EVIDENCED BASED CONTENT
We painstakingly research and present all course content to ensure the highest quality. While the program is drawn from authentic established sources, it is also supported where relevant with evidenced based research. Each module comes with comprehensive course notes.
PHYSIOLOGY
Pulmonary stretch receptors present in the smooth muscle of the airways respond to excessive stretching of the lung during large inspirations. This triggers afferent nerve impulses via the vagus nerve to the Medulla Oblongata, which inhibits the need to exhale by slowing the respiratory frequency. (Physiology of Kumbhaka)
PHILOSOPHY
Sutra 1. ATHA YOGANUSSASANAM. Now the exposition of yoga is being made. The science of Yoga laid out in these Sutras is based on instructions passed on by a lineage of Teachers.
Yoga is a science based not on mere logical thinking, but by empirical proof.
The term Pratijna, means knowledge by direct experience.
HISTORY
Samkhya philosophy and the basis of Patanjali’s Eight Limbs of Yoga.
Samkhya is an atheistic philosophy requiring evidence and proof and does not require faith or belief. Samkhya explains the Universe in a pragmatic way and is not led by religious dogma.
SOUND UNDERSTANDING OF ALIGNMENT
Fundamental to safe practice and teaching is a strong knowledge and understanding of the alignment of posture combined with applied anatomy. Each body will have its idiosyncrasies meaning adjustments will need to reflect the individual. Time is spent observing and discussing modifications and adjustments so that students are confident and assured when advising and adjusting..
EXPERT TEACHERS
“They showed the correct and more importantly the safe way to practice and there is no doubt in my mind it would be difficult to find teachers as expert as these.” Louise
