In this episode of the Chai Sessions I'm talking to clinical research and health professional Heather Gwyneth Bird.
I first met Heather way back in 2015 when she joined our Yoga Teacher Training programme here at MCY.
We explore the concept of well-being and the intersection of self-improvement, self-acceptance and personal development from a yoga perspective. We talk about some of the significant challenges people are facing with their wellbeing just now and what role yoga might be able to play.
Heather mentions a recent study showing the effectiveness of yoga for depression and another for fatigue management following cancer treatment. There's a lot more work to do to integrate these findings into communities and health care settings, but it's really exciting.
I so enjoyed our conversation and feel there was much more we could have covered. I hope you enjoy it too.
Heather's Yoga & Personal Development Workshop is here at Merchant City Yoga on Saturday 22nd June. This one day workshop blends together yoga, psychological resources and practices with a focus on improving your overall health, helping you better understand yourself and helping you make more beneficial decisions.
