Tutor: Kathleen Crawford Email: [email protected] Phone: 0419 524 962 EFT involves using the fingers to

tap on acupuncture points of the body. This helps balance the meridian system, lowering cortisol levels, and reducing stress and pain. EFT is evidence-based (research-based) and is used worldwide to treat a variety of

physical and emotional conditions. It is safe, easily learned and there are no special requirements except to do it! I am a semi-retired psychologist/coach and have been using this method for about 20 years.

Practicing yoga for 10 years inspired me to develop a greater understanding of yoga history, philosophy, and its evolution to yoga today (modern yoga). This led me to undertake yoga teacher training at the Victorian Institute for Yoga Education and Teacher Training. During this course, I developed a love for teaching yoga and helping others

share my passion. After completing a year of Hatha Yoga training I began teaching yoga beginner classes to small groups of three to five participants. These classes focused on helping participants develop an understanding of yoga

and what to expect from a yoga class to prepare them for attending any class.
