Traditional yoga, born from the lands of India, is scientific and embraces the important role of the nervous system in healing. There is inherent evidence in the traditional yoga scriptures and principles of Hathapradapika embraces the holistic needs of an individual (breath, movement and consciousness) for physical, emotional and psychological pain.

W-E acknowledges that western products of “trauma informed or evidence based” yoga are colonised practices of traditional yoga principles and do not take into consideration the cultural heritage of consciousness integral in the traditional principles of Yoga scriptures.

“Consciousness” in western world of Yoga have misrepresented it as “Mind”. This translation is incorrect and sadly the translation errors are manifested through the clinical approach and attitude of prescribing, analysing or teaching yoga (only asanas and pranayama) to children or adults who suffer from emotional or psychological pain. Consequently such approaches will lead individuals to find only temporary relief.

W-E provides workshops to help understand the role of “consciousness” pertaining to emotional or neurological based condition and experientially discover the embodied aspect of consciousness (belief system) to find relief from pain. These workshops will help embrace your thinking and practice with children (6-24yrs) on the use of Yoga as a yoga practitioner living with pain, as a yoga teacher or as a parent of a special needs child:

• Dysregulation symptoms arising from conditions such as complex PTSD, developmental PTSD (also known as child trauma)

• Neurological conditions include those diagnosed with ADHD/ADD/autism conditions, sensory issues.
