Yoga Psychotherapy is a unique and powerful approach to healing and transformation that combines the ancient wisdom of yoga with modern psychotherapy techniques. It is based on the understanding that the mind and body are interconnected and that true healing can only occur when both aspects are addressed.Yoga psychology is the theoretical basis for yoga psychotherapy. It is the science of the embodied relationship between consciousness and mind, and it sees body and mind as indivisible. Yoga psychology gives maximum emphasis to the role of cultivating self-awareness as the key to healing and transformation. It is also known as the science of the “subtle body,” the part of us that lies between and links the physical or causal body, the subtlest part of us.
Yoga Psychotherapy
Yoga psychotherapy is the application of yoga psychology into a clinical setting. It is a holistic approach that not only provides a path to self-healing but also enables spiritual awakening. Yoga psychotherapy views illness as a sacred path to higher awareness if one has the appropriate techniques and support. It is a powerful tool for transforming adversity and suffering into actualization and enlightenment.
There are two primary levels of yoga psychotherapy: behavioral changes and the development of a stable ego, and deep psychotherapy that supports the journey from limited, socially conditioned egoic consciousness to the awakened authentic Self.
