Yoga for Depression and Anxiety with Ira Israel is a unique wellness and fitness DVD that contains a 75 minute all-level vinyasa flow yoga class specifically designed to cultivate peace of mind. The DVD also contains a discussion of how our minds function and how yoga helps treat depression and anxiety. Ira Israel is a Psychotherapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Certified Yoga Therapist, and Registered Yoga Teacher E-RYT500. He has Master of Arts degrees in Psychology, Buddhism and Hinduism, and Philosophy. Yoga expert Seane Corn tells us: Through Ira's intelligent and contemporary voice, he is uniquely able to communicate traditional mind/body practices, making yogic philosophies and modern day psychology a natural blend that is necessary for Self-awareness and transcendence to occur. He understands that healing is not possible without awareness and as a yogi and therapist is skilled at guiding his students and clients to richly explore the depths of their inner lives and relationship to Mystery while also staying firmly rooted in the here and now. I recommend Ira's work. He is a relatable and caring presence whose skill comes from self-experience as well as education.
