THE HEALING APPROACH OF YOGA

FRAMEWORKS ON APPLYING ASANA & PRANAYAMA IN THE THERAPEUTIC CONTEXT

The effectivity of Yoga’s tools, especially in the context of healing, are best experienced when they are part of an intelligent sequence, not only relating to a particular sequence, but also to the entire evolving process that spans over a period of time. Whether it is asana or pranayama practice, this process must first respect the ability of the individual, as well as the goal of the healing practice that is being put in place by the Care Provider.

Known in yogi parlance as “Vinyasa”, this concept of progressive planning applies to all tools of yoga, both when practiced individually, as well as when they are combined, to become potent holistic yoga practices. A strong foundation in this concept is highly recommended for every yoga teacher and more importantly for every yoga therapy practitioner, to evolve appropriate programs for the Care Seeker.

Through this intensive seminar participants will learn the fundamentals frameworks on adapting and evolving asana and pranayama practices in the context of Yoga Therapy.

Topics that will be covered include :

Concept of Vinyasa Krama           ;      ;
Concept of Prakrti & Vikrti in Vinyasa Krama
Vinyasa Krama in Siksana Krama                 
Vinyasa Krama in Cikitsa Krama

Vinyasa Krama in Pranayama & its modifications
Variations in the Vinyasa Krama
