Our 5-week, 10-hour Webinar Series for occupational therapists, licensed counselors, certified yoga therapists, and other health professionals presents the science and theory behind Sensory-Enhanced Yoga® and how and why it can be especially effective for addressing symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, mixed anxiety/depression, and related mental health conditions. The information can be applied both “on and off the mat” and presents an evidence-based roadmap for healing these conditions. No yoga experience is necessary.
Please note: This webinar series includes several experiential activities but is mostly lecture and discussion. This course provides a solid scientific and theoretical grounding for the chair and mat practices that are presented in the follow-up webinar series, “Sensory-Enhanced Yoga® for Self-Regulation & Trauma Healing, Part 2-The Practice”.
You can purchase a ticket to this webinar alone or as a combination with Part 2 for a $25 discount. Please Note: Each Part 1 offers two options for Part 2 if signing up for a Combo Package. Please read the dates carefully.
