Course Content

Course SYTTC001 : Surya Yoga Basics

• Teaching Surya Dhanya or Surya Meditation
• Advance Surya Pranayama
• Understanding Yoga Sutras related to Surya Yoga
• Functional Anatomy and Therapeutic Yoga

Course SYTTC002 : Surya Yoga Therapy : Musculoskeletal Assessment

Prerequisite: Functional anatomy and therapeutic yoga.
This course will deepen your understanding and knowledge of the function and location of the muscles and joints of the body. You will learn evaluation techniques for the strength and length of each muscle and joint. This evaluation will be taught in two ways. First you will learn to evaluate each part separately. Then you will learn a more functional, integrated approach to evaluation. Through learning to “read” the student’s body you will learn the tools to find imbalances as you watch their ability to move through asana practice. This ability to “read” the practice will give you a more functional understanding of what is going on in their body and how certain imbalances may lead to pain and dysfunction. The development of a personalized plan of care and personalized asana practice for your student based on this evaluation will be taught. After this course, you will be able to help students with musculoskeletal dysfunctions (for example: back pain, neck pain, arthritis, tendonitis) by finding their imbalances and helping them to find a yoga practice to restore balance as well as modify asanas as needed.

Course SYTTC003 : Surya Yoga Therapy :Medical Issues: Integrating Medical Knowledge and Intuitive Healing

This program is designed to integrate medical knowledge with traditional yoga practices of asana, pranayama and meditation. Common medical conditions including: neurological, endocrine, cardiovascular, pulmonary, autoimmune, inflammatory, cancer, and gastrointestinal will be discussed. The physiology behind the condition as well as common treatments and the application of yoga practices to the disease will be discussed. Current research on Yoga for these conditions will be presented (Joydip, Wisdom Stimulus : Application of Bhagvad Gita in Management, 2011). The relationship of the mind to the healing process will be explored (Vivekananda, 2006). There will be opportunity for students to inquire about any medical topics of interest.

Course SYTTC003 : Surya Yoga Therapy :The Yoga Way: Emotional Well-being

This course will give a concentrated overview of psychology and the human condition from the ancient Yogic perspective (Ashram, 2014). We will review Yogic concepts related to understanding the mind, including kosas, kleshas, samskaras, gunas (Haratranft, 2003). We will explore how these concepts fit into the modern psychological models of the mind and how they may be useful in understanding and treating dysfunction. Students will learn Yoga Therapy methods for managing or assisting in healing psychological difficulties, including depression, anxiety, and traumatic stress responses.

Course SYTTC004 : Surya Yoga Therapy :Functional Integration:

This is the last class taken in the program. Using all of the information from the five courses you will have the opportunity to work with case studies. You will practice evaluation techniques from the medical, musculoskeletal and psychology modules. You will then develop an assessment and plan of care using what you learned in the meditation, pranayama and Patanjali Yoga Sutra (Haratranft, 2003) courses. This will be an experiential course focused on bringing all of the information together and will include a competency check off to ensure you have developed these skills.
The Assignments and Module Test would carry 50% of the weightage and the another 50% weightage would be in the Part I Written Examination.

Course Steps

This will be a two step process. Step one will consist of a research paper on a topic of interest in the field of yoga therapy. Step two will require 2 client evaluations with 2 follow up visits for these clients. This can be done in your hometown. A write up of these cases will be submitted and a phone meeting will be scheduled to discuss the paper and case studies.

Why Sri Joydip teaches Yoga ? [ In his own words ]

2003-2009 as a Part Time Yoga Teacher, and Yoga Student in Sri Aurobindo Centre for Advance Research.

I am teaching yoga for last 13 years now. Further , I started teaching Yoga in 2003, as a part time teacher , sharing my own practices to a group of people. In 2007, I did a professional course in ‘Psycology of Yoga’, from Sri Aurobindo Centre for Advance Research, Pondicherry, in Sri Aurobindo’s Integral Yoga based on ‘Synthesis of Yoga’. The course emphasized on the psychological aspect of Yoga . Earlier , I did also training on Reiki 1st degree and second degree from Reiki Kendra , where I learned about the subtle aspects of healing and therapy. At 2009 , I have a deep spiritual experience in Sri Aurobindo Ashram, followed by meeting my Guru Arunachala Shiva/ Guru Dakshinamurty in Tiruvannamalai.

2010-2016 as an Yoga Teacher, Writer and Filmmaker on the subject related to Yoga, in Sri Joydip Ashram

From 2010 , I restarted teaching yoga, more regularly on banner of Sri Joydip Ashram, mostly taking reference of Bhagvad Gita’s yoga and its application in Management . I wrote three books on it, and visited across India, giving lectures upto 2011 .

In 2012 , I went into a deeper search and sadhana on Yoga for one year . That year , in the meditation with Sri Dakshinamurty (who is known as Adi yogi – the first yogi), in a temple in Tiruvannmalai , a system of Yoga is revealed to me , how we can connect with the energy of ‘inner sun’ with a group of mantras , pranayamas , Surya Kriya and Asanas . Surya yoga alongwith Surya Kriya and Surya Dhyana formed a part of system of Yoga , which is referred as “Wellness Yoga” and which helps on mindfulness and building awareness that could heal disease , create a sense of wellbeing and make people happy .

I started teaching Surya Yoga from 2012 onwards, and I initiated many students across the world , on this system of yoga, both online and offline.
From 2013 onwards , I started regularly publishing blog articles in Speaking Tree, and many other Yoga journals, across the world, on Yoga, and a list of my published articles are given below.

In 2013, I also joined the ‘Yoga Teachers Training Workshop’ with Ramkrishna Mission Vivekandanda University, as a Yoga Filmmaker, in Assam and created two films on ‘Yoga as Medicine ‘ and ‘Yoga for Wellness’ on the application of Yoga on Medicine, and the application of Yoga on Human Wellness. ‘Yoga as Medicine’ was highly praised and selected for screening in Kolkata International Film Festival 2013.

In 2014 and 2015, I was the secretary of the Organising Committee, of World Yoga Festival 2014 in Burdwan, and World Yoga Festival 2015 in Tiruvannmalai , which is jointly organised by Sri Joydip Ashram and Eastern India Yoga and Spiritual Organisation Association, where we have many different yoga school participated, and exchange their thoughts and views on Yoga.

On 2015, I did 2 online courses from 2 International Universities in Australia (Monash University) and Russia ( University of Aberdeen) on Mindfulness , Peak Performance , Food and Nutrition along with Well being . This courses helped me to connect my knowledge on Yoga with mindfulness, Nutrition , Food habits and create programs like Wellness Program , Workplace Wellness Program which help many students to live well , become happy and have a general sense of Well being.

For last 13 years, I am teaching yoga to share some of divine gifts, I have received for using Yoga for health and Wellbeing, and transforming human beings into Divine Beings.

I love writing on Yoga, and I have almost 6 Paperback/E-books on Yoga , numerous articles on blogs and also many videos, telling different aspects of Yoga.
