In this episode I talk about the Kosha model- the Layers that make up a person, which is the foundation for the yoga therapy process. I take what I have learned in my 10 years as an Occupational Therapist and expand this view to understand how a person exists in context of their surroundings and how a person's surroundings impact the layers of our being. There is an associated Yoga White Board to visualize this on Instagram @LauraGyoga and a video on YouTube at Laura Goellner's Yoga Focus Method.

I have been working for the past 10 years as an Occupational Therapist, a career that sits at the meeting point of the mind and the physical body. My work as a therapist has given me a strong foundation in understanding the body and the techniques that can be used promote healing.
