Workshop: For Mental Health Professionals

Sunday, August 2nd at 11:30am (1.5hrs) at Rush Copley Healthplex

This session invites therapists and helping professionals to step beyond the cognitive layers of healing and into the body’s innate intelligence. A blend of brief teaching and a 60-minute guided embodied practice, participants will explore how asana (movement), pranayama (breathwork), and meditation can deepen emotional regulation, re-pattern the nervous system, and transform how we support our clients’ healing.

Workshop: For Managing Stress

Sunday, August 2nd at 1:30pm (3hrs) at Rush Copley Healthplex

Explore how yoga and mental health principles intersect to reduce stress, restore balance, and promote resilience. Participants will learn to identify how stress manifests in the body and how integrated practices can support emotional and physiological regulation. Experiences include an integrated asana, breathwork, and meditation practice for stress relief and tools to support client regulation and self-care practices in professional settings.

By combining Yoga and Mental Health, we address every layer of a person's being.

Lynnea Therapy partners Yoga and Mental Health with April Waldrop, E-RYT 500, Yoga Therapist of Fearless Living Yoga, Jamie Kruse, LCSW of Torus Therapy, and Tricia Fiske, E-RYT 500, YAECP, Senior Faculty for Tantra Yoga Alchemy to provide workshops and trainings for yoga teachers, therapists, social workers, educators, and mental health professionals interested in understanding the interplay of Yoga and Mental Health and how to apply the tools of yoga to support mental health treatment. 

Participants will learn how asana (movement), pranayama (breathwork), and meditation influence the nervous system, emotional regulation, energy, and mood.

We can help individuals process emotions that arise on the mat, recognize and challenge deeply ingrained belief systems. This integrated approach allows individuals to reach their full potential and access higher levels of consciousness that may not be possible without a combined effort.
