Unlocking the Potential of Human Well-being
In an effort to explore the relationship between movement and therapies, researcher, therapist, and healing practitioner Cindi Saj is conducting groundbreaking research in Williams Lake. As a faculty member of the Master of Counselling Psychology program at Yorkville University, Saj is driven by a desire to understand the impact of combining movement with traditional therapies on human well-being. Her research is focusing on the IDEA framework, which she has recently published in the International Journal of Positivity and Well-being.
- Studying the Effects of Movement on Self-Esteem and Well-being
- Examining the Integration of Yoga, Hypnotherapy, Bilateral Stimulation, and Psychotherapy
- Exploring the Potential of the New Yoga Dome
The Research Study
Cindi Saj’s study involved twelve participants who underwent a yoga-based therapy session at Studio 20 in Williams Lake. The session was hosted by Saj and involved a combination of yoga, hypnotherapy, bilateral stimulation, and psychotherapy integration. Participants began and ended the session with a questionnaire to assess their feelings of self-esteem and well-being before and after the session.

The Potential of the Yoga Dome
The new yoga dome, located out west of Williams Lake, offers a unique opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and connect with nature. Studio 20, which Saj co-owns with Brandy Links and Bianca Cronin, organizes small group hikes to local spots such as Fox Mountain and Russet Bluff, allowing customers to develop a sense of well-being through movement and a connection to nature.
“It’s finding a different way to de-stress or unpack or find peace,” said Cindi Saj about the yoga dome.
The dome will host well-being workshops and yoga sessions, providing a peaceful and serene environment for participants to explore their well-being.
Upcoming Events at Studio 20
- Yoga Session in the Dome: May 10
- Workshop in the Dome: May 11 (Mother’s Day Wellness Theme)
- Hike and Lunch: June 8
The next yoga session in the dome will take place on May 10. A workshop in the dome with a Mother’s Day wellness theme will be held on May 11. Studio 20’s next hike and lunch will be on June 8.
A New Approach to Well-being
Cindi Saj’s research has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach well-being. By combining movement with traditional therapies, Saj is exploring new ways to promote human well-being. The IDEA framework, which she has published in the International Journal of Positivity and Well-being, provides a comprehensive understanding of the impact of movement on human well-being.
Definition of IDEA framework: An approach to understanding the impact of movement on human well-being, which combines yoga, hypnotherapy, bilateral stimulation, and psychotherapy integration. Key Takeaway:
Cindi Saj’s research has the potential to unlock the full potential of human well-being by exploring the intersection of movement and therapy. By combining these two approaches, we can create a more holistic understanding of human well-being and promote a more positive and healthy lifestyle.
