21: Yoga as a Theory of Psychology with Meera Dhawan

All Mats Taken - A Yoga Teachers Business and Lifestyle Podcast

On episode 21 of The All Mats Taken Podcast the fascinating Meera Dhawan shares how Yoga in itself is a theory of psychology. Within ancient yogic texts, we have profound frameworks for what makes us reduce suffering, what the mind is made up of, and practices that help us physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

In this episode we’ll explore:

• The Pancha Kosha Model
• Tools for working with the layers of ourselves
• Nervous system regulation
• Incorporating breath and yoga into mental health services
• Tools we can take away to work on our mental health

After listening to this episode you’ll be asking yourself: Why is Yoga not taught more in mental health spaces?!?
