I'm here at the Being Yoga Conference with Yoga Bear Advisors Kelly & Megan. Kelly is leading the Mind + Body Tracks, and Megan and I are assisting. Today was an all day intensive for Yoga Therapy, led by Kelly and Matthew Taylor.
The class explored the mind-body relationship and awareness through yogic practices like asana, visualization, mudras, mantras, and meditation. Through experiential learning, we sampled healing methods and practices for individual issues like anxiety, pain, and fear. My favorite part was creating my own custom practice, where I rid my mind of fears of rejection through a sequence I created myself.
Each mental state impacts the body's systems (repeat: the mind is the body). Yoga Therapy aims to change the mind instead of targeting the body in order to heal. Visit the International Association of Yoga Therapists to learn more.
