Bringing Yoga into the Counselling Room
Annabel McLisky is back! She is joining Dr Lauren Tober for this video episode to share two powerful ways to bring yoga off the mat and into the counselling room.
Annabel is a Yoga Teacher and Trainer, and a very recently retired Psychologist in the Byron Shire in Australia.
As well as being a guest teacher and mentor on our Mental Health Aware Yoga training program, she is also a co-founder of Trauma Sensitive Yoga Australia and is a senior tutor on the Dru Yoga and Meditation Teacher Training courses around Australia.
This episode is for Psychologists, Social Workers, Counsellors and other mental health professionals looking for ways to bring yoga into their clinical practice. Annabel has been teaching therapists how to do this for around a decade, and we are very lucky that she’s joined us to share some of her wisdom in this episode.
Annabel (she/her) is one of the amazing speakers who is joining us on the Mental Health and Yoga summit, starting on 31st of January 2022. She will be sharing more about how to bring yoga off the mat and into the counselling room, and we do hope that you can join us.

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.
