21.01.2022 Whilst many have found 2020 to be difficult, children and teens are also feeling the brunt of the Year of Covid, and as many students now commence their HSC exams, the pressure is definitely on! Dr Shirley Telles (MBBS, Ph.D) has written a fantastic article outlining yoga’s diverse applications in improving mental health in children. Mental health in children has many dimensions such as having healthy interactions with peers and teachers, and being able to focus attention ...on specific activities (e.g., studying) while remaining calm. Another aspect of increasing importance is the sense of self-esteem, which is often associated with a child’s body image and eating behaviours. Yoga is an ancient Indian way of life which includes practicing certain postures, breathing techniques, and meditation. Several studies have shown that yoga practiced for varying durations (from 10 days to 6 months) can favorably influence hand steadiness as an indicator of concentration, and the hand grip strength, the degree of optical illusion, and finger dexterity. Yoga practice also improved the performance of children in a spatial memory task and in a cancellation task requiring selective attention. It is of importance to note that yoga practice improves these functions and also reduces physiological signs of mental stress (e.g., a reduced skin resistance value, reduced heart and breath rates with rhythmic breathing) in children. Apart from children with normal health, 20 sessions of yoga led to improvement in boys with diagnosed ADHD, based on five aspects of the Conner’s Parents Rating Scales (i.e., Emotional lability, and Restless/Impulsive behaviors, among others). Yoga practice has also been shown to have a positive self-concept and eating behaviors.@ Read the full article https://yogatherapyinstitute.com.au//effect-of-yoga-on-me/ Dr Shiley Telles will running our Yoga Therapy for Anxiety Workshop on Saturday November 7, 1:30-3.00pm AEST.

16.01.2022 We are really excited that our new Yoga Therapy Institute website is now live! It has been a huge task to undertake in a year when the team has worked harder than we have ever before due to Covid. The whole world has changed and while we would like to continue running every event live in person as we have for the past 11 years, the reality of running live events in a post-covid world is that we are at the mercy of lock downs and border closures that may be imposed at a momen...t’s notice. Like many of you, we've have had to rethink our whole organisation. We've spent the last six months redefining what we want to do for our community. We plan to keep our focus on looking after the Yoga therapy community by building on our expertise and reputation as Australia’s leading provider of Yoga therapy education for Yoga therapists and teachers. Our goal is to continue to run our courses and workshops live in person when we can but the reality is we can’t run everything in person anymore! Running live and online courses is part of our new approach at the Yoga Therapy Institute and we guarantee that we will continue to deliver world class training for Yoga therapists and teachers and continue to be a place for the Yoga therapy community to connect. As yoga and yoga therapy continues to grow in popularity, there are a lot of workshops and events on offer and we want ensure you that we will continue to focus on providing high quality training and ongoing education provided by leading experts and continue to offer you great customer service. We are really excited that the online events will make our services much more accessible to many more Yoga teachers and therapists, especially those who live in regional areas and overseas or find it difficult to get away from work and family commitments to attend training. We are delighted to launch our new brand with a new offering from Dr. Shirley Telles world’s leading Yoga therapist, researcher and neurophysiologist. for our Yoga Therapy for Anxiety Workshop with Dr Shirley Telles, we are looking forward to seeing you this Saturday for an interesting and engaging workshop with this amazing teacher on a highly relevant topic.
