How I’m Giving Back
Today Dr Lauren Tober is talking about the circle of giving and receiving.
After her hometown of Mullumbimby, Australia was flooded a couple of weeks ago, she’s been contacted by so many of our amazing Mental Health Aware Yoga community asking how they too can give back and help out.
In this video episode Dr Lauren talks about:
- The circle of giving and receiving,
- How she personally has been giving back to her local community during these devastating floods with practical support, money and donating gumboots, undies and socks, and
- How she has been supporting people affected by the floods and providing a way for people to give back in meaningful ways, through her meditation practices.
You can take a look at how Dr Lauren is giving back through yoga and meditation on her website here.
And if you’re in a season of needing to receive, please go ahead and download the meditation practices for free.
If you’re in a season of being able to give, go ahead and download the practices, and instead of paying for them, donate to an organisation or individual or your choice.

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.
