Online Yoga Therapy Consultation
2020-04-01 - 2020-05-17 | Online
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 you in the most efficient way in response to your specific needs, we need individual yoga or in another words – yoga therapy.
It 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” or being yourself without any preconceptions or clichés. Our nature is happiness and bliss.
Today, where almost everyone suffers of one or more chronic diseases is the individual approach of outmost significance.
NEWLY we offer online Yoga Therapy consultations and practice. There are 3 categories to choose from according to your health condition and need:
1. Consultation and Therapy (for psychosomatic disorders such as backpain, MS, migraine, asthma etc.)
2. Vijñānopadeśa (for psychological disorders such as anxiety, depression, burn out and stress)
3. Yogopadeśa (for healthy people who look for life direction and coaching)
First consultation takes 60 min, all following sessions 45 min. If you want to book yoga therapy session/s, please send an email to info@arshayoga.org with a short description of your problem. In return, we will send you a questionnaire to fill. Once you have completed the questionnaire, mail it back to us and we can book the first consultation.
Looking forward to meeting you in the virtual space!

Life doesn’t fit in our yogamats!! We need to extend our Yoga to the Life!! Kalariyogam is created to transform person into a level where his physical, emotional and intellectual levels are strong and balanced ,so that he can live the very life in its intensity.
All his qualities will enhance not just on the yoga mat, but on the life itself. It is a balanced combination of Hatha yoga, ‘Kalarippayattu’ and ‘Tantra’ created by Kuttu by acquiring and seeking knowledge and suggestions from various spiritual gurus and yoga Āchāryas from India.
Hatha yoga is a yogam of stillness in pranic level, Kalarippayattu is yogam of dynamic prana and Tantra has a perfect way to combine both these yogams and implement it in life. When these systems combined with proper understanding Kalariyogam turns into an absolute yoga system for present world.
Course details:
A retreat to give a wider and clearer understanding about yoga system and to transform the practitioner to a certain level, so that he experiences the pranic world. The retreat follows the traditional path of hatha yoga., using the tools from kalari and tantra to enhance the pace and to make use of it in the daily life of the practitioner.
Practical sessions of kalariyoga Retreat are mainly designed to make the practitioner to move from ‘āsanas’ to the next level ‘prānayāma’. It is merely breathing excercises that are often being practiced in the name of prānayāma. To be able to do prānayāma one should feel the prāna in its’ totality. ‘Prānadhārana ‘( the ability to maintain total awareness on prāna) should be maintaned. This is our aim. Our lectures compose of the philosophy of Hatha yoga and other traditional yoga systems. Philosophy means the root map with clear explanation, instruction and information of very path each practitioner is supposed to move on. Transformation is prior to the philosophy. It is direction of practice, rather than mere intellectual information.

Venue:
Arsha Yoga Gurukulam has been founded by Meera and Harilal Karanath whose aim is to make traditional Vedic knowledge and lifestyle accessible for a modern mind. Arsha Yoga Gurukulam is located in silent beach of central Kerala in Thrissur District, where traditional knowledge of yoga, Ayurveda and Vedanta is being impaired.
The Ashram provides two simple vegetarian Ayurvedic meals per day that suit the learning and practicing of yoga and two times chai and snacks.
We take effort to provide homegrown organic vegetables and fruits from our garden to the guests. What we eat, we serve also. We do not use any chemical detergents such as washing powder or cleaning detergent. Our main home makers are vinegar, baking soda and soap nuts. Even though the soil is mostly sandy, since some time, our garden doesn’t need any extra fertiliser, as we use the mixture of cow dung from our Parvati and compost waste. We can proudly say, that you cannot find such a green land anywhere along the beach stripe.
Arsha Yoga Gurukulam is a plastic free zone. Whatever plastic you bring, please take back with you also.
Experience authentic local living with an international family flair.
In respect of the local culture and in consideration of the ashram life please comply by the following ashram guidelines:
Alcohol, drugs, smoking and non-vegetarian diet (meat, fish or eggs) are prohibited during the ashram stay.
Long pants and t-shirt covering the shoulders are required for the ashram stay. Tight fitting and transparent clothing should be avoided.
For swimming, women are requested to wear shorts down to their knees and a t-shirt covering the shoulders.
In respect of the local culture kindly restrain expressions of affection (like hugging or kissing) in public.

Shoes, and to a lesser degree, feet, have unclean associations. Shoes are not allowed in any of the ashram buildings, especially in places of worship and dining. Shoes should be left neatly in the spaces provided. Avoid pointing your feet at the altar or teacher as this is considered disrespectful.
In India, as the left hand is generally used for personal hygiene, one should avoid using the left hand when interacting with others. In our Indian ashrams, meals are served in the traditional manner by sitting on the floor and eating with the right hand. It is considered rude to offer anything or serve food etc. with the left hand. Eat, give and receive (especially food and prasad) with your right hand.
All books are symbolically associated with Saraswasti – the goddess of learning and creativity. It is considered disrespectful to place the feet or sit on books.
Do not bring any drinks or food items from outside to the ashram as this disrupts the schedule and diet suitable for ashram life. If you have any dietary requirements due to health reasons, we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
The guidelines have been set up in order to maintain a pure atmosphere and make the ashram stay a true spiritual experience for its guests.
FACILITIES: library and internet access are available outside of class timings.

YTITC - Yoga Therapy Instructor Training Course (260 hrs)
2020-01-16 21:30 - 2020-02-13 21:30 | Kerala
COURSE DATES: January 16 – February 13, 2020
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 word yoga therapy.In this four weeks course, we build on a concept that each body and mind is unique. It is impermanent and can be molded at any given time. It changes with time, disease or as an adjustment to external conditions.

If we want to improve health in a holistic way, we need to look closely at a few factors that compose the human existence: body, breath and it’s associate prana, different parts of the mind, the concept of soul and eternal happiness that we call in yoga Pancha Kosha – five sheaths existence.It 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 layer of conscious or unconscious thoughts, impressions and experiences. In this sense yoga therapy doesn’t mean learning but rather “unlearning”.

Join us for the one month journey within! Only when you know yourself, you will be able to direct others on a similar internal quest for sustainable happiness.This 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.

In 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.

During these 4 weeks you should be ready to set your personal likes and dislikes aside. You will be practicing and living the concept of Kriya Yoga – Tapas, Ishwara Pranidhana, Swadhyaya – as it was described by 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.

Today, 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. After having passed the practical and written exam and having proven your abilities to become a 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 as Yoga Alliance International.

Yin Yoga Teacher Training Course - Module B
2020-01-04 17:00 - 2020-01-12 03:00 | Kerala
“Yin Yoga, Upper-Body-Anatomy, Meridians & Chakra Meditation“- Module B
4. – 11. January 2020with Shakti and Maheshwara
This Yin Yoga Teacher Training offers two modules and after each module students will be awarded a Arsha Yoga/Yoga Alliance 50 hour certificate.
The trainings are based on the anatomical principles of Paul and Suzee Grilley and each module is complete in itself, providing you with the foundations of Yin Yoga and then specialize on a different theme, deepening your understanding of this mindful asana-practice as well as yoga-philosophy in general.
The tissue in our body needs an appropriate exercise in order to stay healthy, grow and heal. The law of our body is: use it or lose it.
Yin Yoga originated in the US and was founded by Paul Grilley. It is a soft and slow asana practice without any correct or exact form. While the connective tissue, fascia and soft tissues of the joints are “trained“ in a specific way, our muscles remain relaxed. The postures are held without any effort or strain. Yin Yoga has has a strengthening and regenerative effect on the tissues while the entire system enjoys deep states of relaxation. Physical restrictions disappear and energy flows.
Yin yoga positively influences the joints and myofascial structures mainly of the pelvis, legs and spine. In this training we will specialise in the muscles of the upper body and skeletal variations of the shoulder girdle, cervical spine, humerus and ulnar, which has an influence on all asanas involving the upper back, arms and hands.We will then deeply explore the fascia as the “meridian-tissue“ and look at the Yin-Meridians of the body in theory and practice.

What you will learn in this training:
In this training we will analyse, observe and practice all of the elements of Yin Yoga in depth. We will break down the theory and practice of Yin, Chakras and Meridians, Anatomy of yoga for Yin and Yang and Modern Meridian Theory as applied to Yin Yoga. The trainings are based on the philosophical and anatomical principles of Paul and Suzee Grilley. Students will be awarded a yoga alliance 50 hour certificate.

Hitáhára aneb ájurvéda jako matka zdravé výživy

S Hariláldžím a Meerou Karanath
Zdravá strava podle jógy se doporučuje v klasických textech pouze pro asketické jogíny, kteří praktikují několik hodin denně. Tedy, přiznejme si, nic moc praktického pro dnešní pracující ženu s několika dětmi za zády.
Proto se pro běžný světský život doporučuje strava podle sesterské disciplíny ájurvédy. Strava je jedním z hlavních pilířů zdraví např. vedle správného vylučování, trávení nebo spánku.
V poslední době se to jen hemží výživovými doporučeními, které avšak často nevedou k nějakému plnohodnotnému výsledku. Avšak ájurvéda nám již před tisíci lety dala podrobný návod na to, jak se správně stravovat, abychom v životě dosáhli stavu sukha, což v překladu se sanskrtu znamená lehkost.

Yin Yoga Training - Anatomical Foundations
2019-01-05 - 2019-01-12 | Kerala
Dates: January 5 – 12, 2019
The tissue in our body needs an appropriate exercise in order to stay healthy, grow and heal. The law of our body is: Use it or lose it.
Yin Yoga originated in the US and was founded by Paul Grilley. It is a soft and slow asana practice without any correct or exact form. While the connective tissue, fascia and soft tissues of the joints are trained in a specific way, our muscles remain relaxed. The postures are held without any effort or strain. Yin Yoga has a strengthening and regenerative effect on the tissues while the entire system enjoys deep states of relaxation. Physical restrictions disappear and energy flows.
Yin yoga positively influences the joints and myofascial structures mainly of the pelvis, legs and spine. During the course of the training you will study these parts of the body in detail: muscles of the thigh and torso as well as the skeletal variations of the legs, hips and spine. You will learn how asanas work in these different areas and how each individual will approach asana practice to avoid injuries or frustration and enjoy the deepest benefit of the pose.
This course will give you a whole new understanding about the importance of an individual approach to asana practice and infuse your teaching with new enthusiasm, as you will be able to recognize the anatomical differences in your students and provide them with appropriate individual guidance.
What you will learn in this training:
• Yin Yoga in theory and practice, theory of exercise, Yin & Yang-theory, the functional approach to yoga
• Overview: 14 skeletal segments, 10 muscle groups
• In depth study of 9 muscle groups (thigh and torso mandala)
• Skeletal variations: ankles, tibia, femur, hips and spine
• The 7 archetypal asanas and their variations
• Functional analysis of asanas (spinal twists, hip openers and sitting postures, backbends and forward bends)
• Target areas in Yin Yoga
• How to teach Yin Yoga
• Fascia and the regenerative effect of Yin Yoga
• Sequencing a Yin Yoga class

Both did their yoga teacher trainings with Yoga Vidya in Germany (BYV) and the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centers (ISYVC) in India in 1999 and 2001. In 2003 they founded the Yoga Vidya Center in Speyer, Germany where they teach courses and trainings since then. Every year they visit India to continue and deepen their knowledge. They also organize yoga-pilgrimage-tours through different parts of India and study philosophy and sanskrit with their yoga and vedanta teachers Swami Govindananda and Swami Tattvarupananda in Kerala. Every January they teach anatomy and asana classes in the advanced training for Yoga Teachers (YTTC Level 2) of the Sivananda Yoga Vidya Peetham. Maheshwara´s passion is the teaching of yoga anatomy with a lively, practical and down to earth approach. Both teach with humor and love forged from 21 years of practice and teaching experience.

Yoga Therapy Training Level 2 - Yoga Psychology
2018-12-01 09:00 - 2018-12-12 17:00 | Kerala
Dates:December 1 – 12, 2018
This 12 days course offers a good understanding about the human mind and its connection with the material world, our body and soul. It deals with the knowledge spread over many Vedic scriptures of ancient India. As the Mind itself is an instrument of endless information and knowledge, even the Encyclopaedia Britannica would have not been sufficient in describing it and its functions. But what we can cover in 5 days is an insight into the mysteries of the mind that Rishis (the wisemen) were able to see and describe. The knowledge of mind is present in all aspects of life – yoga, ayurveda, music, dance, rituals, economics, social life or politics – and all such disciplines deal with the concept of mind only. This course is an attempt to collect this dissipated knowledge about mind and put it into a structure which is understandable for the modern mind. While the modern psychology starts its inquiry about the Mind from the aspect of the physical body, the yoga psychology mentions the Soul first. The objective of this course is not to compare yoga and western psychology and point out the differences but rather to present yoga psychology as a complete functional psychological approach. Suitable for yoga teachers, yoga therapists, psychologists, holistic therapists, and healers.

There will be daily asana, pranayama, meditation and karma yoga practices other than the lectures and course topics.

Jóga, vůně a hvězdy
2018-07-06 08:00 - 17:00 | Kerala
Víkend na rekonstruovaném Beránkově mlýně na samotě v náruči přírody s jógou, aromaterapií a astrologií.
Termín: 6.-8.7.2018, retreat začíná v pátek v 18 hodin a končí v neděli obědem
Aromaterapie a astrologie s krásnou neznámou houslistkou a mojí drahou kamarádkou Veronikou Vališovou. Astrologie jako cesta sebepoznání… Kdo jsme, co chceme a kam chceme, aby náš život směřoval ?
Aromaterapie může být pomocníkem, který nám na této cestě intuitivně nabízí podporu a odvahu, abychom tyto odpovědi hledali a nacházeli v našem nitru…
Jóga, meditace a zpěv s krásnou a možná známější Marií Meerou Karanath.
Svoji drahou kolegyni, Šárku Konečnou z Jógovny, jsem tak trochu tento rok na oblíbený víkendový retreat ¨vyměnila¨, přiznám se, ale jenom proto, že ji čeká teď mnohem krásnější období, kdy se bude věnovat méně sama sobě a více jak ona sama říká “plus jedničce¨.
Jsem ale pevně přesvědčená, že “záskok” v podání Veroniky Vališové, nebude o nic méně napínavý a obohacující. Veroniku jsem poznala za jedné silné letní bouřky, která ji zavála do našeho pražského bytu, kde jsme na rok s manželem pobývali, než jsme se nadobro přestěhovali do Indie. Hned na první pohled mi byla sympatická svým jemným a citlivým ženským vzezřením, avšak také silnou mužskou racionální rozhodností, kterou máme společnou. Jinak řečeno: s ničím se moc zbytečně nemazlit a konat. Hlásila se na námi pořádaný měsíční kurz jógové terapie v Indii. Po společně stráveném měsíci jsem věděla, že to už s námi dvěma bude “nadlouho”. Znám se dobře i s její maminkou a naše dcery se na hřišti hádají, kdo z nich má pravdu.
A teď Veronika něco sama o sobě:
A kdo jsem já? Momentálně maminka na plný úvazek, což je pro Střelce disciplína
poněkud náročná…:-) Nejsem asi zrovna moc sdílná, ale naštěstí výzvy přijímám, proto
se moc těším na seminář s Meerou a s vámi…a snažím se tedy napsat něco o sobě: Jóga
je pro mě nejdražší přítelkyní, na kterou občas nezbývá čas, ale její všudypřítomný
moudrý pohled cítím v každém pohybu, v každé myšlence, v každé životní zkoušce…
Astrologie je má zatím nenaplněná láska, se kterou koketuji a doufám, že nezůstane jen u
platonického okouzlení… a Aromaterapie je tajemným a jemným hlasem Přírody, který si
mě našel tak nějak sám od sebe jednoho letního rána uprostřed luk a lesů… Stačí vám
to? 🙂

Místo konání retreatu, Beránkův mlýn, mi nepadlo do oka náhodou, tak asi jako všechno v životě. S majitelem a neúnavným karma jogínem, Jardou Vokurkou, který mlýn sám rekonstruuje, jsem se setkala v jeho nahrávacím studiu v Praze, kde pro mě, jako skoro neznámou osobu, asi v rámci služby lidu, nahrál mantry. Proto jsem se rozhodla jeho projekt podpořit a zorganizovat právě na tomto krásném místě v přírodě náš retreat. No tak uvidíme. Jsem sama zvědavá. A víte, že zvědavost je jednou ze základních vlastností v osboním růstu a tedy cesta ke štěstí?
Předběžný program:
Pátek:
18-19:30 – relaxace, ve které se s pomocí aromaterapie naladíme sami na sebe, na
naše tělo, na přítomný okamžik… pokusíme se ukročit na chvíli stranou od svých
každodenních životů, abychom nadcházející dny využili co nejlépe… – Veronika

12:30 hod: oběd
16-18 hod: tvoření koláží aneb svou budoucnost máme ve svých rukách! – Veronika

Yogatherapie zur Stärkung des Immunsystems
2018-06-24 08:00 - 17:00 | Kerala
Termin: 24.-29.6.2018
Kurssprache: deutsch und teilweise Englisch mit deutscher Übersetzung
Besonders bei MS, aber auch bei vielen anderen Symptomen, stärkt ganzheitliche Yogatherapie das Immunsystem. Harilalji arbeitet seit sechs Jahren intensiv mit MS- und anderen Patienten und konnte signifikante Verbesserungen bei Betroffenen feststellen. Dazu tragen verschiedene Faktoren bei:
– Die natürliche Harmonie von Körper, Prana, Geist/Psyche und Seele wird wiederhergestellt und unterstützt so den Heilungsprozess.
– Asanas (Körperstellungen), Atemtechniken (Pranayama), Meditation, Entschlackung (kriya), angepasste Ernährung, positives Denken, Mantrasingen fördern Freude und Glücksempfinden.
– Der/die Patient/in bekommt professionelle, wissenschaftlich belegte Anleitung und erfährt, dass er/sie – ergänzend zu herkömmlichen Behandlungen – selbst etwas tun kann und nicht hilflos ist.
– Er/sie kann selbst im eigenen Rhythmus üben.
– Das fördert Selbstliebe, Selbstannahme und Selbstheilung und kleine Erfolgserlebnisse.
– Das hilft, die auftretenden Begleiterscheinungen (z.B. bei MS von Hoffnungslosigkeit und Depression) zu überwinden.
– Symptome wie Nervenschmerzen, Blasenprobleme, chronische Müdigkeit nehmen signifikant ab oder verschwinden ganz.
– Positive Veränderungen wie mehr Energie und innerer Frieden, Lebensfreude, ein stärkeres Immunsystem, ein gestärkter Metabolismus im Gehirn, Nervensystem und Rückenmark sind nachweisbar
Für Betroffene und Therapeuten/Yogalehrende

Hlas jako nástroj k sebepoznání
2018-06-23 08:00 - 17:00 | Kerala
Datum: 23.6. 10-16 hod
Na co vám budou různé teorie, když jejich obsah opravdu neprožijete? A právě na prožitku zakládám svoje semináře. Cítím, že právě v naší moderní době založené ryze na předávání informací jsme se prožívání sama sebe téměř zcela oddálili a často už si na to netroufáme.
Troufněme si na to tedy spolu. Pomocníkem na cestě prožitku nám bude náš hlas, který máme stále po ruce. Třeba potom zjistíme, že nám hlas nemusí sloužit pouze k běžné komunikaci nebo ke zpívání ve sprše, ale dokáže odstranit i daleko hlubší blokády.
Zvuk není nic jiného než energie, která nevzniká ani nezaniká, pouze se proměnuje. Využijme proto pozitivních vibrací, manter, a poznatků z ájurvédy k péči o náš hlas, ať už ho používáme ve své profesi nebo jen ke každodenní komunikaci. Kdo z nás by nechtěl znít lépe?
časový harmonogram:
10 – 11 hod: seznámení sama se sebou a trocha té teorie
11 – 12:30 hod: lekce jógy za využití hlasu
12:30 – 13:30 hod: pauza na oběd
13:30 – 14:30 hod: prožitek venku (za dobrého počasí)
14:30 – 16:00: mantrování a čakra meditace
Pozn. Pokud hrajete na nějaký nástroj, prosím přineste s sebou.
Sama jsem vždycky byla přesvědčená o tom, že můj zpěv zní pouze v koupelně za zavřenými dveřmi a hrou na hudební nástroj jsem spíše plnila přání své maminky. Až po narození mé dcery a otevření se sama sobě a svému vlastnímu potenciálu jsem zjistila, že práce s hlasem, melodií a hudbou není založena na tom, jak moc to člověk “umí”, ale jak cítí.

Er leitet seit vielen Jahren Yoga-Therapie-Ausbildungen in Speyer, Bad Meinberg & seiner Heimat, Kerala. Seit unserer gemeinsamen Mitarbeiter-Zeit im Sivananda Ashram in Kerala in 2001 ist Harilal mit uns in enger Verbindung, unterstützt und bereichert das Yoga Vidya Zentrum in Speyer jedes Jahr mit Workshops und Kursen zu interessanten Yoga-Themen und organisiert mit uns die Yogareise nach Süd-Indien, die ohne ihn, als Mutterspachler und starke Kraft vor Ort, nicht so möglich wären, wie sie seit fast 10 Jahren sind.

„Im Jahr 2011 hat sich durch eine MS Diagnose mein ganzes Leben verändert. Damals waren die Ärzte überrascht, in welch gutem Zustand ich mich körperlich befinde. Nach deren Einschätzung hätte es mir wesentlich schlechter gehen müssen. Für mich war das ganz klar: Yoga hat das gemacht. Ich habe dann meinen langjährigen Job in der Automobilindustrie an den Nagel gehängt und mich ganz dem Yoga gewidmet. Ich glaube an die transformierende Kraft des Yoga und der Yoga Therapie, weil ich es jeden Tag am eigenen Leib erfahre. Das möchte ich gern weitergeben und speziell auch andere MS Betroffene motivieren aktiv etwas für sich zu tun.“

Jógová terapie - modul 1
2018-05-29 08:00 - 17:00 | Kerala
Modul 1: Tělo jako chrám
Termín: 29.5.-4.6. 2018
Výuka bude probíhat v češtině a Hariláldžího hodiny v angličtině bez překladu.
Modul 1+2 se koná v červnu 2018, Modul 3 v listopadu 2018, Modul 3 a 4 v červnu 2019.
Trenérský kurz jógové terapie se skládá ze série 4 ucelených vzdělávacích bloků:
1. Fyzické tělo – můj chrám
2. Energetické tělo – na vlně dechu
3. Mysl – emoce a moudrost aneb kdo z koho
4. Terapie – mezi čtyřma očima
Každý vzdělávací blok trvá 7 vyučovacích dní. Každý modul se skládá z hodin teorie, praxe (jógová terapie a denní vlastní praxe při návštěvě otevřených hodin ve studiu), 2 krát satsang.
Původně byla jóga vyučována “mezi čtyřma očima”. V dnešní době se spíše setkáváme se skupinovými lekcemi. Hlavní koncept se však nezměnil: každý člověk je jedinečný. Na světě neexistují dva lidé se stejnými otisky prstů, stejnou chůzí ani stejnýma ušima. Pokud se tedy budeme snažit vyhovět kritériím každého jednotlivce, což je nevyhnutelné na cestě k úplnému uzdravení, budeme potřebovat individuální jógu neboli jógovou terapii.
Proč jógovou terapii nazýváme celostní metodou? Jógová terapie je postavená na tradičním pojetí lidské existence jako pěti kóš (plášťů). Lidská existence se skládá z hmotného těla, životní energie, mysli (emoce, myšlenky, vzpomínky, moudrost) a duše. Vzájemně se tyto úrovně prolínají a ovlivňují. Pokud je jedna z úrovní narušena nebo spíše vyvedena z rovnováhy, ať vnějšími vlivy či vnitřními procesy, nerovnováha se přenese i do ostatních úrovní. Pokud tato nerovnováha setrvává po delší dobu, vzniká nemoc. Proto také pro úspěšné a trvalé vyléčení nemoci potřebujeme pracovat se všemi výše zmiňovanými úrovněmi, a to najednou. Dva lidé napřílad s migrénou nebudou nikdy léčeni stejným způsobem. Je třeba zohlednit jejich rodinné a pracovní prostředí, jejich stravovací návyky, jejich záliby a způsob života a podle toho navrhnout vhodný `životní plán na míru` (denní režim, stravování, pohyb, trávení volného času, vztahy, způsob myšlení). Během všech 4 modulů se toto učíme, a to především prací na sobě samých.
Je to každého právo už od narození žít šťastný a naplněný život. Nemusíme k tomu měnit partnera, přestavět dům nebo se přestěhovat do jiné země. Musíme pouze změnit svůj přístup a znovu nastolit pocit úplnosti, který už v sobě každý člověk má, ale pouze byl dlouho zakrytý vrstvami vědomých i nevědomých myšlenek, dojmů a prožitků. V tomto smyslu jógová terapie neznamená se něco naučit, ale spíše “odučit”.
