Don’t stay stuck in a bad mood or thinking that limits you. Not only will these practices shift your mood, but they may change your life as they did for Amy and the thousands of students she has trained. Learn accessible Yoga practices that support you and those you serve to achieve and sustain emotional wellbeing.

Amy experienced firsthand the relief that Yoga can provide and has spent her career helping others who suffer from mood disorders like depression and anxiety. Now, she offers accessible practices to everyone, no Yoga experience required.

You’ll practice:

• Pranayama and kriya (breathing techniques) that regulate the emotions
• Meditations that lift the mood
• Sankalpa (affirmations)
• Bhavana (guided visualizations)
• Mantras (tones) that manage the emotions
• Mudras (hand gestures) that affect different areas of the chakra system and the body
• Yoga asanas suitable for all levels

This program is accessible for all levels, including beginners. Health professionals and Yoga teachers will learn techniques not regularly taught in Yoga classes to help their clients focus, relax, and have greater access to their feelings.
