Webinar Description:

This Webinar is based on the presentation given at the 2019 CCPA Conference in Moncton, NB.

Participants will be given an overview of two key yoga principles: the Pancha Kosha model of self, and theories of human suffering and healing as presented in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. These frameworks serve as a taking off point for examining chronic pain, substance misuse, anxiety, and depression. Moving beyond yoga postures, this presentation encourages participants to honour the full spectrum of wisdom offered by classical yoga theories and techniques.

Yoga Therapy is a growing field that uses yoga techniques to encourage healing and wholeness. While yoga therapists are highly trained, there are many safe, accessible techniques that counsellors can integrate into their sessions ethically and responsibly to enhance healing. 

Presenter: Amy Rubin
