Join Barbara Ruzansky, author and owner of West Hartford Yoga (WHY) and Jen Leavitt, MSW, JD and trauma informed yoga teacher, for this weekend workshop designed specifically for mental health clinicians seeking to incorporate holistic and somatic practices into their work with clients.
The workshop is inspired by Barbara’s decades long struggle with mental health, addiction, and eating disorders, as chronicled in her book Bad Hair Day on Planet Earth and her recovery through holistic health practices.
Learn how yoga, meditation, nutrition, and community building can provide a complementary approach to mental health treatment. This training will provide powerful tools to support your clients’ healing along with a deepened sense of hope, possibility, and engagement in your work as a clinician.
