With Livia Adia Budrys, LCSW, SEP, C-IAYT

August 8 - 14, 2022

Register now

The Yoga-Informed Psychotherapy training is aimed at introducing the provider to the use of yoga in the treatment of mental health and for improving wellbeing. Participants will explore the science behind why yoga works and introduce experientially the aspects of yoga that have been found to be highly effective in working with clients in a mental health context.

This training focuses on an integration of specific facets of yoga theory and skills, concepts in neurophysiology, and the neurobehavioral model of Somatic Experiencing and other body-based psychotherapies.

Through didactic presentation, experiential exercises, guided practice, dyad role play, group process and consultation, participants will walk away with a foundation in yoga philosophy and psychology, and in-depth skills for a spectrum of mental health concerns such as trauma-informed somatic therapies, breath-work, meditation, restorative yoga postures and an integrated lens of holistic based mental health treatment. Participants can also expect to gain new methods for self-care and ways to reduce burnout and restore professional wellbeing.
