Session #: 719-526
Presenter(s): Amy Weintraub, MFA, ERYT
Session Length: 2 hr. 00 min. Event: 2009 Networker Annual Symposium Date: March 26-29, 2009
Teaching your clients some simple yoga techniques (no mat required!) can help them focus, relax, calm their anxiety, and improve their ability for self-care outside of sessions. In this workshop, you'll learn how to identify a client's mood through an analysis of his or her breathing patterns, what yoga principles are particularly relevant for mood regulation, and how to integrate sound, breath, and visual imagery into clinical work. Among the techniques we'll discuss and practice are a variety of breathing techniques that elevate the mood, calm anxiety, interrupt panic attacks, and help focus the mind for ready access to feeling states. These tools also foster the therapeutic alliance, help clients accept themselves, and enhance the progress of therapy.
