ABOUT YOUR TEACHER
As a Clinical Psychologist and Yoga Teacher of nearly 20 years, and the author of Mental Health Aware Yoga: A Guide for Yoga Teachers, Dr Lauren Tober has seen first-hand the way yoga helps with mental health. But she has also seen the way it can hinder it.
She developed this innovative Mental Health Aware Yoga training to support yoga teachers to make their classes safe, nourishing and transformative for all students, including those experiencing mental health challenges. And to help mental health professionals bridge the gap between what they learnt in their yoga teacher training courses and their clinical work.
Her work is soulful without being new-agey. It’s evidence based without being clinical. It’s authentic, heartfelt and life changing.
Join us in changing the landscape of yoga. It’s time!
WHAT OUR GRADUATES SAY ABOUT THE TRAINING

‘I just loved the Mental Health Aware Yoga training! It was incredibly heartwarming and such an honour and a privilege to be amongst such an amazing group of humans. Dr Lauren is an incredible facilitator and I left the training feeling inspired to bring even more mental health awareness into my teaching and leadership. All Yoga Teachers need to do this training, regardless of how long you’ve been teaching. Gift yourself and your students this training, and sign up, it will change the way you teach!
KATE PIPPOS | HEAD OF YOGA AT VIRGIN ACTIVE | SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

‘I can hardly think of any supplementary training for Yoga Teachers that is more relevant than Lauren’s Mental Health Aware Yoga training! I will recommend all of our trainees – and in fact all Yoga Teachers – to do this training to educate themselves in these very important topics. Because in all yoga classes that we teach there is likely to be several students affected by stress, anxiety, depression or trauma – and we want to be able to hold the space and teach the yoga that support their inner journeys in the best possible way, too, right?’
BODIL STENTEBJERG | YOGA TEACHER, TRAINER + STUDIO OWNER | COPENHAGEN, DENMARK

‘If you’re interested in supporting your community with yoga, I highly recommend the Mental Health Aware Yoga training with Dr Lauren Tober. It’s vital that we educate ourselves with this work so we impact our students’ well-being in a positive way.’
