BWYQ Level 4 Certificate in Teaching Gentle Years Yoga with Gillian Gee

---

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 practical skills-based part of the course including chair yoga practices and dharana activities and a short teaching assessment.

The first practical sessions Saturday 1 April 2023, Sunday 2 April 2023, Saturday 22 April 2023

9am to 5pm, Sunday 23 April 2023, 9am to 1pm (25 Hours)

The face-to-face days 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. 

You will be able to join the Gentle Years Yoga© Register upon successful completion of the BWYQ Level 4 Certificate course.
