Yoga for mood works. We live in challenging times and incidence of anxiety and depression, stress and anger are on the rise. We know a steady yoga practice can help us navigate these difficulties and gain emotional resilience.

Amy will share her evidenced-based protocols in this experiential immersion. Teaching through the lenses of current scientific research, personal experience, and ancient Yogic philosophy, she will illuminate how our nervous system can become stuck, and how we can amplify balance and health.

You will

*    Learn to individualize practice for yourself and your students.

Nearly twenty five years of research, thirty+ years of practice, and Amy’s personal recovery from a debilitating depression inform this protocol of evidence-based yoga practices. Learn tools not taught in regular yoga classes to boost your own healing journey and support those you serve.
