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.

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. Maryam and Jafar are the co-authors of Pilgrimage Through Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras: Guidebook for 200 Hour Yoga Travelers\, a modern\, accessible approach to the ancient philosophical work of Yoga. \nExemplifying the Yogic life off the mat and beyond the studio\, Beloved Yoga is dedicated to giving back to the commUnity\, partnering with many outreach programs including Cornerstones\, the Southgate Community Center and the Teen Center of Fairfax County. Maryam founded and is co-director of Love Your Body Day\, an annual free event held since 2008 at the Reston Town Center bringing together local area yoga studios\, wellness practitioners\, eco-conscious vendors\, and Bhakti music for a fun day of healthy activities for the whole family. \nMaryam’s love expands to embrace the creative spirit. She serves on the board of the Greater Reston Arts Center and also makes time to explore creativity in her own life through writing poetry and mark making. She released Soundscapes to Contemplate\, a compilation CD of her poetry set to conscious electronic mantra music by artist and producer Saeed Younan.

SUMMARY:ONLINE  Healing from Within: Annual Easter & Passover Yoga for Healing Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Join Amy and Swami Swaroopananda\, Karla Helbert\, Shamini Jain\, Reverend Normandi Ellis\, Tzivia Gover\, Marilyn Rossner\, and Bishop Trevor Williamson for a very special holiday event. This symposium brings together leaders representing a number of important therapeutic modalities that draw on ancient spiritual wisdom\, modern psychology\, and the shared focus on healing from within. From yoga for anxiety and depression to ancient Egyptian healing rites\, dreamwork to narrative medicine\, we will further our understanding of the nature of healing. \nSpring is a season of rebirth and renewal\, a holy time for many when individuals of diverse faiths and beliefs engage in spiritual practices and rituals that hold great meaning and opportunities for healing. We invite you for a time of celebration\, learning\, and healing. \nJoin Amy Weintraub\, the author of the first book on yoga and mental health\, Yoga for Depression\, and the founder of LifeForce Yoga\, as she guides you home to your source\, unsullied by whatever life has to offer. You are already whole\, and when we’re intimately and eternally connected to our own true nature\, we are perfect\, just as we are. But living on planet earth is a disconnecting experience for us all\, especially in our current political climate.  Enjoy a full weekend as Amy leads with a special satsang talk. She’ll continue with two full workshops\, one featuring her signature LifeForce Yoga to Beat the Blues\, and another with calming practices and yoga nidra. \nJoin the love in the room and learn evidence-based practices that will open your heart and mind\, and help you manage your mood.

She is a certified IFS clinician and LFY practitioner. In her 17 years as a tenured associate professor in the Department of Human Development’s Marriage and Family Therapy Program at Virginia Tech\, Angela taught various clinical courses including Internal Family Systems and interpersonal neurobiology. Angela believes that when we are out of alignment with ourselves or with our partners\, our system (body\, mind\, spirit) lets us know. Sometimes our system uses the language of depression. Sometimes worry and anxiety. Sometimes anger or sadness. Sometimes aches and pains. Our internal system provides us feedback if we listen. \nFor more information\, see angelahuebner.com.
