About the Course

I see emotional wellbeing as being able to navigate the ups and downs of our lives without getting stuck in anxiety or depression. To be able to experience the difficult emotions that come with burn out, loss, or sadness and to still be able to find our way back to happiness.

In this workshop, we will learn how the yoga models of consciousness; particularly the koshas, gunas and kleshas, can help us to understand emotional balance from an energetic perspective. We will also learn how we can use the tools of yoga such as asana, pranayama, yoga nidra, sankalpa and meditation to help our clients.

In the morning, I will lead you through a practical kosha exercise to exploring your own emotional wellbeing and showing you how to plan yoga practices that will help you work towards balance and to greater happiness and health.
In the afternoon, in a practical session we will look at how this knowledge and the latest scientific research into yoga for emotional health, can help you to adapt your yoga classes to work with people who are living with these problems.
