BWYQ Level 4 Certificate in Teaching Gentle Years Yoga with Audrey Blow
Information about the course:
This blended-learning course has been designed to meet the National Occupational Standards for Adapting Exercise for Older People and trains teachers in the chair-based yoga modifications required for older adults with multiple long-term health conditions.
Unit 1 is the prerequisite knowledge or theory part to be completed before the start of the practical sessions.
Unit 1 is 42 hours of assessed distance learning with work to be submitted via electronic mail and interactive video lectures. It covers the Impact of Ageing, the Motivators and Barriers that Older People Face, the Physiology of Older Adults and Age-Related Conditions and Ethical and Legal Responsibilities including Safeguarding Adults. There are no tutor contact hours for this distance learning, but you will receive email guidance and feedback from your assessor.
Unit 2 is 84 hours (including 25 hours of
tutor contact), covering the skills or practical part of the course including a
short informal assessment of trainees instructing each other in the chair yoga
practices and dharana activities.
Saturday
9 October 2021 is the first practical session with GYY Tutor and Assessor
Audrey Blow. Four or five further Zoom
sessions to be arranged on Saturdays or Sundays.
The face-to-face days on Zoom are followed by the planning and delivery of a 6-week scheme of work, case studies and a formal Assessed Class Teaching which will be observed by your tutor/assessor or a Peripatetic Assessor from the Gentle Years Yoga PACTs list.
The programme helps older adults to stay physically active and builds skills which help to prevent falls. It also teaches yoga techniques to assist in the management of long-term conditions. The dharana activities can be invigorating and fun and the after-class social time with refreshments helps to reduce social isolation.
The work and the assessments are internally and externally quality assured to ensure that the standards are being consistently met across the nation. With publication of the large National Trial results at the end of 2022, we are anticipating that health commissioners will want to replicate the Gentle Years Yoga classes throughout Scotland, England and Wales, but evidence of a consistent standard will be essential.
