About this Course

Recognizing the difference between intellectual knowledge and a deeper intuitive experiential understanding, this workshop will be devoted to focusing on the primary importance of the healing relationship™ between therapist and client, the most essential ingredient: human connection.

Through an in-depth coverage of the maya koshas, chakras, kleshas and gunas students will gain insight and understanding of the client as a multidimensional being learning how mind, emotion and body inter-relate to cause dis-ease as well as promote healing on.

Yoga Teachers and other healers will learn how to better serve their clients and patients as well as more effectively communicate and work with a patient’s family members and the medical community. Through expanded skills, wisdom and compassion students will be able to provide support across a broad array of situations relating to health, dis-ease.
