Description:

Is personal enlightenment really possible? Can we creatively experience our own transformational stories via yoga? We propose Erickson’s naturalistic–utilization therapy and Rossi’s 4-stage creative process are consistent with yoga’s ancient science of self-inquiry, mental dexterity and Buddha’s Four Noble truths. In this workshop we will have an opportunity to experience the stories of ancient yoga and self-transformation as presented in our new book, Creating Consciousness: How Therapists can Facilitate Wonder, Wisdom, Beauty, & Truth. We will practice gentle hatha yoga for all fitness levels and volunteers will share their current life transitions. Please bring your yoga mat if you have one.

Educational Objectives:

1. List the four stages of the 4-Stage Creative Process. (Curiosity, Incubation, Aha!, Realization).
2. List three outcomes of hatha yoga practice (physical health, emotional release, and creating a new narrative of our own).
3. List three ways neuroscience facilitates brain growth. (Novelty, Enrichment & Exercise).
