A consultation group where practitioners work with case scenarios and explore how yoga-informed approaches may support regulation and presence within therapeutic interactions.
If you have learned body-based skills through yoga or somatic training and would like to strengthen how those skills are used in professional care environments, this consultation circle offers an ongoing space to explore their practical application.
Sessions explore how yoga-informed approaches may support regulation and presence within therapeutic interactions, while offering space for practitioners to experience and explore how body-based awareness may be integrated within care work.
Each month we work with a practice scenario drawn from therapeutic or care settings. The focus is on exploring how bottom-up, embodied skills may be selected, adapted, and introduced within the therapeutic relationship.
The case example will be shared with participants in advance so there is time to review and reflect before the gathering.
Sessions include:
Practitioners working in therapeutic, healthcare, or educational environments who have training in, or interest in, yoga-informed or body-based approaches.
First Wednesday of each month, 9:30–10:45 AM Eastern Time
