Higher Diploma Programme In Yoga Based Counseling
Counselling, or healing others, is not about our knowledge in a particular healing modality. It is more about how much we have healed ourselves and learnt about the process through our personal journey of healing.
It is hence only when we have healed ourselves through the Yoga Psychotherapy Programme that we are then in a position to heal others. The Higher Diploma Programme in Yoga Counselling is thus a culmination of the rigor (Tapa) that a student has so far put themselves through, on the journey of Self-Empowerment.
This is also the practical part of working towards developing Effective Communications and Leadership Qualities, which put us in a better position to contribute towards the healing of others. This Programme is thus applicable not only for counsellors, but also for parents, teachers, friends, or even simple well-wishers.
The Need for Yoga Teachers to Be Trained in Counselling Skills
There is presently a lot of stigma and hence a taboo associated with Mental Health and its awareness. A majority of the population, hence, is usually unaware of their mental health. Even if aware of some emotional health issue, they find it difficult to approach a counsellor or a psychiatrist to seek help due to the anxiety of being labelled as ‘insane.’
A yoga teacher is hence in the best position to make yoga students not only aware of their emotional issues, but also to help them feel comfortable speaking about it and, if possible, see a way to come out of it.
