Yoga and mindfulness are built on the belief that by employing mind-body meditation approaches, you may build a healthy, happy existence. Recent neuroscience research reveals that these evidence-based strategies modify the brain in ways that help overcome anxiety, sadness, trauma, and drug dependence. Learn how to use your natural ability to think, perceive, move, and feel in the present moment to heal your mind, body, and soul.

Debra Premashakti Alvis, PhD, RYT, an experienced yoga and mindfulness instructor, clinician, and researcher, will demonstrate treatments that can help your clients manage their emotions, clarify their thoughts, and alleviate physical discomforts. As you awaken your healing presence and empower yourself and your clients to make better choices, you will deepen the therapeutic connection. You will leave the seminar with the skills to utilize neuroscience in your practice, a life-changing experience, and new strategies and protocols to improve therapeutic results.
