Yoga for Your Mood
Live Virtual Workshop Wednesday, May 3, 2023
3-5 Pacific Time 6-8 Eastern
Join Amy LIVE ONLINE for an introduction to the work that saved her life. Accessible tools and interventions that can help anyone, anywhere. No yoga experience necessary, no pretzel poses!
For thousands of years, yogis have understood what current research in neurobiology and clinical observations are demonstrating — that, working with a body and breath-based practice, we can manage our moods.
This training interweaves the power of an ancient discipline with current scientific findings to help you release what’s no longer serving you — without a story attached! In this three-day training, you will discover the power of breathing exercises, guided meditations, and other experiential yogic tools for mood management that are not often taught in regular yoga classes but are useful in working therapeutically with individuals and groups.
You will discover breathing, postures, meditation techniques and other experiential yogic tools for mood management AND how to work therapeutically with individuals and groups.
The session will be recorded and the replay will be made available for those who are unable to attend live.
Explore evidence-based yogic tools, designed to
- Energize and elevate depressed moods
- Relax and calm anxiety
- Work with the chakra system
- Bring balance to your emotional body
