LifeForce Yoga to Manage Your Mood Immersion is NOW LIVE! Spend a lovely weekend with the author of  Yoga for Depression. Amy guides you through evidence-based Yoga practices for managing your mood. LifeForce Yoga® interweaves the power of an ancient discipline with current scientific findings to help you release what is no longer serving you—without a story attached! Discover techniques to energize and elevate depressed moods; relax and calm anxiety; work with the chakra system; bring balance to your emotional body.

You’ll practice:
  • Pranayama (breathing techniques) and kriya (yogic cleanses) that regulate the emotions
  • Meditations that lift the mood
  • Sankalpa (affirmations)
  • Bhavana (guided visualizations)
  • Mantras (tones) that manage the emotions
  • Mudras (hand gestures) that affect different areas of the chakra system and the body
  • Yoga asanas suitable for all levels

You will experience feeling refreshed, renewed, and excited about incorporating new tools into your home, teaching, or clinical practice to bring balance to the emotional and physical body. This program is accessible for all levels, including beginners. Health professionals and Yoga teachers will learn techniques not regularly taught in Yoga classes to help their clients focus, relax, and have greater access to their feelings.
