What is The Minded Institute?
The Minded Istitute is a leading organisation in the development and implementation of Yoga Therapy and mindfulness programs for mental health. Founded by Heather Mason, The Minded Institute grew out of her own experiences in working with depression and anxiety. After years of personal yoga and meditation practice, along with academic study in Buddhist Psychology/Psychotherapy, Neuroscience, Yoga Therapy and Mindfulness she decided to devote her time to the creation of programs that target the psychological and physiological challenges inherent in mental health issues.
What is Minded Yoga Therapy?
Minded Yoga Therapy is inspired by yoga, mindfulness, neuroscientific understanding, and psychotherapeutic principles to effectively blend ancient mind-body practices with modern scientific insight.
"Yoga therapy is the dedicated and particular use of yoga practices for the treatment of specific mental and physical ailments. The employment of therapeutic yoga practices must be, in part, based on a scientific and medical understanding of the benefits of these practices and of the conditions being treated."
