With clear guidance, sample session outlines, and meditation scripts, this book helps yoga therapists design practices that embody each of the five layers of our being. It also offers suggestions for communicating with clients about the model, provides accessible tools and handouts to help in the yoga therapy assessment phase, and presents how common conditions may relate to imbalances across the Koshas.Grounded in tradition and designed for use in daily life, this book shows you how to incorporate the Koshas in ways that empower clients on their personal journeys of self-awareness, insight, and healing.
