External listening involves how you pay attention and what you pay attention to in direct and indirect involvement with your audience. Purposeful action will provoke and inspire a change in the reaction of another. But if you are not listening carefully enough, you may miss clues as to how you can respond to encourage the most honest and productive form of communication and progress.
This training will be highly interactive and will involve some physical movement, so wear comfortable clothing that is easy to move in. We may sit on the floor, we may lie on the floor, and we will do a few yoga postures – BRING A YOGA MAT OR TOWEL.
Meet Your Presenter:
Lara Falberg, LISW, received her BSSW and MSW from The Ohio State University. Ms. Falberg has extensive experience working in the fields of child advocacy and with victims of domestic violence. She was the victim advocate with the Dekalb County District Attorney's Office for eight years and continued after she left as a consultant advising attorneys about a child's statements and their emotional abilities to withstand testimony in court. She also continued to play an active role as an expert witness in domestic violence cases, and cases involving the validity of a child's testimony. To manage the stress of this demanding work, she began yoga which would lead her to her yoga teaching certification in February of 2006. She went on to teach yoga and see clients in private practice. It was then she developed her style of utilizing and weaving the yoga philosophies and principles into the therapy sessions. She began to incorporate simple asana, or postures, and yoga breath work into her therapy practice to assist clients with calming techniques and to help draw them into their inner truth and to find contentment when discontent was all around. The growing Yoga Therapy movement is gaining such momentum specifically because the results are actively offering us successful experiences with clients who were not before motivated or inclined towards change. Ms. Falberg teaches yoga classes at The Ohio State University and has produced her own DVD, Yoga Dose, yogadose.com.
