Nervous System Informed Yoga for Holistic Healing
In this talk, Joann Lutz will describe the major discoveries she made about yoga as a tool for self-healing and recovery from psychological distress, and give the viewers a sample of its power.
Joann is excited to tell the story of how she used yoga as an important recovery tool back in 1970, when she was under psychiatric care and on anti-psychotic medication. At that time she took a vow to help people who found themselves in a similar situation, if she ever felt well again. She then practiced yoga and studied it deeply for many years, discovering the elements of yoga which are so healing to the nervous system. She wrote a book on the topic, Trauma Healing in the Yoga Zone, and had it published in 2021. She looks forward to this opportunity to share her work!
