Wisdom of Movement:
Therapeutic Yoga to Nourish the Therapist
De West, C-IAYT, RYT
Hello,
You listen, support, and hold space for clients all week.
But what about your needs?
It's easy to neglect your own body and mind when you're constantly supporting others.
That's why we're so excited to share De West's exclusive course, Wisdom of Movement: Therapeutic Yoga to Nourish the Therapist!
De teaches a type of yoga that is for every nervous system. She brings depth and elegance to the form. She focuses on the needs of psychotherapists in their offices, not yoginis on the mat.
Whether you think you can't do yoga, have difficulty getting on or off the floor, or simply want someone to help you incorporate movement into your everyday life, this course is for you.
This course will not only make you more comfortable in your body, it will also expand your awareness so you have more presence and insight to support your clients.
Because the bottom line is this: You can't help people if you feel sluggish and depleted yourself.
In these pre-recorded 30-minute guided sessions with De, you will explore:
Session 1 - Nervous System Balance
Session 2 - Noticing Sensations and Awareness
Session 3 - Focused View and Spacious View
Session 4 - Variety and Curiosity
Session 5 - Clearing and Protection
Allow yourself to be guided by De to explore these new tools for self-care and nourishment.
Your next client session is approaching. Join us to become a more embodied and resourced therapist waiting for them in the chair.
Warmly,
Academy of Therapy Wisdom

In this unique series of practices, you will gain:
Session 1: Nervous System Balance
Your nervous system is the core of your body. Learning to track your nervous system is a practice of being aware of what is happening in the present moment. Are you energized? Calm? Numb? In this session, you will be guided to notice the difference between effort and tension, the difference between relaxation and collapse.
Session 2: Noticing Sensations & Awareness
Feeling numb? Practice a variety of sensory exercises to notice a variety of sensations and reconnect to your own body.
Session 3: Focused View and Spacious View
Learn to observe from narrow, focused, or fixated viewpoints to open, expansive, and peripheral views. Serving both your body and your mind, multiple viewpoints provide you with varied possibilities and results.
Session 4: Variety and Curiosity
Shake it up! New exercises open your brain to novelty, lead you to fresh possibilities, and take you out of the rut - whether that's in your personal life, your practice, or when sitting in the chair.
Session 5: Clearing and Protection
Use these techniques to release energy from your system. Leave your clients at the office and end your work day feeling clear and in your own experience.
