With relation to Adult Learning, the
following may be said ...
 Adults need to know why they are
learning something
 The basis for learning relates to
experience or error
 Adults need to be aware and
responsible for their own learning
 Adults like to learn if something is
relevant to their life
 Adults learn when there is a gap
between the current state of things
versus the desired state of things
 Adults respond to learning in a
more positive fashion when the
motivation is within themselves as
opposed to external reasons

Relax and Renew—Restorative Yoga

the reduction of blood pressure and blood sugar levels in the blood. Also, an improvement of digestion, fertility, elimination, the
reduction of muscle tension, insomnia and fatigue, and an increase of the “good cholesterol” levels.
