226 Overcoming Blocks & Fears With Integrating Yoga Practices Into Clinical Sessions Episode By Chris McDonald

In this episode, I discuss common fears and uncertainties therapists face when integrating yoga into their clinical practice. I will offer practical advice on how to integrate trauma-informed yoga practices into sessions confidently and ethically, even without extensive yoga training. I will go over simple practices like breath awareness and grounding which can significantly enhance emotional and nervous system regulation for clients. I also discuss ways to introduce yoga to clients, whether in-person or via telehealth, the importance of informed consent, and client safety. Holistic Mindful Check-Ins by Chris McDonald, LCMHCSTrauma-Informed Yoga for Therapists: A Practical Approach"Teaching clients to be more self-aware, aware of their thoughts, their energy levels, where are they in this room, this moment?
