In the ancient days in Indian meditation and mindfulness training programs "Holistic yoga" practices were used as tools and techniques to train/master the mind and thereby transform the mind to a state of meditation and mindfulness. In holistic yoga/authentic yoga practices all 5 aspects of the human system are integrated (physical, energy/breathing, mind/mental, right knowledge, and bliss). All 5 are interrelated and interdependent in one unit. This one unit is the human system. The word yoga means joining/integrating/union. Unfortunately in the modern days instead of integration, all 5 are separated and taught as yoga, meditation, mindfulness, etc. This is just the opposite of authentic yoga meditation and mindfulness. They will be teaching you the holistic yogic techniques in this training course and they will make sure to transform your mind to the states of meditation and mindfulness. Once you experience these changes, you will be able to confidently teach others.
