Learn to assess mood and constitution from a Yogic perspective. Throughout the training\, you will personally experience each exercise and have opportunities to observe your own sensations\, feelings\, and thoughts\, as you are guided and then lead practices in dyads and small groups with supervision from the LFYP Faculty.

SUMMARY:Internal Family Systems Therapy Goes to the Mat with LifeForce Yoga®:  3 Days of Healing Body\, Mind\, Heart & Soul
DESCRIPTION:Online Registration \nWe will combine yoga practices for accessing Self energy\, meeting our parts\, with deep self-inquiry and discovery. Through yoga practices appropriate in clinical settings such as: pranayama breathing\, meditations\, mudras\, mantras\, movement\, guided imagery\, deep relaxation\, experiential exercises\, demonstrations and discussion\, participants will explore the combination of Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) and LifeForce Yoga® practices. Throughout the weekend you will experience how the integration of these two models enhances the healing process. \nNurture your parts and your whole being. You will leave feeling relaxed and energized\, confident in your ability to integrate LifeForce Yoga® skills and IFS and with new tools for self-care. This weekend is open to the general public\, yoga teachers and mental health professionals. All bodies and abilities welcome! \nRichard Schwartz\, PhD\, developer of the Internal Family Systems model\, and Amy Weintraub\, creator of LifeForce Yoga®\, are both innovators. Dr. Schwartz developed a new model of psychotherapy from curiosity when his most challenging clients did not improve. Amy Weintraub developed a school of yoga\, focused on attending to the emotional body after she experienced the transformational effect of yoga in her own life\, when she began a daily practice in 1989. Liz Brenner and Laura Orth have developed protocols and practices to integrate these models for optimal healing of individual and collective wounds. \nYoga Philosophy and Internal Family Systems therapy share the belief that all of us have a healthy\, core Self in addition to multiple states of being\, some of whom get stuck in extreme roles due to life experiences. The non-dual nature of LifeForce Yoga® melds with the Internal Family Systems approach\, welcoming all aspects of the human experience supporting the following goals: liberating parts from extreme roles that are no longer necessary\, allowing the wise Self to lead the system\, and re-harmonizing the internal family system. \nYoga is so much more than asana or postures. LifeForce Yoga® highlights practices that are accessible and adaptable for clinical settings\, yoga therapy\, and home use. Some practices are targeted to depression\, others to anxiety and trauma reactivity. \nWe will learn practices that that will help:\n \n\nAccess Self energy\nStrengthen Self-to-part relationships\nUnblend parts\nCare for parts that are not yet unburdened\nSafely tend to exiles who are not yet unburdened\n\nPlease let us know if\, in addition to attending to enhancing your life through personal growth\, you are also intending to enhance your work as a yoga teacher\, mental health or other professional. \nDates\, Times\, and Registration:\n\nFriday\, April 28\, 2017\, from 9am to 4:30pm\nSaturday\, April 29\, 2017\, from 9am to 4:30pm\nSunday\, April 30\, 2017\, from 9am to 3:15pm\nFor more information\, click HERE\nTo register\, click HERE\n\nThis weekend workshop will provide 17 CEUs.\nLimited to 50 participants. \nContinuing Education\nThis training program is co-sponsored by The Center for Self Leadership and The Institute for Continuing Education.  Continuing education contact hours are offered for the professional disciplines as listed below.
