In my opinion the ACE Senior Fitness Specialty Certification is the best, it is relativly new. it is up to date, current, and relevent to helping baby boomers enter the next phase in the best shape possible!

Hello Lynn,
I would agree with Joanne and Michael. Your current certification/s should be adequate to teach a senior based class.
If you still feel unsure about your teaching skills and knowledge, then I would further my education.

Sincerely,
Michael

Out of curiosity, why do you feel the need to obtain a certification to work with seniors?

If you were able to develop “a yoga based class for seniors” prior to any certification, do you not feel knowledgeable enough to now instruct it?

It would be great to hear your thoughts if you’ve got the time. Thanks in advance and I hope to hear back from you!
