2nd
Foundation Course in Yoga Psychology
11th
March to 11th April, 2014
Conducted by
Centre for
Indian Psychology
Context
Today, across the globe, yoga has been accepted and acknowledged as
a potent means to help restore and enhance physical, emotional and psychological
well-being. Traditionally however, its role extended far beyond its therapeutic
nature. It served primarily as a rigourous and time-tested tool for
Self-knowledge and self-development. Hence, in order to acquire a deeper
appreciation of the Yogic tradition, it becomes imperative to explore its
psychological dimensions that are significant and relevant in the present
context in order to evolve a more comprehensive and effective system of
psychology that can be effectively applied for self-management and self-development.
In this backdrop, the Centre for Indian Psychology proposes a one month Foundation Course in Yoga Psychology which
will be the first in a series of Basic and Advanced Courses in Indian
Psychology.
Content and Outline of the
Course
The four credit (60 hrs) course is planned keeping in view the
philosophical, theoretical and applicational underpinnings of the subject as
well as the need to situate them in the context of mainstream psychology. It
aims to introduce the participants to the theory and application of the
psychological dimensions of various streams of Yoga as expounded in the texts
like the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutras. It will further
aim at providing them with a foundation of the basic concepts and theories
related to Consciousness, the nature of the Self, identity, various streams of
Yoga; discussing issues related to knowledge and research in Yoga Psychology; as
well as applying and working with some of the transformative aspects of Yoga
Psychology.
