Yoga, Ayurveda, Jyotish & Coaching @ The Yoga Place

Yoga, Ayurveda, Jyotish & Coaching (this is written for a coaching audience)

This is a brief explanation of how the trifecta of Yoga, Ayurveda and Jyotish relate to coaching and how can they help your clients uncover and become more WHO they are.

Yoga is a codified science of Self development - or Self expansion. In coaching terms it is about expanding and growing the PERSONAL WHO so it is so big that it merges and becomes one with the UNIVERSAL WHO.

Yoga practice is codified in a set of Sutras (verses) written over 2000 years ago by the Sage Patanjali. It comprises of eight limbs. The first two limbs - the Yamas and Niyamas - are the PERSONAL FOUNDATION on which the rest of the practice and Self development is based. Is this starting to sound similar to coaching or what ????

Ayurveda is the "Science of life". It is Yoga's medical science. And it is more than that. Ayurveda is based on the same philosophy as Yoga. It's strength is it is WHO based. Ayurveda helps clients understand and accept WHO they are and why their bodies, emotions and minds work the way they do. Your health and well-being is effected by everything around your - your environment, the weather, what you eat, your emotions, the time of day etc. Ayurveda can help your clients understand how they are extensions of the UNIVERSAL WHO and how their individual WHO is effected by changes in the UNIVERSAL WHO.

The benefit of really "getting" Ayurveda is a experiential and known sense of WHO you really are, a known sense of how you are connected and part of the UNIVERSAL WHO , a greater sense of connection and understanding of other individual WHOs and why they are the way they are.

Ayurveda provides our clients with a way to take responsibility for their own health and a way to design a lifestyle which supports the functioning and expansion of WHO they are. From your perspective as coaches, it is a way to add to the PERSONAL FOUNDATION in a way the deals truly with individual WHO. WE all live and depend on our physical body and energy for life. Ayurveda plugs the holes in our physical structure and helps us build energy for SELF / WHO expression.

The Personal Foundation program from Coach University works on plugging up the holes in your client's structure through which they are loosing energy . One aim of coaching is to restore integrity - to block up these holes in the client's structure so they have more energy for Self expansion and expression.

Yoga recognises that a person is made up of three bodies : a physical body, an emotional body and a mental body. It is an integrated Self development model which works in conjunction with Ayurveda to plug the leaking holes and restore integrity in all three bodies. One of the "gaps" in Coach University's current Personal Foundation program is a way to plug the leaks in the physical and mental bodies. I use the physical aspects of Yoga, combined with Ayurveda, to help clients design programs to deal their physical structure. I use more advanced energetic and mental aspects of Yoga to build energy and strengthen the mind - Yoga is about mind control - learning to concentrate and still the mind. It is learning about "not to do" in order to "become more" - sound similar ???

Jyotish is the science of light. It is Vedic astrology. I use Vedic astrology as a tool to help clients discover how their WHO is trying to express itself in this material life. In coach speak it is about helping clients discovering their TRUE VALUES.

I do individual sessions and coaching and build this knowledge into my practice. I am offering programs on personalising the PERSONAL FOUNDATION using this trifecta. These may be of interest to you or your clients. My pilot program/s will be live and my aim is to explore delivery using the Teleclass format.
