Clinical Yoga
A clinical yoga workshop is a 90-minute session that combines clinically-based therapeutic coaching and Vinyasa-style yoga together in one experience.
According to science…
Movement helps integrate learning.
All it takes is a little practice
One of the processes we guide humans through here at the clinic is helping them be more curious, opening up more awareness, and practicing that awareness in their relationships.
Think of clinical yoga as a way to facilitate that process.
It’s a practice that combines the body work of yoga with the mind work of therapy into one class. Yoga offers a unique somatic intervention to complement therapy because movement helps integrate learning. Research has shown that kinesthetic learning can significantly help with concentration, memory, and overall cognitive processing.
The format for the session will begin with a clinical introduction to the topic, followed by an opening meditation. The class will then participate in a series of journaling prompts and yoga sequences, ending with an integrated meditation. Participants are required to bring a yoga mat and a journal. A pillow or cushion is recommended, and a blanket is optional if desired.
