Yoga practices include breath work, movement, guided relaxation and meditation, which, when blended with western therapeutic techniques, facilitate holistic processing in a safe, empathic, and non-judgmental way. Hundreds of empirical studies demonstrate the beneficial effects of yoga in treating depression, anxiety, chronic pain, heart disease, and cancer. While my research expanded upon the focus of reducing negative symptoms, it also explored the positive effects of yoga, which include enhancing psychological qualities such as compassion, empathy, and forgiveness. I helped to broaden the paradigm for research in yoga, and psychology in general, to include a concept of optimal wellbeing that is a more holistic, systemic approach to health. My intention was to conduct rigorous empirical research that moves toward this paradigm shift by exploring the positive effects of yoga linked with other modalities across diverse populations. CLINICAL EXPERIENCE Post-Doctoral Intern Community Center for Health & Wellness, 2009 – 2012 Provided in-depth, long-term psychotherapy and short-term counseling to a diverse population combining contemporary psychoanalytic psychotherapy with holistic methods. Conducted group research on the effectiveness of Transpersonal Integrative Therapy, a protocol I created facilitated for clients in grief. Advanced Practicum Trainee Transpersonal Counseling Center, 2007 - 2008 !3 Provided individual psychotherapy using different modalities (i.e. psychodynamic and transpersonal) to a diverse population of children and adults in non-profit community counseling and school settings. Counseled trauma, domestic violence, marital. Completed weekly training in object relations and psychotherapy. Completed over 1,000 clinical hours. Practicum Trainee Pathways Home Health & Hospice, 2006 - 2007 Provided individual bereavement counseling at a non-profit community hospice serving a diverse population. Worked with clients presenting with psychological and interpersonal concerns including depression, family of origin issues and adjustment issues. Completed training in grief support group facilitation. Conducted pilot studies of my multi-modal, somatic based bereavement program for adults. TEACHING EXPERIENCE Originator and Group Facilitator Yoga and Meditation Teacher 1991 - Present Established classes, workshops and private instruction in corporations, hospitals, community centers and yoga studios.

Teaching Assistant Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, 2005 - 2006 Assisted in teaching Spiritual Psychology: Sufism.

Supervisor, James Fadiman, Ph.D. Associate Lecturer Harrisburg Area Community College, 1983 - 1987 Taught English As a Second Language to Europeans, Vietnamese, Cambodian and East European refugees. Taught Continuing Education course in Beginning Mandarin Chinese. Instructor of English Taiwan Normal University, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC, 1977 - 1980 Taught freshman English classes in grammar, pronunciation and conversation to refine Chinese students’ abilities as future English teachers, and to facilitate cross-cultural understanding.

  • Yoga Journal - When Yoga Becomes Psychotherapy 12-08-31 2:35 PM
    Yoga Journal - When Yoga Becomes Psychotherapy 12-08-31 2:35 PM When Yoga Becomes Psychotherapy Learn to spot the boundary between guiding poses and guiding emotions. By Dan Charnas My mother is a psychotherapist. I became a yoga teacher out of that same desire to heal. I was intrigued by yoga's ability to deal simultaneously with body and mind: Emotional issues that might take years to tease out in conventional therapy were instead brought to the surface physically, and causes of physical disease could often be deduced through conversation. For me, the union of yoga and psychotherapy was natural. Students would come to my class not just in need of a physical workout, but often in great emotional pain. For those who stayed after class to talk, I'd spend time listening to their problems and trying to guide them on their healing path. Most times those remedies would be an exercise or meditation. But at other times, I'd speak to them with the bluntness of my teacher, Yogi Bhajan, the Master of Kundalini Yoga, who would often not even let his students finish their sentences before reading their energy and dispensing instructions. I've never gone quite as far as that, but venturing into "therapeutic talking" with my students scares me a bit, partly because it comes to me so easily. I am, after all, just a yoga teacher, trained only in the effects of certain sets of exercises on the body, mind, and spirit. I am not a psychotherapist. I don't have an advanced degree in psychology or social work, nor do I have any training in the clinical detachment that therapists use to guard the people in their care.

Stephen Aizenstat, PhD. President iv March 2002 v Abstract THE YOGA OF EMBODIMENT By Jane Dobson As Eastern forms of yoga continue to gain popularity in the Western world, people flock to yoga studios in droves to practice series of poses-- bending twisting, contorting, inverting, and studying more about the predecessors of their art: most probably, BKS Iyengar and Pattabhi Jois. There is no doubt that yoga practice can be exhilarating, challenging, and highly rewarding. However, after years of study, the author wonders whether such “systems” and “schools” of yoga, such as Iyengar, Astanga, and Power Yoga, work to perpetuate the mind/body split that lies at the basis of many contemporary physical and psychological conditions.
