Program Description:

 

This training, offered in three four-day sessions, gives Kundalini Yoga teachers

a foundation for teaching Kundalini Yoga to people with health conditions - with

specific application to viral conditions, most cancers and diabetes. The

psychology of health recovery and inclusion of the family for support will also

be addressed.

 

We build on participants' level 1 Kundalini Yoga teacher training to deepen and

expand the application of yogic philosophy, technique and habits of conscious

living toward health recovery.

 

Training includes developing assessment skills, understanding and working with

contraindications, the process of change, and planning a course of action with

the client.

 

We review scientific research on yoga and meditation for health conditions,

marketing, starting classes in hospitals and other settings, curriculum for

group and private classes, preparing case studies, tracking outcomes and

collecting data on predetermined measures.

 

Special attention is given to the personal development of the teacher to

engender awareness, intuition, compassion, deep listening, sensitivity,

humility, endurance and grace.

 

Yoga teachers and health care providers find this training a useful adjunct to

clinical practice.

 

Each of the three four-day sessions meets the qualifications for 38.4 contact
