Yoga means many things. One definition is "to yoke" as in "to bring together in union."
DBT yoga skills group provides an opportunity to learn DBT skills and practice bringing these skills to the mat in a DBT themed yoga practice. We will also work on ways to take skillful behavior off the mat and into your daily life.
Participants will complete a 6 week series consisting of one 2 hour session per week. One hour will be dedicated to learning a DBT skill from one of the four core modules listed above and one hour to yoga practice.
