Yoga EQ Teacher Training- Huntington, WV

*This class is reserved for select MU students, faculty, and community partners.*

Yoga for Emotional Intelligence, Yoga EQ, is an embodied Social Emotional Learning program that shows students how to address tough emotional situations, process these experiences, and relate to their peers. Students learn how to identify emotions in the body through meditation and how to shift mood with movement. It is taught in schools, recovery programs, and beyond!

Whether you plan to work with adults, children, families, or simply deepen your own journey, we hope that you will carry with you the central teaching- emotional health is an inside job. This training will require you to look within, to explore old patterns, habits, and biases, and to break through the blocks and barriers that are holding you back.
