RU OK?
Today is RU OK? Day in Australia, where we ask people “are you ok?”
It’s a wonderful mental health initiative to support people to start, what might be considered a difficult, but very important conversation with their friends and family members about mental health.
In this episode Dr Lauren Tober explores why it’s so hard to ask this question, and what to do if someone tells us that they are not ok.

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.
