Yoga Therapy for the Mind – 8 Week Course with Veena Ugargol
This eight-week course offers a structured, evidence-based approach to building lasting mental wellbeing, drawing on yoga, mindfulness meditation (the foundation of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) and psychotherapeutic support. Meeting weekly for two hours, you’ll explore the body–mind connection through asana, pranayama and restorative mindfulness practices.
