EP49 - Mental Health + Yoga with Dr. Lauren Tober

What are the most important synergies between yoga and psychology? Chara speaks with Dr. Lauren Tober about her evolution as a yoga teacher and psychologist and how that has been informed by the ways that yoga and modern-day psychology have slowly moved toward each other over the course of the last couple of decades. We explore why and how yoga is an important context for yoga teachers and students to become more aware of and how to live and practice in a world where nearly everyone is touched by trauma of some kind. We also hear about Lauren’s upcoming Mental Health Aware Yoga course!
