Yoga Therapy Training – Level 2

January 8, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - January 20, 2022 @ 4:00 pm

Yoga Psychology and the Immune System

This course gives an insight into the mysteries of the mind that Rishis (the sages) 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 the dissipated knowledge about mind and put it into a structure which is understandable to the modern mind. We will discuss about psychological hygiene. Yoga psychology analyses the deepest level of mind which is deeper than the sub-conscious as mentioned by modern psychology.

This course helps you to understand your mind and any mind-related issues common in yoga therapy. This course will also give a detailed training on anxiety and depression, stress management and strengthening of the immune system that becomes useful when treating autoimmune diseases.
