This is an interview about Yoga as Therapy with my beloved teacher Sadhana Pezet. Sadhana has more than 40 years of experience in the field of Yoga Chikitsa. We talk about Yoga as a therapy and why it is different from our perception of a western therapeutical approach.
We also talk about:
- how Yoga can alter the experience of yourself
- what Chikitsa, the sanskrit work for therapy, means in the context of Yoga
- why Yoga Chikitsa does not only look at the symptoms but the individual mind & body
- how Ayurveda and Yoga Chikitsa are interrelated
- why not all Yoga practices are suitable for everyone, and if Yoga is the path for anyone
- why Yoga is an individual path and how you can still serve people in a group setting
- how you can create energy through Yoga practice instead of wasting it
- what the Gunas Tamas, Sattva and Rajas have to do with the phases of a Yoga class
