PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Highlights of the program:

The uniqueness of this training will be that it will be taught in the authentic classical tradition of T. Krishnamacharya. Trainees will learn how to use and apply not only Asana   ( Posture) or Pranayama ( breathing) techniques, but also very powerful tools of yoga like Mantra (chanting), Bhavana (visualisation), Nyasa (gestures), Svadhyaya (self-reflections), Ahara (diet recommendations), Mudra ( energetic seals), etc. This training will have a strong connection with the Philosophy of Yoga.

Every trainee will have the guidance of a mentor and will be required to do daily personal practice for self-transformation and healing purposes. We believe that first you have to help yourself before you lead others toward the healing process.

The Holistic Yoga Therapy Training will have 3 purposes: healing, self-transformation and learning how to lead clients toward the healing process.

Philosophical Foundations:

This tradition describes Yoga Therapy as a complimentary system of health care where seekers under guidance of qualified Yoga Therapist care reduce symptoms or removes himself from disease using many tools of yoga. Yoga Therapy is a self-empowering process, taught on a one-to-one approach, where the care seeker is responsible for their own healing process.
