Palming
I don’t know about you, but over here at Mental Health Aware Yoga HQ, our eyes are getting a workout with all this zooming!
And given the state of the world, there’s a fair chance your yoga students are experiencing this too.
Support your students to nourish their eyes (and their whole being), and gently cultivate pratyahara, with the practice palming.
It’s a simple practice, that can make the world of difference.
Tune in and Dr Lauren Tober will guide you through it.

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.
