On Demand Course: Yoga Skills for Depression

Description

Reviews of yoga research indicate that there is strong evidence for yoga’s effectiveness in supporting people with depression. Given that the fundamental premise of yoga is to still and regulate the mind, this is perhaps unsurprising.

In this on-demand course, Heather Mason—an established leader in the field of yoga therapy for mental health—provides an overview of depression, explores why yoga can be an effective therapeutic approach, and outlines best practices and important precautions. The course also includes practical sessions that add essential skills to the toolkit of any yoga professional.

Who is this course for?

This course is suitable for:

• Yoga teachers who wish to offer classes that are responsive to students living with depression, while continuing to teach in their own style

• Yoga teachers who are beginning to explore specialisation in yoga therapy for depression

• Mental health professionals who would like to integrate yogic techniques into their work

This course provides an understanding of yoga’s therapeutic role in depression, alongside practical skills to support greater ease, stability, and psychological resilience in those you work with.

Please note: this is not a complete training for specialising in the field of yoga or yoga therapy for depression.
