Drawing on her study of multiple traditions and lineages from
ancient yoga practices to current neuroscientific research on yoga
benefits and contraindications Weintraub presents a compendium of
guided breathing exercises, meditations, self-inquiry practices,
relaxation exercises, and simple postural adjustments that can
readily accompany and complement psychotherapy no mat or difficult
postures required Therapists learn exactly how to introduce these
simple practices into a session, all within the comfort of their
therapy room, no prior yoga training or experience necessary.
Weintraub shows therapists how to introduce and apply a full range
of yogic approaches: targeted breathing practices called pranayama
that meet the present mood and bring it into balance; healing hand
gestures called mudras; special sounds and tones called mantras;
guided imagery and affirmation; yogic self-inquiry, and much more.
Clinical stories and anecdotes explore how these yoga-based
interventions, rooted in a firm, evidence-based foundation, can be
used as effective treatments for a particular mood or mental state.
With over 50 photographs that clearly illustrate the practices and
gestures, detailed, step-by-step instructions, and scripts for
guided relaxation and meditations, Yoga Skills for Therapists is a
practical, hands-on guide that teaches the power of basic yoga
techniques to bring great self-awareness, balance, and lasting
well-being to you and your clients."
Take the natural path to mental wellness
More than 25 million Americans are treated with antidepressants each year, at a cost in excess of $50 billion. But the side effects of popular prescription drugs may seem nearly as depressing as the symptoms they’re meant to treat. Veteran yoga instructor Amy Weintraub offers a better solution—one that taps the scientifically proven link between yoga and emotional well-being as well as the beauty of ancient approaches to inner peace.
Addressing a range of diagnoses, including dysthymia, anxiety-based depression, and bipolar disorder, Yoga for Depression reveals why specific postures, breathing practices, and meditation techniques can ease suffering and release life’s traumas and losses. Weintraub also reflects on her own experience with severe depression, from which she recovered through immersing herself in a daily yoga routine. Yoga for Depression is the first yoga book devoted exclusively to the treatment of these debilitating conditions. Amy Weintraub will help readers see their suffering and themselves in a vibrant new light.
