When we bring together yoga, mindfulness, and psychology, we awaken the possibilities for growth within our body, psyche and spirit. Together they form a seamless weave of insights and practices applicable in the yoga studio, therapy room, or the rush of everyday life.
Mariana Caplan has taught along-side the founder of Somatic Experiencing, Dr. Peter Levine, to integrate the two modalities of yoga and trauma work, and developed innovative psychology programs as a university professor. A practicing psychotherapist, yoga teacher, and celebrated author, Dr. Caplan brings her expertise and wisdom to the Phoenix area to offer an opportunity for this integrative training.
"Mariana Caplan is a pioneer . . . in articulating these deeper significances of yoga practice particularly in tandem with the important developments in clinical psychology."
-Don Hanlon Johnson, PhD, somatics professor and author of Body, Spirit and Democracy
"Mariana's work is accessible, practical, and intelligent."
-Elena Brower, Yoga teacher and author of Art of Attention
This immersive workshop offers a theoretical and highly experiential exploration of the foundational principles and practices of somatics, trauma treatment, and neuroscience; integrated with yoga postures, breathwork, meditation, and visualization. Learning to work with embodied awareness through yoga, Somatic Experiencing®, mindfulness, and depth psychology can support the processing of difficult mind-states and emotions, heal trauma, and cultivate resilience. Participants in this training will:

If you are interested in learning how to work with your own emotional states in the context of yoga and movement practices; for yoga teachers interested in working more safely and effectively with students on the level of psyche; and for health professionals wishing to integrate these principles into their therapeutic work.
