Post Graduate Diploma of
Yoga Therapy Module One:
THE APPLICATIONS OF YOGA AND
OBSERVATION OF THE JOINTS
Dr N Chandrasekaran
MBBS (Dr NC) and Mr Lara Abiesheikh
9 day/9 Night Residential Training Retreat
| 26 October - 4 November 2012 | ANU Kiola Campus, South Coast NSW |
This 9 day residential training is the first module of the VHF Post Graduate Diploma in Yoga Therapy. It may also be taken as a stand alone course, however, pre-requisites apply.
The content and the teaching methodology of this module are essential for all yoga teachers interested in the healing path and aspiring yoga therapists. Its focus concerns the various applications of yoga.
Learning and practicing yoga is one, and the application of yoga on others is entirely different. This difference between yoga and the application of yoga has not been well stressed. This has resulted in the same yoga techniques that teachers have learnt being applied on other people without giving due consideration to the constitutions of the individuals, their capability, their requirements, and without individuality in the teaching methodology itself.
Yoga, from its inception, is very clear that it is intimately personal and deeply experiential. Only the practitioner can experience his or her yoga. On the other hand, yoga has innumerable principles, many potent techniques and tools and a rich science inculcated in it. They have been nurtured and strengthened by an uninterrupted lineage of great masters in yoga. In application of yoga, yoga teachers apply these principles on others to bring out the specific, pre-contemplated and appropriate response.
