The LifeForce YogaŽ
Practitioner Training
for Depression and Anxiety
 In
addition to learning an
evidence-based practice for
both depression and anxiety,
the LifeForce YogaŽ
Practitioner (LFYP) will
learn ancient strategies
from both Tantric and
Classical Yoga traditions
for self-care. LFYPs learn
Yogic practices supported by
current research in
psycho-neurobiology to help
clear away the obstructions
(chronic tensions,
constricting beliefs,
limiting emotions) that may
be keeping trainees and
their students from knowing
and expressing their own
authenticity and fullest
potential. The LFYP learns
how to create and sustain a
safe container for students
and clients so that learning
can occur in an atmosphere
of acceptance and love. The
LFYP learns how to assess
mood and constitution from a
Yogic perspective.
Throughout the training,
LFYPs personally experience
each exercise and have
opportunities to observe
their own sensations,
feelings, and reactions.
Trainees learn how to teach
each exercise, have
opportunities to practice
teach with others and get
feedback from the LFYP
staff. Distinctions are made
between those practices that
may be safely led by a Yoga
Teacher and those that may
be suitable in a clinical
setting, led by a
psychotherapist.
These Yogic tools include:
This training is also
suitable for those working
with trauma.
Psychotherapists who also
practice Yoga find they are
able to offer their clients
an alternative and/or
adjunct treatment to
medication, and to provide
them with tools for internal
mood-regulation and
self-care.
The Role of the Certified
LifeForce YogaŽ Practitioner
Our job as LifeForce YogaŽ
Practitioners is to clear
away the obstructions, first
within ourselves, so that we
know that the energy awake
within us and the energy
that surrounds us are one
and the same. Second, our
job as LifeForce YogaŽ
Practitioners is to create
and maintain a safe and
compassionate container for
our students and clients, so
that in an atmosphere of
acceptance and love, they
can learn the tools to clear
their own inner space of
whatever is preventing them
from realizing and
sustaining their positive
mental health.
How do I become a Certified
LifeForce YogaŽ
Practitioner?
If you are a Yoga Teacher,
certified by Yoga Alliance
at the 200-hr level, or a
mental health professional
with an on-going yoga
practice, you may enroll in
the LFYP Training program.
If you do not meet either of
these criteria, but work as
a healing professional, we
will consider your
enrollment on a case by case
basis. You may contact Rose
Kress,
rose@amyweintraub.com,
to discuss your case.
