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.
Yoga recognizes five different types of application namely:
- Sristi krama
- Siksana krama
- Raksana krama
- Adhyatmika krama
- Cikitsa krama
Each type of
application has its own set of principles behind, and within, its operation
so as to make the application most appropriate, effective and intelligent.
Thus, each type of application is unique in its own way.
The first
module deals extensively with the following:
- The features of each type of application.
- Comprehensive study of each type and level (introductory, middle stage and advanced) of application, including:
- On whom? Complete study of the individual.
- For what purpose? Assessment of the individual and the requirements.
- How? The methodology of application
In the morning sessions, all the theoretical learning will be presented. Vinyasa kramas will be demonstrated by Lara Abiesheikh, a master of asana.
The afternoon will focus on examination methodologies. Each day, one important joint will be taken up for observation and discussion. The first and third hour will be on studying the methodology of observation, palpation and examination in a workshop manner. The second and the fourth hour will be for discussions based on observation done in the previous hour.
Please Note Pre-Requisites Apply. If you wish to participate in this course or undertake the Post Graduate Diploma in Yoga Therapy, but you have not completed the 9 day Foundations Course or all four of the Foundations Series Workshops, please contact us to discuss your situation.
