SSP | Ask The Expert with Guest Chris McDonald- Yoga in Practice: Bringing the Breath & Body into Sessions
About the event
Yoga in Practice: Bringing the Breath & Body into SessionsThis training provides a clear foundation for integrating yoga into therapy by beginning with an introduction to what yoga in therapy is—and how it differs from a traditional yoga class—along with a focus on ethics and informed consent. Participants will explore research supporting yoga for anxiety, depression, and trauma, and learn essential principles of nervous system regulation. Through hands on, experiential breath and simple movement practices, therapists will gain firsthand experience they can immediately bring into sessions. The training then walks through practical ways to introduce yoga practices in a therapeutic setting and build confidence in applying these tools within scope of practice. We end with guidance on how to begin incorporating yoga and breathwork into therapy, along with helpful resources for continued learning.
