5,4,3,2,1 Grounding Practice
Even if we teach yoga mindfully, skilfully and aware of the mental health challenges that our students might be facing, our students might still become triggered, anxious or overwhelmed in our classes.
Today Dr Lauren Tober is sharing a practice that can helpful to support your yoga students to regulate if they’re feeling hyper-aroused.
It’s called the 5,4,3,2,1 Grounding Practice.
Join Lauren to try it yourself, and learn how to share it with others.

MEET OUR FOUNDER
Hi, I'm Dr Lauren Tober!
As a Clinical Psychologist and Yoga Teacher of nearly two decades and the author of Mental Health Aware Yoga: A Guide for Yoga Teachers, I'm passionate about integrating yoga and psychology on the mat, in the counselling room and in the world.
With the growing interest in mental health and yoga, yoga students are attending yoga classes for the mental health benefits in unprecedented numbers.
In fact, 79.4% of yoga students report practicing yoga for the mental health benefits.
It's important that Yoga Teachers know how to support them.
I'm glad you're here.
