Counseling from the Perspective of Yoga Philosophy (Part 1), Amy Wheeler Solo Episode

Amy shares a lecture that she gave to her students recently in the Yoga & Ayurveda Essentials Course for Yoga Therapists in training. Amy shares a Tip Sheet of common ideas from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra and Indian Philosophy. This Tip Sheet has many of the common areas that Amy touches upon when she is helping her yoga therapy clients explore their internal world, spirituality, life experience and how to feel happier and healthier more of the time. This type of counseling is akin to Buddhist Counsel or Christian Counsel from a minister or priest. We know that reflecting on the spiritual scripture and ancient yogic texts gives us food for thought as we examine our own lives, and our clients learn to do the same. Learning to give appropriate counsel from the perspective of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra is a big part of what our students in the Optimal State Yoga Therapy Certification course learn in their 2.5 year program.·        Amy discusses purusha and prakrti·        The three gunas·        Mahat or deep impressions that we come into this life with·        Ahamkara, or the survival mechanism·        Svabhava, the blueprint of our lives·        Co-assessment of the 5 layers of the human system·        Vasanas or subliminal tendencies·        Samskara or habitual patterns·        The 5 klesa-s or causes of suffering·        The 6 klesa vrttis or manifestations of the Klesas·        The 5 yamas or social attitudes·        The 5 niyamas or personal disciplines If you would like to receive the free infographics and handouts that correspond to each episode on the Yoga Therapy Hour Podcast, please subscribe to our segmented email list. You will have the opportunity to determine the Infographic Topics that you would like to receive. When The Yoga Therapy Hour Podcast has a topic that corresponds to your choices, then you will receive an email for that week with the PDF’s for download.Topics you can choose from include: Yoga Therapy & Mental HealthYoga Therapy & Physical HealthSocial Justice in yoga & Yoga TherapyYoga/Ayurveda ToolboxYoga & Indian PhilosophyGlobal & Trending Yoga Therapy TopicsClick the link below to subscribe. It takes 10 seconds total.https://amywheeler.com/subscribe Check out www.amywheeler.com Visit Amy’s training section on her website to check out the courses belowhttps://amywheeler.com/865-certified-yoga-therapist-program
