Join Amy Weintraub,
founder of the LifeForce Yoga Healing Institute and
author of Yoga for Depression, along with a
distinguished faculty from the US and Canada, who will guide
you through a unique experiential learning program.
From early morning practice,
through two 3-hour program sessions
to enriching evening
workshops,
each day offers
LifeForce Yoga®
tools to dissolve the obstacles
that block the flow of your own healing energy.
Along with an attainable sequence of postures, we’ll
explore aspects of Yoga often ignored in a regular class
that can facilitate the safe release of chronically held
tension and repressed emotion. The
LifeForce Yoga®
protocol is evidence-based and designed to support mood
management and therefore self-efficacy.
The LifeForce Yoga®
strategies you will learn include sound, breath, imagery,
meditation, body sensing, self-inquiry exercises,
therapeutic long holding of posture, and affirmations that
arise from your own, your student’s and/or your client’s
authentic experience of self.
Experience for
yourself the shift in your outlook as we practice exercises
that can change your life and the lives of those you serve.
Whether you come for the training or just the retreat, you'll
return home feeling refreshed, renewed and excited about
your 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.
Phoenix
Rising Yoga Therapy
sessions,
nondual spiritual counseling, and massage will be available.
Those taking the
LifeForce Practitioner Training for
certification will have extended hours.
The additional hours and the training manual are included in
the training fee.
