Svastha Yoga Therapy Programme with Ganesh Mohan
Module 1 16-20 November 2012
Module 2 21-25 November 2012
Tsim Sha Tsui
| About the Programme |
|---|
In this professional programme on yoga therapy, we aim to bring you the most effective aspects of traditional yoga and ayurveda combined with the discoveries of modern science. We have designed this programme especially for yoga teachers.
Specific guidelines for different conditions and general treatment principles will be detailed, empowering you to safely and effectively address disabilities and ill-health through yoga.
The programme is delivered in intensive modules. Each module may be attended independently. Every module aims to help you immediately begin applying what you have learned in your teaching.
Programme Highlights
Cohesive development by faculty team. The faculty are not independent lecturers each teaching their own topic in their own way. We have worked together to design an integrated and focused programme specifically for yoga teachers.
Authoritative background in classical yoga and ayurveda. This programme offers a direct link to the profound sources.
Mainstream medical content. You can feel confident in interacting with healthcare professionals using the knowledge you gain from this programme.
Open framework. The modular approach, combined with an emphasis
on mainstream acceptability, means you can integrate these skills easily
with other studies, as well as build upon them. We will ourselves also offer such continuing education.
Broad coverage. This programme gives you a foundation in everything that
traditional yoga has to offer, as well as a wide spectrum of modern medicine
(General medicine, rehabilitation, psychiatry) and ayurveda.
Clear, practical approach. The highlight of Svastha yoga's approach is clarity - setting aside all secrecy, mysticism, or confusion.
*Certificates will be given for each module. However, completion of this course does not entitle participants to offer treatments unless they have the required professional training in medicine/healthcare. |
