Yoga for mental health

Lotus flower in sunlight

Did you know…?

  • Nearly 1 in 2 people will report experiencing mental illness in their lifetime
  • 58% of people report beginning yoga to reduce stress and anxiety
  • Nearly 80% of people report continuing to practise yoga in order to reduce stress and anxiety.

I came across these statistics on Dr Lauren Tober‘s training: Introduction to yoga & mental health.

Lauren is a clinical psychologist and senior yoga teacher, based in Byron Bay, Australia. The trauma-informed course helps teachers support yoga students experiencing depression, anxiety, stress and trauma.

Supporting students

I am particularly interested in how yoga can support mental health. I have completed training in

  • trauma-sensitive yoga
  • trauma-sensitive mindfulness

I am also a fully-trained mental health champion in my workplace.

Please contact me if you would like more information. I am always happy to suggest yoga and breathing practices that can support students’ mental health.
