WELCOME TO YOGA & SWADYAYA
SWADYAYA, THE YOGA WAY TO MAKE THE MIND FLEXIBLE
The same way physical yoga exercises renders your body more flexible, Swadyaya, which is one of the 5 virtues called Niyamas allows us to become flexible in our mind. In particular when the mind is impacted with negativity or due to education has always been rigid or is even injured due to trauma, practicing Swadyaya will be a life changing experience.
YOGA & SWADYAYA
Yoga & Swadyaya focusses on trauma in particular and there’s no doubt that many forms of psychological illness and injury arise in our materialistic society. Often such pathogens are either not addressed at all or in a way that doesn’t suit the person concerned.
WHAT DOES SWADYAYA MEAN AND HOW DOES IT RELATE TO YOGA?
Swadyaya uses our mind in a smart way according a protocol that has been brought to perfection over the last 5000 years. Basically, it’s by insight we can ourselves balance our psychological state. In yogic words, we are balancing our unbalanced chakras* rather than letting our under or over-active chakras unbalance our mind.
* Chakras are energy centers that reside in or near our body, each one of them representing a psychological quality.
MY PERSON AND MY YOGA KNOWLEDGE
My name is Christophe Frommelt and I am 51 years old and I have experienced the positive impact SWADYAYA first hand to help healing C-PTSD (Complex post-traumatic stress disorder). For a year I studied at The Yoga Institute in Bombay, the oldest and only yoga school in the world teaching philosophy. "The Yoga Institute" and its founder Shri Yogendra have also played a major role in the renaissance of yoga, notably by contributing to the simplification of exercises and to modern psychosomatic yoga.
After completing the 200-hour basic teacher course (TTC 200), I was particularly interested in courses that focus on psychological disorders and trauma.
So I completed for 9 months the courses of Level 1, and 2 in chakra psychology and 3 and 4 in "yoga counseling" based on the principles of the "Manthan Yoga Foundation". To have more theoretical knowledge I also took the advanced 900h yoga teacher course, recognized by the Indian AYUSH ministry and which includes the certificate (TTC500). This course teaches the philosophical approach of yoga in more depth.
As part of my graduation work from the "Yoga Counseling" course in cooperation with the NGO "Swadyaya Pariwar" the "Union" project was born. “Union” aims to make psychological support available to poor people in Bombay who have suffered serious trauma. Another objective of the UNION project is to counter the pathology of narcissism in order to reduce its harmful effects.
