Objectives of Yoga Psychology Foundation

OUR VISION

  • Create well-structured programs that help use the process of Awareness as a tool for Mind Management on the principles of Yoga philosophy, that are easy to understand and practice. These modules are designed in a way that also help us understand the present labels of psychological and medical conditions, but from a perspective that clarifies the counselees’ contributions in their own health condition.
  • Provide these programs as a therapeutic measure for various psychological and medical issues; helping them reduce or come out of the need to take medicines in conditions, so far considered untreatable, OR treatable only through medicine.
  • Creating avenues for providing these modules to various end users, including both;

a) Patients and counselees who would need it for themselves and.
b) Doctors, Counsellors, Healers – who can have hands on experiences and then provide these modules to their clients and thus

  • Conduct simultaneous research that goes on to show the positive effects of Yoga practices and self-awareness, in the overall health of an individual. This can provide scientific support to this ancient Indian wisdom so that it can be included as a part of mandatory curriculum in the fields of education and medicine.
  • Based on the foundation of a proper scientific research, develop Yoga as an important;

a) Alternative Form of Therapy (in certain medical & psychological conditions)
b) Complimentary Form of Therapy (in most of the medical and psychological conditions)
