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

Somatic Solutions For Chronic Pain & Discomfort (free) online
2026-01-14 - 2026-01-17
Somatic Solutions For Chronic Pain & Discomfort (free) Online Masterclass
Living with chronic pain and discomfort is exhausting—not just physically, but emotionally.
When you’re in the thick of it, it’s easy to feel isolated, anxious, or even hopeless. You might feel like your world has started to shrink as you say “no” to the things you love, simply because your body feels like it’s stuck in a permanent state of “high alert.”
The truth is, chronic pain often creates a protective feedback loop in the nervous system. While the body can become very skilled at “bracing” for pain, the good news is that your nervous system is incredibly plastic. This means that with the right somatic tools, you can “retrain” your body to move out of survival mode and back into a state of ease.
You don’t have to stay stuck in the cycle of bracing and discomfort.
I have an amazing opportunity to share with you that offers a clear roadmap toward that relief. I highly recommend you join me for this FREE online series from AVAIYA University:
Somatic Solutions For Chronic Pain & Discomfort
This online series is brought to you by iKE ALLEN & Ande Anderson, Co-Owners of AVAIYA University (creators & teachers of transformational courses, books, films and online events such as, Overcoming Anxiety & Fear, Breaking Free From Trauma, Healing Your Nervous System, and many more).
Here’s just some of what you’ll learn from 20 somatic experts, doctors, scientists & more:
Heal the “Protection” Response: Understand why “Your Pain Makes Sense” as a nervous system signal and how to transition from a state of bracing to a state of ease.

Release Resistance with Mindfulness: Learn to stop the “second arrow” of suffering by softening your lens and using mindfulness to dissolve the mental struggle against physical discomfort.

Micro-Movements for Macro Relief: Use simple facial movements and daily mindful habits to relieve deep-seated physiological and mental discomfort.

Master the Nervous System “Reset”: Discover how Neurogenic Tremoring and somatic pathways allow your body to naturally shake off stored survival energy and tension.

Stop Fighting Your Symptoms: Shift from fear and frustration to calm curiosity using somatic inquiry to change your literal relationship with physical pain.

The Power of the Breath: Learn specific breath and movement strategies designed to create immediate space and “fluid movement as medicine” for your core.

The Food-Pain Connection: Discover how to reverse chronic disease and inflammation using simple “supermarket foods” and dietary shifts that act as internal medicine.

Quantum Healing & Energy Medicine: Explore Embodied Quantum Osteopathy and Quantum-Touch to transform pain at the energetic and cellular levels.

Targeted Relief for Pelvic Health: Gain specialized somatic tools to address the unique complexities of chronic pelvic pain and tension.

Tapping Into Relief: Master the power of EFT (Tapping) to process the emotional charge often trapped within chronic physical symptoms.

Herbal & Mind-Body Integration: Understand the profound link between the mind and body, and how specific herbs can support the physical recovery process.

Creating Your Pathway to Freedom: Learn to “Wild your Core” and use yoga-based somatic pathways to reclaim your bodily autonomy and move with confidence again.

Join us now for this FREE series & discover the solutions you and your loved ones need to heal.
