In Yoga, one shoe doesn't fit all bodies, all levels of experience, all moods. Learn how to assess the mood - yours and your students', and design a menu of practices to meet you where you are. LifeForce Yoga interweaves the power of an ancient discipline with current scientific findings.
In a safe and accepting environment, you'll learn yogic strategies that can help you maintain your optimum mental health and methods to safely release chronically held tension and repressed emotion in the physical and emotional body.
We'll practice:
- Pranayama and kriya breathing techniques that regulate the emotions
- Meditations that lift the mood
- Creating Affirmations (sankalpa)
- Guided Visualizations (bhavana)
- Tones that regulate the emotions (mantras)
- Hand gestures that affect different areas of the chakra system and the body (mudras)
- Yoga asanas suitable for all levels
You'll leave feeling refreshed and renewed, with ancient strategies to revitalize your practice and manage your mood. Psychotherapists, health professionals, and Yoga teachers will learn techniques they can use to help their clients focus, relax and have greater access to their feelings.
