Divya Jyoti Yoga Studio and MEDA present:
TRAINING IN YOGA TOOLS FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS
Learn and experience how to complement your private practice
with yogic tools to better assist your clients who suffer from
anxiety, depression and eating disorders.
NEW GROUP STARTING October 2011!
See what 2010-2011 participants say about the training:
“This course was a great opportunity to learn about yoga more specifically as it relates to the field of mental health and helping those with eating disorders to heal and find wholeness. Not only did I learn a variety of postures and techniques, but importantly, a way of thinking in applying them. Ana (Divya Jyoti) was a wonderful and skilled teacher who created a welcoming space for me to directly experience for myself what I will be incorporating in the work with my clients.”
Michelle Spomer, Phd specialist in ED
“I joined Ana’s class knowing very little about yoga. I have learned so much in the class and now feel that I can begin using my skills with my private clients. The atmosphere in the class was nurturing and kept me engaged with the material at all times. We also had fun! I would recommend this class for anyone that wants to bring a mindfulness practice into their work with their clients. The skills I learned will be invaluable to me and to my clients.”
Beth Mayer, LICSW,CEO MEDA
“Ana’s relaxed style allows for wisdom and instruction to flow easily throughout the session. I learned a wonderful blend of theory and practice, useful for myself and clients. Thank you, Ana”
Dr. Lisa Pearl, Nutritionist (Lexington)
“Ana is an excellent teacher. She has a profound understanding of the philosophy and practice of yoga and helps students to see very clearly the connection to the healing of eating disorders. As she teaches the practice of yoga, she helps the trainees to translate their learning into their psychodynamic work. For me what I’ve learned expands and deepens the movement work that I have done in the past. Ana inspires me to deepen my own yoga practice- which deepens my centeredness and presence with my clients- that being the most powerful healing I have to offer to my clients.”
Marilyn Unger-Riepe, LICSW, (Sudbury)

Nora Basile first became DJ’s student in 2006 when she was working as a military officer and
stationed in the Northeast. Nora noticed how profound an affect yoga therapy was having on her. She loved the balance and calmness that developed and positively affected her life. Because of that, Nora became interested in training to become a yoga teacher. in 2008, after much persistence on Nora’s part, DJ accepted Nora into DJ’s teacher training program. She persevered in a very challenging 3-year program. Happily, she has now finished her military career and is back in the Boston-area, to work full-time as a yoga teacher, while also continuing to advance her training. While Nora loves teaching all aspects of yoga, her passion is for Yoga to Support Pregnancy, for which DJ has given specialized training. You will see Nora around the studio, assisting with workshops and classes. To find out more about Nora, visit her website at www.yogawithnora.com
This class is exclusive to health providers: physicians, psychotherapists and psychoanalysts, nutritionists, chiropractors, massage therapists, herbalists and yoga therapists are welcome to join in. This class is also open to those training with DJ and would like to have more experiential practice with her.
The design of this class targets recharging physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically those attending patients and clients on a day-to-day basis. Students will experience yoga and guided relaxation practices, leaving the class renewed and full of energy, joy and love for oneself and others.
The format of this class is semi-private and the enrollment is for seven weeks, one class a week.
Investment: $50 per class. The total amount for the seven weeks is due at the time of the enrollment.
