Yoga and its link to mental health Nikolai Blinow TEDxSalveReginaU

Verbalize the similarities between yoga philosophy and evidence-based Western mental health practices. Identify a mindless yoga practice that can be used in mental health treatment to improve cognitive change and a mindfulness-based yoga practice that can be used to improve behavior change.

Nikolai Blinow is a certified yoga instructor and licensed mental health counselor in the state of Rhode Island. She founded OMpowerment Psychotherapy with the goal of serving a unique niche in the mental health and personal development community. Nikolai integrates research-based Westernized mental health practices with holistic approaches to treatment and does so by combining training in interpersonal communications and mental health counseling with yoga and mindfulness practices.
