Mindful Yoga-Based Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
How Does it Work?
Mindful Movement: Guided yoga sessions encourage awareness of the body and breath, promoting present-moment awareness.
Acceptance Practice: During yoga, participants practice accepting their thoughts and feelings without judgment, allowing them to be present with whatever arises.
Cognitive Defusion Techniques: Yoga poses are paired with defusion exercises to help individuals observe their thoughts without getting entangled in them.
Values Clarification: Reflective exercises during or after yoga help participants identify their core values and how they can live by them.
Committed Action: Participants are encouraged to set small, meaningful goals that align with their values, integrating yoga and mindfulness into their daily lives.
