Understanding the five layers of our unique human being

The comprehension of our human system by the ancient oriental philosophies differ significantly from the way modern medical science perceives and understands the human body.  These unique perceptions form the basis of the fundamental philosophical frameworks that originate from these ancient cultures.

The philosophies of Yoga and Ayurveda that come from India, share a common approach in understanding of the human entity, which itself originates from the ancient teachings of the Veda-s. Presented as an inter-dependant layer of five dimensions, each influencing the other strongly, the human body is seen as a holistic and complex entity. Hence the influence of one layer, radiates to the other, be it in a positive or a negative way.  This apart the role of the consciousness, which is the resident life source that brings alive these layers, cannot be overlooked. 

Hence the perception of the human being, as well as the application of health and healing practices on them, was based on a multifaceted approach, that brought together the manifest forms of human nature, with the un-manifest source of life. This is why the practices suggested by Yoga and Ayurveda seem more potent than they appear, and begin to show results in multiple layers, especially when applied in the area of health and healing.

A sound understanding of these systems and their operations becomes a necessity for every Yoga teacher and Yoga therapist, so that it is not only helpful in diagnostics of illness, but also in the application of Yoga in areas of wellness and healing.

This 5-day seminar is open to all, and will be particularly suitable for Yoga teachers, Yoga therapists and other health-care professionals. The seminar will not only explore the theoretical frameworks of these five layers, but also understanding through discussion and practice, how the tools of yoga can influence the five dimensions.

This seminar will be taught by Kausthub Desikachar, who is a KHYF Yoga Therapist Trainer. KHYF Members can accumulate CEU Credit by participation in this seminar. This seminar is especially designed for Oceania members of KHYF as an opportunity for Continuing Education.
