breathing (pranayama), control of subtle forces (mudra and bandha), cleansing the body-mind (shat karma), visualizations, chanting of mantras, and various other meditative forms in addition to posture (asana). Yoga practitioner diploma is a user-friendly course about the vast and profound field of yoga. The yoga practitioner course takes the aspirants through a slow and step-by-step journey into the art of unlocking one's true potential and helping them to become successful yoga teachers.
