Join Stephanie Lopez, Clinical Social Worker and Director of Operations at the Integrative Restoration Institute as she presents essential meditative inquiries to weave into your clinical or yoga therapy practice.
Together we will explore and practice:
- Somatic meditation supporting embodied presence and whole-body listening
- Meditative inquiries to move beyond habitual thinking and behavioral patterns by addressing challenging emotions & core beliefs
- Empathic attunement and resonance from a meditative understanding
- The difference between leading versus welcoming what arises in meditation
Research has shown iRest effectively reduces stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and insomnia while increasing energy, resilience, and an overall sense of well-being.
This workshop will assist mental health professionals and yoga therapists alike in developing knowledge, experience, and skill in offering a meditative practice in a 1:1 client setting. The workshop will feature opportunities to practice meditative inquiries with a partner. Not only will you gain a practical understanding of how to weave meditation into clinical work, you’ll also learn to integrate meditation as a personal practice in everyday life.
