Integrating Mudras into Practice

When we think of a yoga practice, we often think of physical postures (asana), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation. For most people, a lesser-known part of yoga is mudras. The term mudra is a Sanskrit word meaning “gesture” or “seal”. Mudras can be described as self-acupressure with the thumb and each finger taking on significance of meaning depending on how they are positioned and brought together. The hands are loaded with sensory and motor nerve endings that communicate to the brain creating the potential for powerful shifts in physical, psychological, and spiritual awakenings. In this training, we will learn the history and science behind mudras, their benefits, and the interrelation of mudras with koshas, vayus, chakras, meridians, and the five elements. We will experience and learn how to incorporate mudras in various ways into a yoga practice with pranayama, meditation, and yoga postures for both our students and ourselves.

YogaFit Teen Mental Health

Teen mental Health is in crisis. Even before the Pandemic, teens mental health was on a precipitous decline fostered by increasing social pressures, social media, increasing academic and sports pressures, as well as declining sleep and nutritional habits. The Pandemic and the subsequent stressors only served to accelerate this decline, ultimately leading to the US Surgeon Generals declaring teen mental health a national emergency in December 2021. Between 2009-2021 rates of depression in teenagers rose from 26% to 44% and emergency room visits for self-harm jumped by a shocking 88%.  The pandemic accelerated this decline with a 45% increase in self-harm and suicide cases in the first half of 2021 alone!

This one-day workshop is for anyone wanting to help during this crisis: yoga teachers, educators, parents, grandparents and mental health professionals. We will combine the practical emotional self-regulating tools from yoga and link them to the strong scientific support and latest research showing their effectiveness at helping the unique teenage brain, physiology and nervous system reset. Yoga tools to include simple postures, breath practices and guided mediations and imagery will be taught. Additionally, we will learn how to teach teenagers about the chakras as well as the Yamas and Niyamas as energetic tools of self-regulation.

YogaFit Yin Yoga

YogaFit’s two day Yin Yoga training focuses on the other areas of our body often not considered in most yoga practices or fitness modalities. We are focused on the deeper tissues of our body: bones, joints, fascia and ligaments.  All of our tissues are important and need to be exercised so that we can achieve optimal health and vitality.  Throughout the training, we consistently work on surrendering to the pose, finding a sense of comfort through discomfort, learning to celebrate the stillness, while connecting with mindfulness.

Expanding Consciousness: The Yogic Mindset

As yoga therapists and teachers, we hold space and act as guides for our students and clients as they work to create balance in their lives and build a healthier relationship with the challenges they face. In order to be effective healers and therapists, however, we must believe in the limitless ability of our own power to heal. YogaFit’s Expanding Consciousness workshop provides an opportunity to examine our own limitations and fears, increase our capacity for self compassion, and learn to co-create our own reality.

YogaFit Yoga for Intergenerational and Collective Trauma

Yogafit’s Intergenerational and Collective Trauma workshop is designed to explore the different types of “root” traumas to include attachment as well as intergenerational and collective trauma. We will explore the connection between attachment traumas and attunement and the origins of mis-attunement which has been linked to intergenerational and collective trauma. We will look at factors that can cause mis-attunement and ultimately inhibit our ability to connect to others.

Over the tumultuous last few years, we as a society are starting to bring more awareness to the importance of collective trauma. Many practical and spiritual experts on healing are realizing the exploration of collective trauma is at the leading edge of healing. The groundbreaking study of holocaust survivors showed how intergenerational and collective trauma gets created and passed through generations through DNA (Epigenetics) and a markedly reduced ability to handle stress leading to worse physical and mental health outcomes across a lifetime for future generations regardless of direct experience of trauma. Ultimately, intergenerational trauma means all of us are born into a pre-traumatized world. As we are witnessing, past trauma surfaces in times of increased stress and massive change making it imperative that we increase the capacities of individuals and groups to heal the collective trauma of our time.

We will look at ways our yoga practices may be supporting or even hindering our ability to cultivate awareness of self, the other and the collective field. We will explore practical exercises to support and strengthen attunement skills for yourself and others and we will learn how to harness the challenge of emotional wounds to turn them into post-traumatic growth, resilience, and learning. We will learn ways to increase our relational capacity to self-regulate and create coherent collective fields that support one another. We will explore and practice collective witnessing and learn to create a stronger field of witnessing presence as both a participant and observer and contemplate what effect this has on our collective physiology.
