LifeForce Yoga Skills for Healing Professionals

Connect from your heart’s mind to your client’s with clinically appropriate, evidence-based practices. Help clients self-regulate and manage their energy and their moods. When you guide a yoga skill in a session, you will find your client has greater focus, access to feelings, and is ready to dive deeper into the healing work you offer. Learn yoga techniques that can be done in a chair, right in your office, that offer you an energy boost and a calm and focused mind, even as you teach them to your clients.

Nearly twenty years of research, thirty years of practice, and Amy’s recovery from a debilitating depression inform this protocol of evidence-based yoga practices.

You will leave feeling refreshed, renewed, and excited about incorporating new tools into your home, teaching, or clinical practice to bring balance to the emotional and physical body.
