200 Debunking Common Myths About Yoga In Therapy | What Every Therapist Needs to Know: Episode By Chris McDonald

In this episode, I will address the myths and misconceptions surrounding the integration of yoga into clinical therapy sessions. We will discuss the common belief that yoga is just about physical exercise and stretches and delve into its broader mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits. This episode will debunk myths such as requiring those practicing to be naturally flexible and its supposed religious connotations. We also discuss the evidence-based benefits of yoga, the ethical considerations for integrating it into therapy, and the importance of personal practice for therapists. "You cannot be an effective teacher of yoga, even as a therapist, unless you are doing yoga. You must feel these practices. You must really be connected to your body, noticing sensations, and how they feel in your body, in order to be effective.”  - Chris McDonaldDebunking Common MythsYoga Beyond Physical ExerciseYoga as a Spiritual PracticeEthical Integration of Yoga in TherapyCompetence and Training for TherapistsEvidence-Based Benefits of YogaConnect With MeInstagram: @chris_mcdonald58Facebook: Yoga In The Therapy PodcastJoin the private Facebook Group: Bringing Yoga Into the Therapy RoomTikTok: @YogaChris58Rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, TuneIn, and SpotifySign up for my FREE email course: How to Build Confidence As A Holistic CounselorSelf-Care for the Counselor: A Companion Workbook: An Easy to Use Workbook to Support you on Your Holistic Healing and Counselor Self-Care Journey ...
