Life in Yoga Institute Inc is accredited by ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

This CME program addresses emotional wellness as a current issue because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It affects different groups differently, but the common element is the inability to go about as with normal life. Reactions border on fear, frustration and even anger, and political posturing contributes to further inflammation. This results in higher level of anxiety disorder, depressive disorders, mood swings and insomnia. Yoga is well-researched for its impact on mental health ranging from high school children to seniors, and it could be a useful approach for application for the emotional health of the population.

This course presents the combined wisdom of psychiatrists, yoga therapists and family practice physicians from their years of experience, and includes the following presentations and discussions:

• The Role of the Mind in Health Management
  
• Spectrum of Emotional Health during COVID-19
  
• Yoga Approaches to Psychosomatic Balance
  
• Clinical Implementation
  
• Question-Answers
  
  

In addition, to enhance the learning of yoga application, CME registrants are recommended to attend free practice sessions available in daily video-conference before the CME event (See Zoom link on page 4). This serves multiple purposes: (a) learn the yoga techniques; (b) observe impact on a cross-section of people similar to patient population who attend the session numbering between 150 and 200 daily; (c) these free practice sessions are available for your patients as well. Attendance of up to 5 hours can qualify for credits.
