Yoga Training

Yoga therapy can be defined as the application of Yogic principles tailored to an individual's specific spiritual, psychological, or physiological goals. This approach encompasses various intelligently designed steps, drawing from Ashtânga Yoga components, such as yama, niyama, âsana, prânâyâma, pratyâhâra, dhâranâ, dhyâna, and samâdhi. Additionally, it incorporates meditation, textual study, spiritual or psychological counseling, chanting, imagery, prayer, and ritual to meet individual needs. Yoga therapy values diversity in age, culture, religion, philosophy, occupation, and health status.

Practiced from one or more of three perspectives:

1.Enhancing Personal Power: Yoga fosters physical and mental strength, concentration, mastery of postures, and the ability to sustain effort over time—known as shakti-krama.

2. Healing and Balancing: Yoga addresses specific issues, such as purifying bodily systems (doshas) or balancing energy centers (chakras) and channels (nâdîs)—referred to as chikitsâ-krama.

- If illness exists, it aims for healing (chikitsâ).
- In the absence of illness, it focuses on protection (rakshana).
- When one has learned self-protection, it provides training (shikshana).

3. Transcending the Self: Yoga goes beyond the physical, leading individuals to understand their true selves as unchanging Witnesses (Purusha) amidst the ever-changing world (prakriti)—âdhyâtmika-krama.

Key principles include:

1. Tailoring Instruction: Teaching is customized to the individual (yukta-shiksana).
2. Respect for Differences: Recognizing and respecting the uniqueness of each person (bheda).
3. Cultural Sensitivity: Consideration for a student's cultural background (desha).
4. Individualized Approach: Adapting teaching to suit one's constitution, age, and disposition (deha).
5. Seasonal Adaptation: Recognizing the impact of seasons and time of year (kâla).
6. Occupation-Based Teaching: Tailoring instruction according to a student's profession or interests (vritti).
7. Understanding Capacity: Assessing a student's endurance, memory, and study/practice time (shakti).
8. Aligning with Interests: Ensuring that teaching aligns with a student's personal interests and inclinations (mârga).
