SUMMARY:CE Workshop | Media Consumption & Your Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:In 2019\, the National Institute of Health (NIH) wrote an article\, “Can you get PTSD/Trauma by watching TV?” They concluded that “TV viewing following trauma exposure may be a marker of vulnerability for developing PTSD and also a consequence of having PTSD. High TV viewing levels may be linked with ineffective coping strategies or social isolation\, which increase risk of developing PTSD” (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6428392/).\n\nWith information at our fingertips\, we can watch what’s going on 24 hours a day\, 7 days a week. Our exposure to war is constant\, but how does the body handle it? Seeing horrific things on the news can cause significant anxiety\, depression\, trauma\, and stress—which impact us in many different ways. Yoga is one tool available that can help mitigate these symptoms.\n\nIn this workshop you’ll learn the signs of over-exposure and tools to help protect your mental wellness during these challenging times\, plus:\n\n· Understand the history & impact of media on your mental health\n· Identify symptoms through a simple checklist approach\n· Learn solutions to combat stress using proven tools such as: yoga\, meditation\, EFT/Tapping\, breathwork\, and affirmations

SUMMARY:CE Workshop | Does Yoga Come From the Vedas?
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to say that yoga has Vedic roots? The Vedas are India’s oldest sacred texts\, but their earliest mantras don’t mention yoga as we’ve come to know it. The first description of yoga as a meditative discipline is found in the Upaniṣads; these philosophical texts are also part of the Vedic tradition\, but they share a new worldview. In this workshop\, Daniel Simpson will explore this distinction and why it matters. In the process\, you will learn:\n\n· How yoga began outside the Vedic mainstream\, yet drew on Vedic ideas\n· Why early yoga was not about action\, but focused instead on renunciation\n· What links the liberating insights of early practitioners to modern forms yoga
