SUMMARY:Samagra Yoga Chikitsa - Yoga Therapy Training India 2026
DESCRIPTION:In ancient times\, yoga used to be taught one-on-one. Today\, group yoga classes are a more common phenomenon. However\, if we want to assist our students in the most efficient way in response to their specific needs\, we need individual yoga or in another words Comprehensive Yoga Healing Course. \nIn this four weeks course we build on a concept that each body and mind is unique. It is impermanent and can be moulded at any given time. It changes with time\, disease or while adjusting to external conditions. If we want to improve health in a holistic way\, we need to look closely at a few factors that the human existence is composed of: body\, breath and its associate prana\, different parts of the mind\, the concept of soul and eternal happiness – in another words the concept of Pancha Kosha – five sheaths existence. \nIt is the birth right of every human being to feel healthy and fulfilled. You don’t have to change your partner\, your house or the country of residence. You only need to change your attitude and restore the feeling of completion which is already within you but has been covered by layers of conscious or unconscious thoughts\, impressions and experiences. In this sense yoga therapy doesn’t mean learning but rather “unlearning”. \n \nThis course deals with topics such as comprehensive yoga therapy\, Panchakosha Tattwa (five sheaths existence)\, Adhi (distress)\, Vyadhi (disease)\, Svastha Vrittam (prevention according to Ayurveda)\, consultation\, Vijnanopadesa (yogic counselling)\, basics of anatomy and physiology\, rehabilitation and psychosomatic diseases. Besides the classical yoga techniques\, you will acquire many special techniques from yoga therapy such as cyclic relaxation or prana channalizing. Part of the course is also a detailed study and practice of the cleansing techniques – Shatkriya. \nToday\, where almost everyone suffers of one or more chronic diseases is the individual approach of outmost significance. After completing this course you can either treat people in the form of individual consultation sessions or you can implement the teachings into your yoga classes. This training in yoga therapy is a foundation for any other form of therapy.  \nIn this training you don’t learn to treat diseases but you work with your client individually in a unique way depending on many factors such as combination of diseases\, working environment\, family background etc.  \nThe teaching and schedule will be in a traditional Indian Gurukula system which may be different from what you have experienced until now. All participants should be physically and mentally fit when joining the course in order to be able to feel and experience the wisdom of the ancient science of yoga.  \nFurthermore\, we offer ongoing yoga therapy trainings such as Level 2 – Yoga Psychology and Yoga Therapy for Autoimmune Disorders and Level 3 – Yoga Therapy for Psychological Disorders. \nAll sessions are mandatory and the course shall not to be regarded as a personal vacation. If for any reason you won’t be able to attend a class\, you have to inform one of the staff members.  \nDuring these 4 weeks you should set your personal likes and dislikes aside. You shall practice and live the concept of Kriya Yoga – Tapas\, Ishwara Pranidhana\, Swadhyaya – as it was described by the sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. This is also the essence of yoga therapy as a successful treatment method. Therefore your full commitment to the course is required. Your quality as a student and aspiring yoga therapist should be: 1. tapas = will power\, 2. ishwara pranidhana = trust\, 3. swadhyaya = self-analysis.  \nAfter having passed both practical and written exams successfully and having proven your abilities to become yoga therapy instructor during the whole course of training\, you will be awarded a certificate bearing the title Yoga Therapy Instructor certified by both Arsha Yoga as well Indian Yoga Association. \n\nCURRICULUM (260 hrs) \nPractice (118 hrs): therapeutic effects in asana\, pranayama\, meditation\, mantra\, kriya \nTheory (48 hrs): 4 paths of yoga in yoga therapy\, pancha kosha tattwa (5 sheaths of human existence)\, adhi (distress)\, adhija vyadhi (psychosomatic disease) \nSpecific practices for Yoga therapy (48 hrs) \nSpecial techniques for yoga therapy (24 hrs): cyclic relaxation\, prana channalizing \nAnatomy and physiology according to functional anatomy by Paul Grilley (6 hrs) \nGuest lectures (8 hrs): Ayurveda and Naturopathy \nSelf-study (80 hrs) non-contact hrs: karma yoga\, revision \n\n\n\n\nDaily schedule \n\n\n\n\n5:30 AM \n\n\nwake-up \n\n\n\n\n6 AM to 6:45 AM \n\n\npranayama and meditation (self practice on Wednesday) \n\n\n\n\n7:15 AM  \n\n\ntea \n\n\n\n\n8:15 AM to 10 AM \n\n\nasana class (self practice on Friday) \n\n\n\n\n10:15 AM \n\n\nbrunch \n\n\n\n\n12:30 – 1:15 PM \n\n\nspecial techniques from the yoga therapy \n\n\n\n\n2 to 4 PM (Friday off) \n4 to 6 PM \n\n\ntheory  \npractice \n\n\n\n\n6:15 PM \n\n\ndinner \n\n\n\n\n7 PM \n\n\nsatsang (self practice on Tuesday) \n\n\n\n\n9:30 PM \n\n\nlights our  \n\n\n\n\nStaff teachers: \nAcharya Harilalji  and guests \ncourse co-ordinator: Marie Meera Karanath \nSTAFF teachers: \nAcharya Harilalji: \nwas born in 1970 and comes from a traditional family in Kerala\, South India.
