For thousands of years, yogis have understood what current research in neurobiology and clinical observations are demonstrating-that emotion particularly traumatizing emotion, is stored in the physical body. LifeForce Yoga interweaves the power of an ancient discipline with current scientific findings. You'll learn strategies that can help alleviate both depression and anxiety 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 Affirmation (samkalpa)
- Guided Visualizations (bhavana)
- Tones that regulate the emotions (mantras)
- Yoga asanas suitable for multilevel practitioners
You'll leave feeling refreshed, renewed, and excited about your home practice with new tools to work with your mood. Psychotherapists and yoga teachers will learn techniques they can use to help their clients focus, relax, and have greater access to their feelings.
