7 WEEKS, 7 INNER CONFLICTS | YOGA & PSYCHODYNAMICS

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate. - Carl Jung

In this 7-week course, you’ll journey through the intrapsychic conflicts that shape us as human beings and deeply influence how we experience ourselves, our relationships, and our yoga practice - both as students and teachers.

Guided by psychodynamic psychotherapist and yoga teacher Nora, we’ll bridge psychology and embodied practice to explore the deeper layers of human experience: our needs, fears, conflicts, defenses, and the unconscious stories we carry.

Course Structure

Each week follows the same rhythm, giving you different ways to engage with the topic.

• In-person group sessions | Every Monday, 5:30-7:30 PM. A live group session combining teaching, discussion, reflection and experiential work.

• Online content | Self-paced material to deepen the theory behind each conflict, with space to reflect and explore between sessions.

• Embodied yoga practices* | You’re strongly encouraged to join Nora’s Yang to Yin class at YOTM, 8:15 PM on Mondays, directly after the session, to bring each week’s themes into practice and experience them in the body.

*the class is not included in the course fee. Please reserve your spot separately via your USC / ClassPass / Wellpass check-in or your YOTM membership.
