Listen in to the video with Dr Lauren Tober, and you’ll learn:
- The importance of meeting your students where they are
- The qualities of practices and sequences (not prescriptions!) that are helpful in reducing depression.
- The qualities of practices and sequences (not prescriptions!) that are helpful in reducing symptoms of anxiety.

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.
