4/21 Lifestyle Medicine: Yoga Therapy, Ayurveda & Public Health Course
Course Overview
This course is for yoga teachers and dedicated yoga students to stay connected to the wisdom, their teacher, and sangha/community.
This new accessible weekly format is designed to anchor you into your spiritual self-care practices, carving out just one hour per week on your lunch break to put everything else down and dip into the wisdom of Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda, to be applied to your life right now.
This course is also a sustainable reminder of how to best share these timeless teachings with your group class students, private yoga therapy clients, or family and friends.
I couldn’t be more excited about this course! A free-flowing forum to stitch together the most potent teaching of Yoga Therapy, Public Health, Ayurveda, and Positive Psychology.
I look forward to rich community discussions and increased connection points to elevate each other and the field of yoga therapy.
This course meets every Tuesday from 12:00-1:00PM PT on Zoom.
