In today's episode, Joe Simek, Breathing Deeply assistant teacher, sits down with Breathing Deeply founder Brandt Passalacqua to talk about yoga therapy and mental health. With mental health, it is not a one size fits all approach. At Breathing Deeply, we teach our students how to create individualized practices that empower their clients to take their health into their own hands! Listen in as Brandt shares with us how yoga therapy's approach to mental health is different yet complementary to mainstream western medicine. Find out what the process is for assessing someone's mental health as a yoga therapist and developing specific yoga practices that work the best for an individual to help them reach their mental health goals. Each person lands at their mental state depending on their own personal journey and their specific imbalances, meaning with yoga therapy two people who are both suffering from anxiety may be given completely different practices. Brandt discusses the multiple assessment models taught at Breathing Deeply which are used to come up with an individualized practice that unfolds in relationship with each client. He then walks us through his process for assessing & curating a practice for a client with anxiety. Breathing Deeply's goal is to bring balance back to the entire system of all of our clients to lessen their suffering. Discover what sets Breathing Deeply from other yoga therapy schools! Om Shanthi This episode covers: The difference between yoga therapy's approach to mental health & the traditional standard of care given in western medicine What does the assessment of someone's mental health look like in yoga therapy?

In today's episode, Joe Simek, Breathing Deeply assistant teacher, sits down with Breathing Deeply founder Brandt Passalacqua to talk about yoga therapy and mental health. With mental health, it is not a one size fits all approach. At Breathing Deeply, we teach our students how to create individualized practices that empower their clients to take their health into their own hands! Listen in as Brandt shares with us how yoga therapy's approach to mental health is different yet complementary to mainstream western medicine. Find out what the process is for assessing someone's mental health as a yoga therapist and developing specific yoga practices that work the best for an individual to help them reach their mental health goals. Each person lands at their mental state depending on their own personal journey and their specific imbalances, meaning with yoga therapy two people who are both suffering from anxiety may be given completely different practices. Brandt discusses the multiple assessment models taught at Breathing Deeply which are used to come up with an individualized practice that unfolds in relationship with each client. He then walks us through his process for assessing & curating a practice for a client with anxiety. Breathing Deeply's goal is to bring balance back to the entire system of all of our clients to lessen their suffering. Discover what sets Breathing Deeply from other yoga therapy schools! Om Shanthi This episode covers: The difference between yoga therapy's approach to mental health & the traditional standard of care given in western medicine What does the assessment of someone's mental health look like in yoga therapy? The difference between going to a yoga class for mental health benefits and seeing a yoga therapist The most important distinction between Breathing Deeply and other yoga therapy schools Seeing our yoga therapy clients as people, not conditions The models we use to teach our students to individualize yoga therapy practices for their clients The process for a new yoga therapy client who comes in with anxiety Breathing Deeply is a Yoga Therapy and Meditation School, founded by lead teacher Brand Passalacqua in 2014.

Brandt Passalacqua, seasoned yoga therapist and founder of the Breathing Deeply, shares with Shira how his near fatal autoimmune condition led him to yoga nidra, preventing death, and subsequently to his passion for yoga therapy. We touch on autoimmune conditions having similar underlying cause of imbalance if we look at the energetic; physiological, body, and how Ayurveda, yoga nidra and meditational techniques effecting our reactivity and stress, but more importantly our natural healing and integration. Brandt shares his experiences of how yoga therapy can significantly reduce autoimmune flares, prevent sugery, reduce pain, cure scorliosis, relieve fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and obesity. We talk about how the effects of adverse childhood experiences, ACEs, especially sexual abuse, translate into trauma due to lack of tools, knowledge and support to healthily express, or share, our inner struggles, enabling healing. How yoga therapy is somatic as well as cognitive; body awareness and self inquiry, enabling us to enter and access healing through different lenses and layers, and understanding how interconnected the body and mind are. And how looking at all our layers is necessary to help a person heal deeply. Brandt covers the different kinds of yoga nidras and why it can be effective or adversely affect others, depending on, many things, one being a person's background. We briefly discuss the importance of seeking help long before crisis situations, physical or psychological, preventing much suffering through self-awareness and self-knowlegde that both Ayurveda and yoga therapy encourage.

In this conversation with yoga therapist Joe Simek and Breathing Deeply founder Brandt Passalacqua, Brandt discusses trauma and yoga therapy. There are a lot of schools of thought about how to approach trauma through yoga and the more common one is a more passive, slower approach, allowing the practitioner to explore movement and breath while giving lots of natural cueing. Although this technique can be really effective, there are other ways to approach trauma. Brandt shares with us what those other approaches are so we can go beyond what we most commonly know as ‘trauma-informed yoga'. We'd love to know your thoughts on using yoga as a means to recover from trauma. Share your experiences as a teacher with us in the comments or over on our Instagram or Facebook page (linked below)!

Welcome to episode 8 of the Breathing Deeply Yoga Therapy & Meditation podcast! In this episode, Breathing Deeply founder Brandt Passalacqua discusses the importance of cultivating softness and openness as part of our meditation practice. Softening and opening allow us to move through our emotional states, even very tough ones, quickly and more effortlessly. With practice, we being to be able to soften into all of it more easily. Every moment, every breath, and every thought is an opportunity for up to be more open, to soften, and to surrender. Brandt also discusses why we may feel resistance to this practice of opening and softening to all of our experiences and emotional states which is resistance to change. By softening and opening to all emotional states, we are doing something different which will change us, perhaps it will radically change us! This is of course the very reason we practice, we don't meditate to stay the same, but as humans, we inherently want to control the way that change looks. This episode will inspire you to invite more openness and surrender into whatever you are experiencing in life as part of your practice to help you move through whatever life throws your way. Topics Covered: The act of softening Our root desire Attachment Resistance to uncomfortable thoughts and feelings Dealing with difficult emotional states by softening Resistance to change Breathing Deeply is a Yoga Therapy and Meditation School, founded by lead teacher Brand Passalacqua in 2014.

In this episode, Breathing Deeply Founder & Lead Teacher, Brandt Passalacqua shares a lecture on reality re-examined as part of the Breathing Deeply Online Meditation Retreat. The reality that we can perceive with our senses is incomplete, there is more to this reality and through philosophical study and meditation, we can expand our awareness to encompass more aspects of reality. Brandt boils down our perception of reality by examining reality through the lens of non-dual yogic traditions and why we feel there is a void to be filled when we can't perceive the totality of our reality. This episode covers the view of reality according to dual and non-dual traditions, the goal of reaching expanded states of awareness, how experiencing reality more fully can help us feel free, and why it is useful to understand these philosophical concepts.

Although valuable on their own, combining the concepts of "Discipline and Surrender" can be important for the evolution of our meditation practice. In this episode, meditation teacher Brandt Passalacqua references the Yoga Sutra and the Yoga Spandakarika texts as he explains how discipline, or "the willingness to maintain the perspective we have found through practice," can lead to a deep surrender, where we can know ourselves at our very cores.
