Hi!
I’m Lauren.
I’m a clinical psychologist and yoga teacher of over two decades, and the founder of Mental Health Aware Yoga and the Yoga Psychology Institute.
With nearly 80% of yoga students reporting that they practice yoga for mental health reasons, I believe that it is vital that yoga teachers understand mental health and know how to support their students experiencing mental health challenges.
In this small but mighty ebook, we will draw on the wisdom of Patañjali’s eight limbs to guide our yoga teaching to be more mental health aware, so we can support our students through these challenging times.
I’m glad you’re here!
