Prescribing Yoga to Supplement and Support Psychotherapy

VALENTE AND ANTONIO MAROTTA As the flame of light in a windless place remains tranquil and free from agitation, likewise, the heart of the seeker of Self-Consciousness, attuned in Yoga, remains free from restlessness and tranquil. —The Bhagavad Gita The philosophy of yoga has been used for millennia to experience, examine, and explain the intricacies of the mind and the essence of the human psyche. The sage Patanjali, who compiled and codified the yoga teachings up to his time (500–200 BCE) in his epic work Yoga Darsana, defined yoga as a method used to still the fluctuations of the mind to reach the central reality of the true self (Iyengar, 1966). Patanjali’s teachings encour- age an intentional lifestyle of moderation and harmony by offering guidelines that involve moral and ethical standards of living, postural and breathing exercises, and various meditative modalities all used to cultivate spiritual growth and the evolution of consciousness. In the modern era, the ancient yoga philosophy has been revitalized and applied to enrich the quality of everyday life and has more recently been applied as a therapeutic intervention to bring relief to those experiencing Copyright American Psychological Association.

For example, empirical research has demon- strated the benefits of yogic interventions in the treatment of depression and anxiety (Khumar, Kaur, & Kaur, 1993; Shapiro et al., 2007; Vinod, Vinod, & Khire, 1991; Woolery, Myers, Sternlieb, & Zeltzer, 2004), schizophrenia (Duraiswamy, Thirthalli, Nagendra, & Gangadhar, 2007), and alcohol depen- dence (Raina, Chakraborty, Basit, Samarth, & Singh, 2001). -

Yoga and the Five Prana Vayus CONTENTS

Reproduction or use of editorial or pictorial content in any manner without written permission is prohibited. Introduction t its heart, hatha yoga is more than just flexibility or strength in postures; it is the management of prana, the vital life force that animates all levels of being. Prana enables the body to move and the mind to think. It is the intelligence that coordinates our senses, and the perceptible manifestation of our higher selves. By becoming more attentive to prana—and enhancing and directing its flow through the Apractices of hatha yoga—we can invigorate the body and mind, develop an expanded inner awareness, and open the door to higher states of consciousness. The yoga tradition describes five movements or functions of prana known as the vayus (literally “winds”)—prana vayu (not to be confused with the undivided master prana), apana vayu, samana vayu, udana vayu, and vyana vayu. These five vayus govern different areas of the body and different physical and subtle activities. -

CELEBRATING INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY 2020 WITH DAFI SCHOLARS YOGA: FIGHT STRESS AND FIND SERENITY IN COVID TIMES As the world faces one of its worst pandemics, there’s been a renewed focus on building one’s immunity. While eating right is one way to do it, another time-tested way is to practice yoga. Yoga, a mind-body practice is considered one of many types of complementary and integrative health approaches. Yoga brings together physical and mental disciplines that may help in achieving peacefulness of body and mind. It also helps to relax and fight stress. The restricted travel, panic over the risk of infection and continuous flow of negative news due to coronavirus are causing stress and anxiety. For physical, mental health and the well-being of humanity yoga has never been more relevant as a simple home remedy.

Bridge Pose Practice Sheet
Bridge pose – designed and engineered, constructed, and finally used as a bridge! Ultimately bridge pose done classically requires courage to drop back independently from shoulderstand. But there are supported versions all can practice helping develop the skill and confidence to eventually practice the drop back. But before the final pose, we should begin with the designer/engineer perspective. Open your practice with the invocation or sit quietly considering the journey to the quieter inner self. Bridge pose design – The first step is to actively collect the components necessary for the design. Setu Bandha requires long thighs, open chest, pliable upper back, and flexibility in the arms and shoulders. Also, we need the ability to do a difficult pose with a quiet mind. So this first set has those aims in mind. Parvatasana in Swastikasana Lift low back Extend side chest Straighten elbows Virasana with arm movements Sit on height as needed Keep spine well lifted Take deep breaths when your arms are working hard Adho Mukha Virasana Use bolster for head and arms Next, a few upright standing poses. Repeat the set at least twice alternating between two mental confinements as the origin of your execution of the poses. 1st repetition - execute your pose originating from the pelvis and radiating to the limbs. 2nd repetition - originate from the sternum area, keep the chest wide open and broad, and radiate to the limbs. Remember this is the “collect bridge components stage” of the practice. So have in mind your objective of bridge pose; picture its shape even while doing other poses.
