SUMMARY:LIVE Webinar: Yoga for Depression as Alzheimer's Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Online Registration\n\n\nTuesday\, September 28\, 2021\n4pm PT/5pm MT/6pm CT/7pm ET \nResearch shows a strong relationship between depression and Alzheimer’s disease. In fact\, a history of major depression is a risk factor for later development of Alzheimer’s disease. And those with dementia often develop symptoms of both depression and anxiety. Luckily\, yoga has been proven to be an effective lifestyle modality to manage depressive symptoms. I am grateful to be a part of this\, as I’m passionate about supporting treatments for #AlzheimersDisease. \nThe loss of my mother’s memory and the changes in her personality were painful for us all. In the middle stage\, she was more loving than she had ever been. As her disease progressed and she no longer recognized me and my daughter\, her beloved granddaughter; she was angered by our presence.\nI believe that yoga\, particularly mantra and mudra\, can help keep our neurons firing and our synapses connecting.\n\nPlease join me to talk about the LifeForce Yoga practices I do to protect my brain \nI will talk about ways in which yoga can protect our brains and shift our moods. We will practice a number of brief and accessible yoga mood-shifters from my new card deck\, Yoga for Your Mood\, just released from Sounds True. No mat or previous experience required! \n\nIn this webinar\, you will discover: \n– A yoga breathing exercise that activates ventral vagal activity\, regulates the autonomic nervous system\, and leaves the practitioner feeling calm and alert. \n– A short evidence-based yoga meditation that includes a hand gesture\, visual imagery\, and a mantra tone that builds confidence\, clarity and self-efficacy. \n– The evidence-based biochemical changes in the brain as a result of yoga and meditation so as to explain to patients/clients. \n– Principles of Yoga that pertain to emotional balance and mood regulation. \nAmy is the founder of the LifeForce Yoga® Healing Institute\, an acclaimed yoga therapist\, and a pioneer in the field of yoga and mental health. Author of the best-selling “Yoga for Depression\,” the new card deck from Sounds True\, “Yoga for Your Mood: 52 Ways to Shift Depression and Anxiety\,” and “Yoga Skills for Therapists\,” she teaches and guides thousands of practitioners and therapists around the world. Her Silver Nautilus Award-winning novel “Temple Dancer” was released in 2020. She thrives in Tucson\, Arizona where she mountain bikes\, dances\, writes\, and creates. In 1999\, Amy wrote “The Natural Prozac\,” Yoga Journal’s first article addressing yoga and mental health. \nThe link for Zoom video access will be sent out in the confirmation email after registration is completed. This webinar will also be recorded and sent to you a few days later. \nImportant: Please add admin@arpf.com to your contact list so no communication gets lost in spam. \nThis webinar is part of ARPF’s fundraising initiative. Your registration fee ensures we can continue our outreach and educational programs.

SUMMARY:Yoga Therapy for ALL podcast
DESCRIPTION:As yoga therapists\, we are often called upon to offer therapeutic yoga for mood disorders in health care\, or residential settings like detention centers\, disordered eating clinics\, and halfway houses\, where yoga may be prescribed but not chosen by those we serve. In these environments yoga may seem inaccessible or weird or just plain boring. We know that yoga is effective for mood regulation. In this scientific review of yoga and depression\, The Efficacy of Yoga as a Form of Treatment for Depression\, the abstract states:  “…it can be concluded that the yoga interventions were effective in reducing depression.” Still\, for some\, yoga sounds too difficult\, or even elitist. How do we make yoga accessible and acceptable and fun? \nThursday\, August 19\, Amy Wheeler\, PhD\, and I take on discussions about yoga therapy and making it enjoyable for those who haven’t chosen yoga\, but have been prescribed it for mental health support⁠. It’s not always pretzel-poses that provide real relief\, and anyone can take part\, no matter who or where you are. We’ll discuss my new card deck\, just released from Sounds True\, “Yoga for Your Mood: 52 Ways to Shift Depression and Anxiety“\, and the importance of meeting the mood.⁠ ✨We’ll talk about how to make yoga inclusive\, how to give clients a stronger sense of agency in their lives\, and much more!⁠ ???? Join us next Thursday HERE\, or wherever you stream your podcasts!⁠ \nThe new podcast\, “Yoga Therapy Hour with Amy Wheeler” is a joint production with Give Back Yoga Foundation. Our goal is to educate and promote the field of yoga therapy and nourish our listeners at the same time. We hope that yoga teachers\, yoga therapists\, physicians\, psychologists\, health educators and people interested in the mind-body connection will enjoy the content. We share topics on specific health ailments\, talk about how yoga therapy can complement allopathic care or stand-alone\, discuss research and education\, and more. We look at social justice in the field of yoga therapy and the emerging trends in healthcare and beyond. We have a guest list from all over the world so that we can work together to bring yoga therapy to the world and reduce suffering. \nGive Back Yoga University is our partner in creating social change and they help us to produce and promote this podcast. They are a charitable organization that helps bring yoga to those in need.

Throughout this session\, we will nourish our bodies and calm our minds with self-care practices that can also be used with the precious beings we serve. Includes an experiential component. \nClick for 2021 Speakers \nRecommended reading/listening/viewing Amy Weintraub\, Yoga for Depression and Yoga Skills for Therapists\, LifeForce Yoga to Beat the Blues—Levels 1 & 2 (DVD)\, and LifeForce Yoga® CD Series; Tami Simon\, (Ed.)\, Darkness Before Dawn: Redefining the Journey Through Depression. \nThis program is open to everyone; it may be of specific interest to yoga teachers\, bodyworkers\, and healthcare professionals. \nNB: The workshop fulfills the prerequisite for the LifeForce Yoga Practitioner Training.

Bring your questions and let’s engage in a meaningful conversation to expand perspective with the fire of TEMPLE DANCER! \n\n\n\n \nAmy Weintraub\, MFA\, ERYT-500\, C-IAYT\, YACEP\nAmy Weintraub\, MFA\, E-RYT 500\, YACEP\, C-IAYT\, is the founder of LifeForce Yoga® and a pioneer in the field of yoga and mental health. She is the author of Yoga for Depression (Broadway Books) and Yoga Skills for Therapists (W.W. Norton) and numerous magazine articles and book chapters. Amy is trained in Internal Family Systems\, Level 2\, and collaborates with IFS-certified therapists to offer integrated programs of IFS and LifeForce Yoga. She has been a consultant for research on the impact of Yoga on mood\, and the evidence-based Yoga protocols for depression and anxiety she developed are used in therapeutic settings internationally and are featured on award-winning audio-visual products for mood management. \nAmy’s latest offering\, Yoga for Your Mood Deck: 52 Ways to Shift Depression and Anxiety\, will be published by Sounds True/Macmillan in Spring 2021\, and her new novel Temple Dancer\, set in India in the 1940’s and in current day USA\, is on sale now. amyweintraub.com \n\n\nMaryam Ovissi\, E-RYT 500\, RCYT\, RPYT\, YACEP\n \nMaryam is a certified Yoga Therapist with the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) and under the tutelage of Bhekaji Lynch\, she received her 500-hour Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT) accreditation with Yoga Alliance. Maryam’s personal mission as a teacher of Yoga is to provide an opportunity for her students to have access to tools that allow self-healing\, self-empowerment and self-realization. Her unique style provides space for multi-level practitioners to journey through Yoga in group\, semi-private and private classes. In her private Yoga teaching\, Yogic tools are offered that serve the person and their personal intentions. \nMoved by the declining mental and physical health statistics of Americans today\, Maryam created Beloved Yoga’s signature Befriending Yoga Therapy program to offer classes that serve a range of clients and a variety of health conditions. Trauma-informed teachers offer private and semi-private classes designed for a variety of health issues including lower back pain\, hip and knee replacements\, spinal fusions\, invasive surgeries\, traumatic physical injuries\, chronic conditions\, emotional stress and mental imbalances from cognitive to stress-induced confusion. Maryam’s specialties in trauma lie in her experience with medical trauma\, including invasive surgeries\, cancer and all the layers of treatment around cancer\, as well as complex medical conditions that create medical trauma. \nMaryam received a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Arts Management from Boston University in 1998\, and soon thereafter she became an avid student of Yoga. She began studying privately with her first teacher\, Simin Yahaghi\, in California. Maryam has been teaching Hatha\, Hatha Flow\, Vinyasa\, Prenatal and Baby & Me classes since 2001. \nHonoring the lineage and teachings of Sri Krishnamacharya\, Maryam upholds the principle that the Yoga practice is a personal and individual journey and not a one-size-fits-all practice. Although A.G. & Indra Mohan\, Bhekaji Lynch and Jafar Alexander continue to serve as her main teachers\, she claims nothing can replace the gifts and wisdom born forth by showing up for herself every day through Sadhana (personal practice). She continues to study with renowned teachers in the world of Yoga. \nRecognizing the need for teachers who offer safe instruction and instill the ancient teachings of Yoga\, Maryam founded the Beloved Yoga School in 2008 to offer teacher training programs. Under the guidance of Maryam and the school’s director\, Jafar Alexander\, the Beloved Yoga School offers Yoga Alliance certified trainings\, including a 200-hour teacher training\, a 300-hour advanced teacher training\, a prenatal and toLabor doula teacher training\, a children’s Yoga teacher training and the Beloved Yoga Certification Program. The Beloved Yoga School meets the standards set by Yoga Alliance and is a member school of the International Association of Yoga Therapists.
