YogaCon 2022: Yoga Supporting Mental Health
March 4-6th, 2022 RiverCenter, Davenport, Iowa
The Quad City Yoga Conference is thrilled to offer this event for folks interested in yoga from very beginners to advanced practitioners. This is our inaugural fundraising event, and all ticket sales go to funding QCYC’s work sharing yoga and mindfulness in our community. YogaCon 2022 highlights some of the best yoga teachers in the United States who are practicing deep work that supports mental health with the practices and discipline of yoga.
Amy will be presenting two YOGA FOR YOUR MOOD sessions, both Saturday :
Yoga For Your Mood Part 1
This session meets that couch potato feeling of lethargy, pandemic malaise, and negative self-talk that may or may not be clinical depression. We’ll learn and practice simple, accessible yoga skills—evidence-based breathing, imagery, sound and movement exercises that can meet and shift your mood, clear you mind, open your heart and give you more energy. These accessible practices can be used for you and those you serve. Appropriate to clinical settings, yoga classes, and self care.
Yoga For Your Mood Part 2
This session meets that revved up, hypervigilant mood that may keep you awake with worry and may or may not be an anxiety disorder. We’ll learn and practice simple, accessible yoga skills—evidence-based breathing, imagery, sound and movement exercises that can meet and shift your mood, calm your mind, soothe your heart and give you a good night’s sleep.
YogaCon also features presenters from all across the United States, including
- Keynote Speaker: Matthew Taylor
- Indu Arora
- Amy Weintraub
- Kristine Weber
- Pooja Virani
