the course will start with a non-residential weekend followed by 5 Saturdays over 6 months in Nottingham.
Overview of the Module
This 7 day course is intended for qualified yoga teachers, from any background, to develop the confidence, knowledge, insight and skills that are needed in order to work with people who are experiencing mental health problems.
The course will offer teachers an opportunity to gain greater knowledge and understanding of a range of mental health problems including anxiety / depression disorders, mood disorders and psychosis from both a western and yogic perspective.
The course will be a mixture of practical work and theory including relevant yogic texts and discussions. We will look at the ways in which yoga practices, yoga philosophy and lifestyle can help people to manage their mental health imbalances. We will introduce systematic and progressive practices including asana, relaxation, shatkarmas and meditation that are helpful for specific mental health issues. The key practices will be explored on the teaching days and reinforced throughout the course.
We will also cover how to adapt lesson plans for general classes with students with mental health problems, and setting up specialist mental health yoga classes and courses.
This course will give us the opportunity to share our experiences that have helped us both professionally, personally and through our teaching of students and training teacher.
You will be required to do some written and practical homework between each session and you will be assessed throughout the course. You will be required to attend all 7 days in order to receive certification for the course. This course can count towards continuing professional development. If a day is missed you may be able to organise a private session with one of us, at an extra cost.
