What is MYACT, you ask? Mindful Yoga-Based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy was designed by Timothy Gordon, MSW, Jessica Borushok, PhD and Steve Ferrell, E-RYT. It's an 8-week program designed to teach you the skills and principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) through the moving meditation practice of yoga.
MYACT teaches life enhancing skills through a combination of theoretical learning, group discussions and of course, yoga poses. The MYACT program is for anyone looking to cope more effectively with human suffering, such as depression, anxiety, low self confidence, addiction, burn-out, body image dissatisfaction, stress and more. Through MYACT, you can learn powerful concepts and tools to help you navigate these painful experiences more effectively all while building a rich and meaningful life.
Our 8-week MYACT program starts Wednesday, January 22nd from 6:30pm to 7:45pm (see full list of dates below). Sessions will be held at the North Gloucester Public Llibrary, Room A.
