The ABA Speech Podcast- Easy Strategies for Speech Therapists, BCBAs, and RBTs

#229: Incorporating Yoga into Therapy with Lindsay Watkins


Listen Later

As someone who goes to yoga a few times a week, I was intrigued at the possibility of integrating it into my therapy practice. Lindsay Watkins is a BCBA and Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) with a passion for blending wellness and applied behavior analysis. Lindsay teaches continuing education (CEUs) to BCBAs on this topic on BehaviorLive (her next training is scheduled for June 2, 2025).

Here, Lindsay shares her journey from burning out as a special ed teacher to discovering yoga therapy and figuring out how to apply it to her own clients. We take a look at research studies that show the benefits of using yoga to modify behavior and discuss examples of the techniques in action.

Lindsay also shares how she advocates for this outside-the-box approach to therapy, the benefits of yoga across the lifespan, and tips to level up your own yoga practice.
