NEW GROUP STARTING SEPTEMBER 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)
