Yoga to Calm the Mind
A steady mind adds to our overall health and well-being. In this course, we will explore original
yoga psychology and its timeless relevance to bringing about mental calmness. Mapping of the mind, its tendencies,
and the recommendations for strengthening its focus will be based upon the teachings from the classical Yoga Sutras
by Patanjali. Unlike modern yoga settings, this will be a regular lecture setting combined with personal journaling
and meditative uses of breath, chanting, and minor movement. This course is designed to benefit everyone from existing
yoga teachers to newcomers to yoga. Recommended attendance is a minimum of three of the six sessions.
Kate Vogt is a registered Yoga instructor with the national Yoga
Alliance. She has studied extensively Yoga's philosophical and therapeutic tradition with two of the foremost authorities

book, Mala of the Heart.

systems and structures. Train your hands to find acupressure points that work in seconds to relieve pain and relax
muscles right under your fingers. You'll learn to focus your intention like a laser to insert "imaginary"
needles that work just like steel needles to restore balance and health for days after a session. This fall we
will cover neck pain, back pain and headaches. No experience necessary.
