Yoga, Mindfulness, and Neuroscience Workshop: Tools for Healing
with M. Mala Cunningham, Ph.D., C-IAYT
July 14 - 16, 2017
New technologies enable scientists to observe how meditation and Yoga practices positively shape our neurochemistry and neuro-pathways. Over the last twenty years, research has proven that Yoga and mindfulness techniques can increase empathy, compassion, healing, and optimism and can significantly reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and negative thinking.
The retreat will focus on this fascinating new field and provide answers as to how and why Yoga works for healing your emotions, body, and mind.
Having an awareness of neuroscience illuminates how Yoga and mindfulness create states of calmness, peace, and compassion, encouraging a greater capacity for self-healing and happiness. Dr. Mala will share with you some powerful techniques, strategies, and formulas that she uses with her clients in her private psychotherapy practice.
In this Yoga and mindfulness workshop, you’ll explore:
- Scientific ways you can rewire the brain, releasing old patterns and introducing new, healing energy
- Powerful hands-on healing methods that are designed to help with emotional balance through their positive impact on anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, stress, and other emotional and mental issues
- Established tools for helping and assisting with physical healing issues
These ideas and tools are on the cutting edge of neuroscience and therapy. Come learn what Yoga, mindfulness, and neuroscience have to offer you.
