L.E.A.P. Method for Connection
In today’s video episode, Yoga Therapist and Psychiatric Nurse Anneke Sips joins us from the Netherlands.
Listen in to hear Anneke talk about the L.E.A.P. method.
Anneke learnt this method in her psychiatric training for working with people with a diagnosis of psychosis, and now brings it into her yoga teaching and therapy for connection.
Anneke has been working in psychiatry since 1998 and is one of the first accredited yoga therapists in The Netherlands. She is also the founder of Network Yoga Therapy, The Bridge online membership and The Yoga Therapy Conference in Amsterdam.
Anneke is one of the amazing speakers who is joining us on the Mental Health and Yoga summit, starting on 31st of January 2022.
We’re going to be diving deeply in the world of yoga and mental health, so if you’re a yoga teacher or mental health professional interested in this world, I wholeheartedly invite you to 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.
