Subtle® Yoga for Positive Mental Health: Brief Interventions
Apr 12, 2024 Closed Mental Health
Description
A growing body of research demonstrates the efficacy of yoga for mental health, including the neurobiologic benefits of these ancient practices. Health care is often delivered in a fast-paced, volume based context. During this one day workshop, participants will learn how to guide clients through several safe and effective yoga-based interventions which can provide clients with tools for self-regulation, grounding, and empowerment. With minimal training or athletic or physical capacity, most people can learn some of these safe skills. Health care professionals may begin to experience the powerful benefits and share these practices safely with others.
Subtle® Yoga courses are a unique offering of holistically oriented, mind-body behavioral healthcare. You are welcome to take any Subtle® Yoga modules on an individual basis (as multiple or sole trainings) or in any order, except for the Subtle® Yoga Teacher Training Certification for Behavioral Health Professionals: Teaching Yoga to Individuals and Groups (RYT200) which begins in Winter/Spring of 2025.
