Current & Upcoming Workshops
Tend Her 4.0
Free Online 4 Week Training
Begins March 31 and Registration Opens March 12
Join a movement of hope as the final installment of Tend Her begins on March 31. This online program began in 2021 thanks to a mental health prevention grant through the state of Iowa, and each year over a 1000 women have taken part in the program. We feel extremely lucky to have received this grant for a final time. This program includes 4 weeks of online training and practices, a 21-day recorded meditation challenge, opportunities to circle with other women, a month of “Glimmer Events” to enhance hope, and an in person Hope Summit on April 25 at Little Lights on the Lane in West Branch. The first 1000 registrants also get a bonus box with a specially designed journal and a bracelet by {Made Community}.
Yoga For The Mind
next course: 2026
Yoga for the Mind is an online 5-month program that will provide you a certification for integrating yoga into your mental health work, or integrating an understanding of mental health into how you teach yoga. Graduates of the certification program, working within their scope of practice, will be able to use the skills learned in this program as adjunctive treatment for mental health.
The course will also provide evidence based practical tools to use with your clients, whether you are a therapist working 1-on-1 with clients or a teacher leading group classes.
This training also includes weekly calls and Q & A’s with Dr. Betsy for additional support and supervision as you begin to use this methodology in your work.
This course will be offered again in 2026.
Tend Her 3.0
