In today’s episode, Joe Simek, Breathing Deeply assistant teacher, sits down with Breathing Deeply founder Brandt Passalacqua to talk about yoga therapy and mental health.
At Breathing Deeply, we teach our students how to create individualized practices that empower their clients to take their health into their own hands!
Listen in as Brandt shares with us how the yoga therapy approach to mental health is different from mainstream western medicine. Find out what the process is for assessing someone’s mental health as a yoga therapist and developing specific yoga practices that work the best for an individual.
Each person lands at their mental state depending on their own personal journey and their specific imbalances. Therefore, two people who are both suffering from anxiety may be given completely different practices from a yoga therapist.
Brandt discusses the multiple assessment models taught at Breathing Deeply. These are used to come up with an individualized practice that unfolds in relationship with each client. He then walks us through his process for assessing & developing a yoga practice for a client with anxiety.
Breathing Deeply’s goal is to bring balance back to the entire system of all of our clients to lessen their suffering.
