How to Diagnose Mental Illness
We know that nearly 80% of yoga students report practicing yoga for the mental health benefits, but only a small proportion of students will actually disclose that they’re experiencing mental health challenges.
As a Yoga Teacher, how do you know what your students are experiencing, if they don’t tell you?
Join Dr Lauren Tober, the founder of Mental Health Aware Yoga, to hear about diagnosis, assessment, the gunas, and how to ascertain the mental health of your students (and it’s not what you might think!).
To learn more about yoga psychology and mental health, download our free ebook, Patañjali’s Eight Limbs and Mental Health Aware Yoga.

MEET OUR FOUNDER
Hi, I'm Dr Lauren Tober!
As a Clinical Psychologist and Yoga Teacher of nearly two decades, 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.
