The Yoga Therapy Clinic presents:

Yoga and Healing – The Holistic Approach – Part 1 of 4 with Diana Meltsner
Saturday, May 29, 2021 ⋅ 11:00am – 12:30pm

The broad variety of yoga practices offers us the potential to repair and prevent imbalance in the body and the mind. This interactive workshop will explore the holistic approach to healing and open space for questions and discussion.

How does yoga promote healing to different body systems?
What effects do physiological imbalances have on the mind and our perception of well being?
Which practices does one choose?
What is Yoga Therapy?

We will focus in detail on the function of the Nervous System, the effects of stress on the body’s natural ability to heal and breathing techniques, prāṇāyāma, that have many positive benefits proven in medical studies. We will practice specific breathing techniques to help you develop or deepen a comfortable and sustainable home practice that is supplemented by both the current western and ancient yogic guidelines.

In these times of great change we will explore a path toward meeting ourselves where we are to give voice to all that matters!

As we live with interruptions and chaos, we can deepen to the roots of our creativity, encouraging the river of expression to flow.

Beginners and seasoned writers are welcome, as we explore various forms of writing: poetry, prose, short stories, memoir, among others. Through writing exercises using everyday life, place, family, images, poetry of others, while using pranayama, meditation and the guidance of the Sutras we will build a body of work. Participants are encouraged to go at their own pace.

Tools we will Practice:

  • The Art of Paying Attention
  • Acceptance
  • Play
  • Writing from the Heart

Together we will combine self-care with our writing and discover what a writing practice means to us and how it may take shape.
