TUITION
$85.00 to $108.00 Sliding Scale | Pay what you can afford

In this online workshop, release stress, tension, and overwhelm with Yoga2Sleep, a Yoga therapy workshop designed to support a better quality of sleep. This workshop includes personal assessment, pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation, Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, intention, and mindset. Yoga2Sleep uses scientific research, in combination with ancient, traditional yogic practices to help you achieve better sleep for the best life.

Sleep is an integral function of the parasympathetic (rest and digest) part of the nervous system. When we don’t get enough sleep, our bodies, brains, and emotions suffer. There is good evidence that cognitive and/or physiological excitement, associated with sustained sympathetic activation, is one of the underlying causes of insomnia.

A large body of evidence-based research supports Yoga therapy protocols that holistically address insomnia and sleeplessness. The multi-layered approach of Yoga therapy uses scientific research, in combination with ancient, traditional yogic practices.

This workshop includes:

  • Distinctive combinations of educational and experiential sessions
  • An exploration of the koshas and chakras as they pertain to sleep and insomnia
  • Examining the gross and subtle aspects of the body, heart, and mind and the interplay with adequate sleep
  • Tangible yogic tools to achieve better sleep

You will also have access to the Ashram’s Live Hatha Yoga classes at 2 pm PST (5 pm EST) and access to an online social community to connect and communicate with other participants about this course.

You will have access to the video recordings for 8 weeks after the program ends, until December 27.

Recovering From COVID-19 and Other Illnesses: The Path to Healing

Enroll

$25, $35 | Please register in advance, a zoom link will be provided via confirmation email.

Integral Yoga Therapy Clinic presents:

Recovering From COVID-19 and Other Illnesses: The Path to Healing with Susan Ford

In these turbulent times, we will explore a path of healing as not linear, but one of surrender, letting go, and finding new ways of approaching life. As we learn to listen to the various rhythms and messages of the body, we can begin to meet our body where it is—allowing ourselves to rest, eat well, sleep better, strengthen our immune system, and continue to build our prana (vital energy), all at a slower pace. Gentle yoga can bring more fluidity to our body through simple stretching and strengthening along with lessening stress and pain.

In this workshop we will share and practice. We will explore our breath and body with a gentle accessible chair yoga that can be adapted for the bed. We will include a yoga therapy approach to asana, deep relaxation, guided meditation, chanting. There will be a writing practice (for your own use) as a way to find a gentle, creative, and wise approach to healing while deepening our understanding of recovering from COVID-19 and living with acute and chronic illnesses and injuries.

We will begin to weave together the beginning of a home practice of self-care and explore what healing means to each of us.

Open to All! No yoga or writing experience needed. Caregivers are welcome

Susan will be offering a 6 week series beginning mid September. Details coming soon.
