Ghosh Training, Prescriptions

10/5/2015

0 Comments

 
We have begun doing prescriptions. Muktamala gives us a patient’s age, sex, weight and height along with ailments and issues. Our job is to prescribe breathing, exercises and postures that address the ailments while avoiding any contraindications or injuries. We started with a relatively simple one, but now she is giving more elaborate and complex cases. 

It is great practice in getting to know the exercises and postures from a different perspective. I am used to understanding everything from my own experience and sensation, but I am relatively healthy and uninjured. It is just as valuable to know the reasons NOT to do a posture as it is to know the reasons to do it. Developing a system of yoga for each individual case requires a lot of cross-checking of postures, comparing benefits to contraindications, the patient’s needs with their injuries or ailments. I find myself understanding the yoga from another angle.

This is the heart of Ghosh Yoga as passed down by Bishnu Charan Ghosh. Individualized therapy for every person, one on one.
