Yoga for mental Health with Sannyasi Brahmananda London

This 2-day workshop will focus on the traditional practices of yoga that have proved to be effective in helping to promote and maintain mental and emotional wellbeing. We will focus in particular on the conditions of anxiety and depression, conditions that affect a large number of people these days as the pressures of modern life are difficult to manage.

Mental and Emotional health leads us to live a life in harmony with ourselves and our environments. When this is disturbed it affects us in all areas of our lives, often also causing physical illness and conditions in the body.

The knowledge of yogic physiology and psychology sees this as imbalance in the pranas or energies in the body and offers techniques through the practices of hatha and raja yoga to help redress this balance and to move towards a state of harmony, acceptance and understanding.

For whom is this workshop?
The workshop would be suitable for those who have some experience of yoga, but also those who have suffered from anxiety and/or depression and are looking for ways to help manage themselves. Professionals or yoga teachers working in the field of mental and emotional wellbeing will also find the programme of interest and value.

Content of the workshop
The workshop will consist of yoga classes including asana and pranayama, yoga nidra and meditation techniques, together with talks, group work and the use of sound and chanting.

The workshop will take place in English.

Duration
Sat. 11. March from 9.00 am to 4.00 pm
