How to get Referrals from Psychologists
Many psychologists see the benefit of yoga for mental health, but they don’t always know which styles or teachers to recommend to their clients interested in yoga.
In today’s video episode, Dr Lauren Tober answers a question from Sarah on how to “bridge the gap in getting psychologists to refer individuals to yoga.”
She talks about why psychologists might not recommend the yoga teachers they already know, and how to cultivate relationships with psychologists so they are more likely to refer their clients to you.

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.
