Yoga psychotherapy shows us how to restore balance, enlighten the mind and find lasting purpose and meaning” Dr Swami Shankardev

Yoga psychotherapy

Yoga psychotherapy plays a vital role in the successful treatment and management of physical, psychological and spiritual conditions. When combined with Western psychotherapeutic approaches it creates a powerful holistic approach to long-term healing and spiritual awakening. Yoga psychotherapy views illness as a sacred path to higher awareness.  We can gain this perspective if we have the appropriate knowledge, techniques and support.

Yoga psychology and psychotherapy are based on the cultivation of self-awareness and knowledge of the “subtle body”, the part of us that lies sandwiched between the physical body and the spiritual or causal body, the subtlest part of us.
