About Us @ The Yoga Place

 



The purpose of The Yoga Place is to provide an environment for people to create the energy, Self awareness, self responsibility and lifestyle to support the full expression of their lives.

The basis for Self expression is a healthy body, mind and spirit. Self Expression flows effortlessly when we live in harmony with our individual nature and Nature. It is an act of self responsibility which has its basis in "Self knowledge through direct experience".


The key to this process is to strengthen and sharpen your inner intelligence (Buddhi) which leads to Self Knowledge and the uncovering of your own inner Wisdom.

True Self knowledge only comes through direct experience. Our aim is to offer caoching, therapy and programs through which you can learn about your individual natures and how - via your own direct experience - your life starts to flow effortlessly, as this uncovering process ocuurs, and you express your true Self.

Yoga based Coaching Relationships

At the heart of The Yoga Place are Alan's personal yoga based coaching relationships. These are ongoing relationships where Alan "coaches" people to live authentic Self Aware lives based on the Yoga model of Self development . Alan is also trained by Coach University.

Requirements for Self Expression

Improving your health and learning real Self expression is all about you nurturing our own inner Wisdom - This is a process of you learning to understand your individual constitution in the context of the laws of Nature and the Universe and then living your life in ways that supports this. There are four requirements for this:

  1. You need a framework to understand the forces and laws of Nature and the Universe.
  2. You need to experientially understand your own personal nature(constitution) within this framework
  3. You need to gain Direct experience of how living both in and out of accordance with your nature and Nature has an impact on you. Through direct experience you get to know internally what is real and works for you. External knowledge is an necessary stepping stone but without internal knowledge your mind will quickly trick you into following lifestyles to satisfy your ego and it's drive for success in the materially focussed world you live in- often at a huge cost to your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. In the end, all your success in the material world will feel meaningless and leave you feeling empty inside unless it is spin-off from internal growth.
  4. You need to have an attitude of self responsibility, self commitment and a willingness to take responsibility for learning about yourself and creating and maintaining our own health.

We deliver natural therapies, courses and retreats to assist people in this process of raising their level of health, self knowledge and consequent capacity to express themselves.

We focus on two frameworks for understanding the forces of Nature and the Universe. The Vedic model from India and a meridian based model with more Chinese roots. In essence however these models are very similar - based around the same energy concepts but using different words and each with their own particular strengths.

The Vedic model is particularly powerful and is a fully integrated science of creation which incorporates many different sub-sciences which deal with different aspects of life. We deliver and integrate many of these.
