Excited to offer this great workshop for the 4th time! We love this work. Connecting with your breath and understanding your brain better are just a couple of the great things you will learn.
Laurie is a superstar teacher! I have learned so much from her!
No previous yoga experience required and it is accessible to most. If you have any questions about the practice send me a note and we can talk about it.
Look forward to seeing you on the mat!
Light and Love!
Joann

Registration is OPEN for the 4th running of Settling Into Stillness - Online Yoga & Group Support. Join us from January 19th- March 2nd!

Do you know that your brain pumps out about 90,000 thoughts in the run of a day? Do you often feel like you are being bullied and pushed around by your thoughts?

Do you know that with some practice, you can change your relationship with your thoughts? That you can learn to objectively and non - judgmentally lightly hold your thoughts and then make a decision about what thoughts you want to pay attention to?

Registration is OPEN for the 4th running of Settling Into Stillness - Online Yoga & Group Support. Join us from January 19th- March 2nd!

Evolutionarily speaking, your brain's job is to keep you safe and feeling secure. Knowing how to deal with the safety-based thoughts that your brain produces is key to keeping you moving in the direction of your mental & physical health goals.

Does this sound familiar? You want to make a change in your life, and it all sounds exciting and reasonable. Then your brain starts to pump out thoughts like…. Are you REALLY sure that you want to do this? You failed at this before, why try again? I'm too tired. This is going to be hard. I don't have the time. People might laugh at me. Things won't get any better. I don't have the confidence. I'm too depressed or anxious.

When we identify too tightly to these kinds of thoughts, we get stuck in old unhealthy FEAR based thought and behaviour loops. Do you want to learn how to move from FEAR to DARE? If this sounds interesting to you, then you are going to want to be part of this yoga and group support series!

What Is Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is considered the 3rd wave of Cognitive & Behavioural Therapy. ACT is an evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) that uses acceptance and mindfulness techniques alongside behaviour change strategies to help you live in line with what really matters to you.

While the ‘T’ in ACT stands for therapy, ACT goes beyond that: it provides a framework for a deeper understanding of what it is to be human and, more specifically, how to live your life with purpose, openness, vitality, and fun.

In this workshop series, we will be discussing the six core ACT concepts and how they work together to assist with building psychological flexibility. ACT is a counselling approach that has been building support for almost 40 years, but it is more than that, it can be a way of living.

This Workshop Series Is Based On The ACT and Self-Compassion Work Of:

Dr. Russ Harris- The Author of the Happiness Trap
Dr. Steven Hayes PhD- The founding creator of ACT
Dr. Kristin Neff PhD - Her groundbreaking research on Self-compassion
