  • Yoga Journal - When Yoga Becomes Psychotherapy 12-08-31 2:35 PM
    Yoga Journal - When Yoga Becomes Psychotherapy 12-08-31 2:35 PM When Yoga Becomes Psychotherapy Learn to spot the boundary between guiding poses and guiding emotions. By Dan Charnas My mother is a psychotherapist. I became a yoga teacher out of that same desire to heal. I was intrigued by yoga's ability to deal simultaneously with body and mind: Emotional issues that might take years to tease out in conventional therapy were instead brought to the surface physically, and causes of physical disease could often be deduced through conversation. For me, the union of yoga and psychotherapy was natural. Students would come to my class not just in need of a physical workout, but often in great emotional pain. For those who stayed after class to talk, I'd spend time listening to their problems and trying to guide them on their healing path. Most times those remedies would be an exercise or meditation. But at other times, I'd speak to them with the bluntness of my teacher, Yogi Bhajan, the Master of Kundalini Yoga, who would often not even let his students finish their sentences before reading their energy and dispensing instructions. I've never gone quite as far as that, but venturing into "therapeutic talking" with my students scares me a bit, partly because it comes to me so easily. I am, after all, just a yoga teacher, trained only in the effects of certain sets of exercises on the body, mind, and spirit. I am not a psychotherapist. I don't have an advanced degree in psychology or social work, nor do I have any training in the clinical detachment that therapists use to guard the people in their care.

Stephen Aizenstat, PhD. President iv March 2002 v Abstract THE YOGA OF EMBODIMENT By Jane Dobson As Eastern forms of yoga continue to gain popularity in the Western world, people flock to yoga studios in droves to practice series of poses-- bending twisting, contorting, inverting, and studying more about the predecessors of their art: most probably, BKS Iyengar and Pattabhi Jois. There is no doubt that yoga practice can be exhilarating, challenging, and highly rewarding. However, after years of study, the author wonders whether such “systems” and “schools” of yoga, such as Iyengar, Astanga, and Power Yoga, work to perpetuate the mind/body split that lies at the basis of many contemporary physical and psychological conditions.
