ABOUT OUR Facilitator:
Michael Lee, MA, Dip.Soc.Sci, Dip.T., C-IAYT, E-RYT 500
Founder, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy
Dean of School, Faculty
Michael Lee grew up in Australia, where he worked as a teacher and behavioral scientist in the field of personal and organizational change before leaving for the USA in 1984. He wanted to learn about the effectiveness of yoga and Eastern practices for changing lives and so immersed himself at the Kripalu Center (then an ashram) in Massachusetts for two years. This began a career in yoga and yoga therapy with a focus on mental and emotional health now spanning 36 years. Michael founded Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy in 1986 based on his learning and integration of yoga and elements of contemporary psychology which is now supported by neuroscience. Michael is the author of two books, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy—Bridge from Body to Soul and Turn Stress Into Bliss.
He is also a contributing author to the American Psychological Association published book Beyond Talk Therapy: Using movement and expressive techniques in clinical practice. Michael was a keynote speaker at SYTAR for the International Association of Yoga Therapists in 2016 and the opening keynote speaker at Yoga Australia Conference in 2018, as well as a regular presenter at other major conferences.

USABP On The Move is an opportunity for our community to connect and experience restorative practices while getting exposure to many forms of somatic movement and mindful body-awareness programs.
The root of e-motion is “to move.” The same regions of the brain responsible for movement also carry out our cognitive processes. Our brain evolved from movement and still depends on it day to day. Join us to discover how conscious movement can bring nourishing restoration, playful community connection, and the understanding of how moving helps our thoughts, words, and actions.
Somatic tools may include, among others, breath, movement, self-directed touch, sound vibration, and conscious dialogue.
Cost
Free to members and guest.
