Mindfulness And Dance: The Effects Of Yoga Practices смотреть онлайн

As an individual working in the field of healthcare for well over a decade, the majority of my experience with psychiatric illnesses occurred in the developing world, in a less conventional setting than a psychiatric hospital or rehabilitation facility. I was educated about successful mental health treatment in a free yoga therapy clinic in the heart of Bangalore, India.

There I fell in love with the idea of using the body through the movement of yoga to heal the mind. After years of study and eventual relocation back to the United States, my pursuit of body-based psychotherapy led me to dance/movement therapy. Since I first began exploring movement as a healing modality, my understanding of yoga’s direct impact on mental health has been reaffirmed by my subsequent study of dance/movement therapy.

The relationship between yoga and dance/movement therapy is an important factor in the design of the program described in this article. It is hoped that through this evaluation of the combined use of yoga and dance/movement therapy, there may be recognition of these methods as vital components of recovery for individuals experiencing persistent or severe mental illness (SMI).
