Both psychology and Yoga can aid in developing deeper personal insight, changing patterns of behavior and habits, and providing tools to support others in these endeavors.
This course examines psychology and conceptions of mental and emotional health through the lens of the time-tested wisdom and practices of Yoga. During the course, students will explore the profound intersections of psychology and Yoga. The skill and understanding gained in this course will support Yoga therapists and Yoga teachers to guide students and clients in their pursuit of health and wellness and deepen their understanding of themselves and others.
Through empirical and research-based study, alongside experiential and expressive components, students will integrate principles and practices of both psychology and Yoga while gaining basic knowledge of psychology, mental and emotional health, and the integration of Yoga.
To support the comprehensive module content, coursework includes reflective journaling and writing, personal daily practice, expressive and creative exercises, case conceptualization and planning, as well as readings of assigned sections of the course manual, recommended reading of other sources, and presentations of learning to the class.
Live sessions with Karla on Monday and Tuesday evenings from 5–7:30 pm and Saturday all day, from 11 am–1 pm and 3–6 pm ET.
