Our 5-week, 10-hour Wednesday Webinar Series for occupational therapists, licensed counselors, certified yoga therapists, and other health professionals presents the science and theory behind Sensory-Enhanced Yoga® and how and why it can be especially effective for addressing symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, mixed anxiety/depression, and related mental health conditions. The information can be applied both “on and off the mat” and presents an evidence-based roadmap for healing these conditions. No yoga experience is necessary. Please note:  The webinar series includes several experiential activities but is mostly lecture and discussion. It provides a solid scientific and theoretical grounding for the chair and mat practices that are presented in the 2-day workshops. This is not a pre-requisite for the 2-day workshop; rather, it presents a quarter of that content and expands on it.

Webinar graduates will receive a $95 discount off the cost of a 2-day workshop held in 2020 or 2021!

Note for Canadian webinar participants: The cost for the webinar in Canadian dollars is $133 CAN Early Bird and $203 CAN Regular Tuition. The PayPal amount is listed in US dollars and will automatically convert your funds.
