Diploma in Yoga Counselling

Introduction

Healing is a process; it occurs step by step. It is only when we allow ourselves to heal that we can heal others. It is only then is our intention to heal others out of true compassion and not for any personal gains. This is also the practical part of Transcending Homeostasis where, after working on ourselves, we are in a better position to go beyond personal comforts/ aspirations and contribute towards the healing of others. This 40 hrs program is the Foundation Course, designed to help you learn the technique of Introspection to unlearn the faulty patterns picked from childhood that come in the way of living our best lives. It helps us question our beliefs, understand our needs, and find answers for every question that could have ever blocked you.
Understand and learn the fundamentals of contemporary psychology, counselling, and healing with the Yoga perspective. This Diploma Program in Yoga Counselling is a practical training that puts you through a scrubbing machine to cleanse away all the blocks that prevent you from shining brightly.
