Teaching across ages means finding another route
La Nucía teacher Jesús Hernández describes adaptation and continuity in a class where students have different possibilities.
A November 11 interview with Jesús Hernández, director of La Nucía’s yoga school in Spain, returns to a practical teaching question: what happens when students in the same group cannot all do the same thing?
Experience makes room for alternatives
Hernández tells AQUÍ Medios de Comunicación that his older-adult groups can include people in their seventies and eighties with very different capacities. He describes offering another option when a movement is unsuitable, and taking particular care around movements that could disturb balance.
He also emphasizes continuity and patience rather than a fixed timetable for personal change. These are a teacher’s views and experience, not evidence that attending his classes will produce a particular health outcome.
La Nucía’s current municipal information confirms Hernández’s role and places yoga among its cultural schools. That setting gives the interview a local context. Its wider relevance is the ordinary work of teaching a mixed group: maintaining a shared practice without assuming that everyone needs the same route through it.
