Managing negative mental health by regulary yoga training [EPUB ebook] 

Essay from the year 2008 in the subject Psychology – Miscellaneous, grade: keine, Bayurveda Akademie (Bayurveda Akademie), language: English, abstract: I chose the subject „Managing Negative Mental Health by Regulary Yoga Training“ because it’s
my field of expertise In my job as an Addiction Therapist, Psychological Counselor and
Yogateacher I work with mental disbalanced, addicted and psychological sick people. Everyday I
give lectures on mental health and hold group therapy and yoga lessons. I evaluate my work and
study the writings of Western therapists and Eastern Yoga Masters on Yoga Psychology.
Because of this I come to the conclusion that specific Yoga exercises are very helpful in
managing negative mental health. Research at several European, American and Indian
universities is going on. I am convinced that the ongoing scientific studies will show again positive
results of yogic treatment. In the future Yoga will become very important for public health care
systems. In my opinion it make sense to begin with teaching Yoga in schools. Children should be
trained in mental pureness, concentration, physical fitness and self-discipline by Yoga. By this
way we would prevent many problems such as troubles, difficulties of learning, and psychological
problems of children. In India Yoga is a part of University programs. Students can graduate in
Yoga, Yoga Philosophy, Education etc. at several Universities such as SVYASA University,
located in Bangalore. It is my purpose to establish the Science Yoga as a part of academic
University programs. Therefore I create a concept of a Bachelor-, Master- and Doctoral program
in the field of Contemplative Psychology. Actually I offer these programs to the public at
Bayurveda Academy, Germany, an affiliate of several international universities and yoga schools.
In the following work I want to give an overview about the most important fields of my inspections
in the field of Yoga. The citated resp. used literature is listed under „References“.
