Norton\, 2012)\, has been a pioneer in the field of yoga and mental health for over 20 years. She trains health and yoga professionals at notable international venues and offers workshops for every day practitioners. The LifeForce Yoga® protocol is being used in residential treatment centers\, hospitals and by health care providers around the world. She is involved in ongoing research on the effects of yoga on mood\, and has produced an award-winning library of evidence-based yoga and meditation CDs and DVDs for mood management. She edits a newsletter that includes current research\, news and media reviews on Yoga and mental health\, archived here. \nMental Health Professional on Staff:\nDeborah Lubetkin\, Psy.D.\, LFYP-2\, RYT-200\, C-IAYT\, LifeForce Yoga Mentoring Director\nDeb is a Licensed Psychologist with a private practice in NJ for over 20 years. She became certified as a LifeForce Yoga practitioner\, Level 1 in 2009\, returning to complete her Level 2 certification in 2011.  Deborah was then certified in 2013 as a Kripalu Yoga Teacher.  Deborah’s private practice incorporates Eastern philosophy with the challenges of Western living to create a forum for her clients to develop an integrative plan to address a wide variety of mood-related imbalances.    In addition to integrating Psychotherapy with LifeForce Yoga in individual sessions both on and off the mat\, Deborah runs groups and workshops in her community around the theme of “Balancing Mood with LifeForce Yoga.” She also teaches a weekly LifeForce Yoga class at a local studio and volunteers with a program called Yoga Connections teaching LifeForce Yoga classes in Israel for one week each year.  Integrating LifeForce Yoga and Kripalu Yoga into her life and my psychotherapy practice has created remarkable shifts in the way that she moves through a session with a client\, in the way clients move through the process of therapy\, and in the way Deb moves through her life. \nAssisting Faculty:\nKat Larsen\, ERYT-200\, C-IAYT\, Graduate Iyengar YTT-325hours\, LFYP-2\nKat has been with the LifeForce Yoga Healing Institute for over ten years and mentors both yoga instructors and mental health professionals.

She loves that LifeForce Yoga practices encompass accessibility to All; that integrating the tools brings empowerment\, self-regulation\, and a means to meet the mood both on and off the mat. \nKat specializes in working with individuals touched by cancer and is a Certified y4c-Yoga for Cancer Instructor. She’s taught many LFY workshops at the Dempsey Center in Lewiston\, ME\, and presently leads a weekly Yoga for Wellness/y4c yoga class at Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine.
