For thousands of years, yogis have understood what current research in neurobiology and clinical observations are demonstrating-that working with a body and breath-based practice, we can manage our moods. LifeForce Yoga® interweaves the power of an ancient discipline with current scientific findings to help you release what's no longer serving you-without a story attached! In this inspiring workshop, you will learn and practice breathing exercises, easy postures, guided meditations, and other experiential yogic tools for managing your mood that are not often taught in regular yoga classes.

We'll practice:
• Pranayama and kriya breathing techniques that regulate the emotions
• Meditations that lift the mood
• Creating Affirmation (sankalpa)
• LifeForce Yoga® Bhavana (Imagery)
• LifeForce Yoga® Chakra Clearing Meditation
• LifeForce Yoga® Nidra
• Tones that regulate the emotions (mantras)
• Yoga asanas suitable for multilevel practitioners

You will leave this feeling refreshed, renewed, and excited about returning to your at-home or teaching practice with new tools to bring balance to the emotional and physical body.

Class Descriptions:
LifeForce Yoga® to Manage Your Mood: Clearing the Space
Friday Evening
Breathe your way through these challenging times. Learn 3 Yogic strategies to strengthen your emotional resilience. Based on ancient practices and current scientific findings, Amy will incorporate breath, sound, movement and visualization to help you meet and manage your mood.

LifeForce Yoga® to Get You off the Couch!
Saturday
Learn an embodied practice to meet the lethargic or depressed mood. No matter what challenges you are facing now, Amy promises that you'll leave with a lighter heart and a clearer mind or your money back! We'll practice the LifeForce Yoga® Chakra Clearing Meditation, a technique that incorporates mantra, mudra and breath to clear the central energy channel of the body. Then we'll build to a stronger, more dynamic practice, energizing the body mind and spirit. We'll end with a restorative practice of LifeForce Yoga® Nidra.

LifeForce Yoga® to Meet Anxiety
Sunday
Learn a practice that promotes a calm mind and an open heart. Evolution has favored an anxiety gene, and for many of us, it's our default. Meet your monkey mind with an embodied practice and a meditation technique that gives the busy mind a bone.

On both days, experience the power of LifeForce Yoga® Nidra, a form of meditative self-inquiry that, while relaxing the body, opens the mind to greater self-awareness, and the heart to love and acceptance of what is.

Open to public and health care professionals. Poses will be accessible for all levels welcome, including beginners. Psychotherapists, health professionals, and yoga teachers will learn techniques they can use to help their clients focus, relax, and have greater access to their feelings.

Please do not eat for two hours before the workshop begins.
